==Neurological diseases of the skin, cutaneous hyperaesthesia==
 
 
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.
