| |
− |
| |
− | A hyperaesthetic (apparently pruritic) skin disorder that resulted in severe
| |
− | self-trauma has been reported. The donkey sustained a fracture of a cervical
| |
− | vertebra and the associated dermal segment showed persistent sweating
| |
− | and remained a constant irritation to the donkey. The area was traumatised
| |
− | persistently, but topical local anaesthetics had no material effect.

− | ===[[Rabies - Donkey|Rabies]]===
| |
− |
| |
− | Donkeys are liable to rabies like all other major mammals, and affected
| |
− | animals may show severe (central/paradoxical) pruritus. The patient will
| |
− | bite, lick and rub at the site of the original inoculation. Usually there is a
| |
− | history of a bite at the site and so clinicians MUST always ask before they
| |
− | examine a donkey in an endemic area that shows a focal, severe, progressive
| |
− | pruritus. Usually the course of the condition is rapid and so a diagnosis may
| |
− | be assumed or confirmed from the clinical and supportive tests.
