Rectal prolapse is commonly seen in working donkeys overseas that are suffering from heavy [[Donkey - Parasites|parasitism]], diarrhoea and malnutrition. Classification and treatment for the condition is as for the horse. There are two reports of rectal prolapse in donkeys in Egypt by Abd El-Kamm (1995).

There are two reports in the literature about this condition by Kay (2005) and Misk and Nigam (1984). Both reports are from clinics dealing with working donkeys in Egypt and Morocco respectively. Kay suggested that there was over-representation of donkeys with sialoliths but the reason for this is unknown.

There are two reports of mandibular clefts and bifid tongues in the literature relating to the donkey and mule (Farmande and Stöhler, 1990; Bouayad et al, 2006). Surgery was performed in four cases, of which two were not returned by their owners for follow-up, one died, but one managed well.
