January 2026 in “Veterinarski glasnik” This case report focuses on the clinical monitoring of an orphaned wild Bosnian Mountain Horse foal, emphasizing the importance of age-appropriate interpretation of clinicopathological findings. The foal underwent repeated hematological, biochemical, coprological, and dermatological evaluations. Findings showed physiological anemia typical in foals and normal developmental adaptation in leukocyte profiles and biochemical values. Two distinct skin conditions were identified: a localized periocular dermatophytosis caused by Microsporum canis and a diffuse alopecic lesion of non-infectious origin, which resolved spontaneously. Despite challenges related to orphan status and suboptimal nutrition, the foal maintained stable health, highlighting the need for comprehensive clinical assessments in similar cases.
