Clinical pathological investigations in a case of equine isoerythrolysis are reported. Plasma and milk from the dam strongly agglutinated the foal's red blood cells at fifth day post partum. Red blood cells from one liter of the mare's blood were separated from plasma and after three successive washings with saline were successfully transfused into the foal. Elevated plasma transaminase activity, hypoglycemia, hypogammaglobinemia, and renal embarrassment were observed in this foal. The changes in the various plasma constituents are discussed.
