==Drug administration==
The parenteral (e.g. intravenous, intramuscular, subcutaneous, intra-articular)
or oral routes are used most commonly to administer drugs to donkeys.
The choice of administration route depends on a number of factors,
such as the need for dose titration and the expected onset and duration
of action (see table below). Aseptic technique needs to be strictly practised for
intra-articular administration since the consequences of intra-articular
sepsis are particularly severe. Drugs can also be applied topically for local
effects. However systemic action can occur following the administration of
drugs by this route, e.g. atropine has systemic effects following ophthalmic
administration.
