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 the most common skin problems and how you can work with your vet to establish cause and treatment.

Webinar details

Skin diseases are some of the most common problems in donkey care. There are many different causes of skin problems from biting flies, internal parasites and sarcoids, to name a few.

While skin diseases are highly visible, they often are misdiagnosed by owners and in the worse cases even mistreated. To help with your understanding of skin diseases, their diagnosis and treatment, this webinar takes you on a tour of the most common skin problems and how you can best work with your vet to establish the causes and treatments.

If you have donkeys, even if you have had them for years, this webinar is for you. Packed full of information and practical advice, this webinar will help you to spot problems early. You will learn why it is crucial to get your vet involved and the diagnostics your vet will use to establish the cause. Early diagnosis will ensure that your donkeys receive the correct treatment promptly.
