 Castration in the donkey is complicated by the '''small size''' of the patient necessitating '''general anaesthesia''', and the need for '''ligation of the spermatic cord'''. In addition, a wide range of ages may be presented for castration. At [http://drupal.thedonkeysanctuary.org.uk The Donkey Sanctuary] the range can be from 6 months to 29 years. There are also a number of donkey owners who request castration of foals only a few days old.

-In theory, '''castration of the very young donkey''' can easily be done under sedation and local anaesthetic, with an assistant holding the foal. In practice, one must bear in mind the stress of the procedure, and perform a full work-up including measurement of IgG before attempting castration. Unless the conditions are very clean there is the risk of the foal succumbing to neonatal sepsis after surgery.

Unless the conditions are very clean there is the risk of the foal succumbing to neonatal sepsis after surgery.
 '''Castration of the mature adult donkey''' can be complicated by the presence of '''excess fat''' within the scrotum and inguinal region. Surgery at this late age is unlikely to remove behavioural problems associated with stallion-like tendencies.
