“…Several surgical techniques have been reported in donkeys for corneal ulcers resolution, such as the use of a porcine urinary bladder extracellular matrix graft in a miniature donkey with severe unilateral keratomalacia [119]. When medically treating donkeys with corneal ulcers and, if atropine is administered, gut motility, fecal production, and heart rate should be closely monitored [120]. Nonulcerative keratitis (e.g., eosinophilic keratitis) has been reported both in mules and donkeys.…”

a b s t r a c tCardiovascular diseases are scarcely reported in donkeys, probably linked to their limited athletic attitude and low frequency of poor performance-related examinations. Reports on treatments for cardiovascular pathologies are anecdotal in donkeys. Respiratory tract anatomy shows important differences between horses and donkeys. Donkeys and mules can act as reservoirs spreading many viral, bacterial, and parasitic infectious respiratory diseases. Mosquito and tick-borne encephalitis have been reported in these species in the later years, and even donkeys are being used as sentinels in some areas to detect these emerging diseases. Management and treatment of lithiases can be transferable from horses; however, the same assumption must still be demonstrated for acute and chronic renal diseases. Ocular pathologies are similar to horses, with corneal ulcers frequently observed. Lameness is a common problem in donkeys, with laminitis as the most reported cause followed by pedal abscess.

Preoperative diagnostic methods for digital flexor tendon sheath pathologyA.R. Fiske-Jackson and colleagues from the Royal Veterinary College, UK, have recently reported the findings of their study on the use of intrathecal analgesia and contrast radiography as preoperative diagnostic methods for digital flexor tendon sheath pathology.This study (Fiske-Jackson et al. 2012) found that contrast radiography is a useful tool for the diagnosis of pathology within the digital flexor tendon sheath. Currently, ultrasonography is the mainstay of diagnosis for manica flexoria and marginal tears of the deep digital flexor tendon (DDFT). However, the sensitivity of this technique is reported to be 38% and 71%, respectively. Use of a contrast tenogram increased the sensitivity for diagnosis of manica flexoria tears to 96% (specificity 80%). Marginal DDFT tears were diagnosed, using this technique, with a sensitivity of 57% (specificity 84%). This study also evaluated the response to intrathecal analgesia and found that horses with DDFT tears were significantly more likely to have a positive response to intrathecal analgesia than those with manica flexoria tears. This technique is a useful addition to the diagnostic evaluation of manica flexoria tears in horses.

Risk factors for colic in equids hospitalized for ocular disease

Abstract: There was a high incidence of colic in equids hospitalized with ocular disease in this study. Findings from this study may help identify equids at risk for development of colic and thereby help direct implementation of prophylactic measures.
