==The lame donkey==

It is often in an advanced stage that a lameness is recognised in a donkey kept as 'pasture ornament'. They are often recumbent for prolonged periods and may have depressed appetite, which increases the risk of [[Donkey - Hyperlipaemia|hyperlipaemia]]. Full clinical examination should be performed and if in doubt, at least a visual inspection of serum/plasma from a blood sample.
  −
Hospitalised donkeys are at risk of intestinal obstruction and should be closely monitored, especially those fed a more dry, fibrous diet. Analgesics may mask the signs of colic.
  −
Few donkeys will trot up in-hand like horses for a lameness investigation, therefore free exercise in an enclosed space may be more rewarding. Standard regional analgesia may be emplyed, however, small size of some joints may limit the intra-articular anaesthesia.
