==Introduction==

To select a drug and dosage for a donkey, basic pharmacological principles
have to be applied. There is the added disadvantage that few veterinary
products include data on, or market authorisation for, the donkey. This
section will briefly review some of the basic principles of pharmacology,
outline some of the differences between donkeys and horses that may
need to be taken into account in drug therapy, and provide background
information on some of the main classes of drugs used commonly for
donkeys.
