If oral nutrition is not possible due to ileus, then '''partial or total parenteral nutrition''' can be used to supply energy. [http://drupal.thedonkeysanctuary.org.uk/ The Donkey Sanctuary] has little experience with this kind of therapy. Hospitalisation is required for this treatment and in certain cases the movement of an anorexic, geriatric donkey to a hospital may not be indicated.

Racehorses and sick neonatal foals commonly suffer from gastric ulcers due to the stresses they experience. [http://drupal.thedonkeysanctuary.org.uk/ The Donkey Sanctuary] has found that hyperlipaemic, anorexic donkeys commonly suffer from gastric ulcers which are frequently only diagnosed at ''post-mortem''.
     −
The ''ante-mortem'' diagnosis of gastric ulcers using direct endoscopy is not commonly undertaken in the donkey, as the period of starvation required to make the lesions visible is contra-indicated in the hyperlipaemic or potentially hyperlipaemic donkey. The administration of '''gastro-protectants''', such as omeprazole, may be indicated in any sick or inappetent donkey.
