Donkeys and Laminitis

With Alex Thiemann, Senior Veterinary Surgeon

Introduction

Introduction

The Donkey Sanctuary has an ambition to help improve the lives of donkeys and mules around the world, by providing relevant up-to-date resources on donkey care, welfare, behaviour, nutrition and veterinary topics. These recordings of live webinars are created to help owners, handlers, carers and the employees of organisations across the world find the information they need to improve the lives of their donkeys.

This webinar recording explores laminitis in donkeys and explains more about this cripplingly painful foot disease.
