Diagnosis and prevention of donkey disease

Donkeys have a strong tolerance to general diseases, so attention must be paid to the diagnosis and treatment to prevent the occurrence of epidemic diseases.

A healthy donkey always has a high head and neck, erect ears, moves freely, chews forcefully when eating grass, and makes a sound. The mouth color is fresh, the nose and ears are mild, the dung ball hardness is moderate, the appearance is moist and bright. If the donkey bows his head and droops his ears, his nose and ears are cold or overheated, and his feces are dry and hard, with a small amount of mucus outside. Although he eats grass, he drinks little or no water, indicating that the donkey is about to or has fallen ill. If the donkey cannot afford to lie on the ground, the spirit is depressed, and the attached breeder is unwilling to leave, special attention should be paid to it, which is a sign of serious illness.
