This is much less common than hepatic disease. It is often seen in multiorgan failure in the terminally ill donkey. There is also some association with urinary calculi, hyperlipaemia and colic. Again, animals with end-stage disease from a chronic condition will usually present as dull and anorexic although renal disease can be extremely painful and, in T. Sprayson’s experience, affected donkeys can present with signs of acute colic.
