Congential amastia, a medical condition in which mammary tissue fails to develop, was detected in a 3-year-old Quarter Horse mare. The dam of the mare was also afflicted with amastia, suggesting that the condition was due to an inherited genetic mutation as noted in other species. In addition, on presentation the mare had a purulent vaginal discharge secondary to a pyometra.
先天性无乳腺症，一种乳腺组织发育不全的医学病症，在一匹 3 岁的夸特马母马身上被发现。该母马的母亲也患有无乳腺症，这表明该病症是由于遗传基因突变引起的，正如在其他物种中所观察到的那样。此外，在就诊时，这匹马由于子宫积脓而出现脓性阴道分泌物。
