Abstract
A 4-year-old, American Paint horse gelding with recurrent episodes of exertional rhabdomyolysis was diagnosed with equine polysaccharide storage myopathy (EPSSM). The common clinical signs were muscle weakness, loss of muscle mass, exercise intolerance, difficulty holding up limbs for farrier, sensitivity of grooming, cramping with reluctance to move and the inability to rise. Through histological examination of skeletal muscle specimens, this case was confirmed of EPSSM.
