Veterinary Care of Donkeys

Summary

The purpose of this text is to bring together the current knowledge on veterinary medicine specific to donkeys. At the same time, this text aims at revealing the areas in which species-specific information is still missing, stimulating perhaps further research. Much is known about horses but less is known about donkeys and too often information is simply extrapolated to the donkey. The editors recognize that this text cannot be truly complete at the present time since there are many areas where information is still lacking. Through the use of the electronic book format, the editors plan to add information as it becomes available, making this the most current and complete reference on donkey medicine.
