'''Infection''' can be superficial and easily dealt with, or deeper, leading to involvement of the vaginal tunic and scirrhous cord. Any suspicion of infection should be promptly investigated under sedation using a gloved hand. Local superficial infection is best dealt with by enlarging the incision sites to improve drainage, combined with cleaning with povidine–iodine and a course of [[Antibiotics|antibiotic treatment]]. If infection is within the vaginal tunic, repeat surgery is required to resect all affected tissue and this may need to be combined with scrotal ablation if the scrotal tissue is also oedematous and infected.

Donkey stallions need firm, confident handling. They can be very strong and may require a bit in the mouth when being led. Be aware that they may bite!
