==Drug administration==
−
−
The parenteral (e.g. intravenous, intramuscular, subcutaneous, intra-articular)
−
or oral routes are used most commonly to administer drugs to donkeys.
−
The choice of administration route depends on a number of factors,
−
such as the need for dose titration and the expected onset and duration
−
of action <font color='green>(see Table 1)</font color>. Aseptic technique needs to be strictly practised for
−
intra-articular administration since the consequences of intra-articular
−
sepsis are particularly severe. Drugs can also be applied topically for local
−
effects. However systemic action can occur following the administration of
−
drugs by this route, e.g. atropine has systemic effects following ophthalmic
−
administration.
