    Remember Clementine????

    My horse busted down the fence to the jenny's pen last March. the jack got in. I thought I caught him in time. Now she is bagging up. The jack's name was "Fast Freddy". He earned that name well. I hope he didn't knock up his daughter too! I didn't want a winter foal, but I have no choice now...

    Why did gelding kill my Jack?

    I posted this situation at a yahoo miniature donkey group. The feed back was very different. Many spoke in the defense of the vet stating these things can happen and there is no way of knowing until it happens. Others stated it was my fault he died because I went to work after he was up and...

    Why did gelding kill my Jack?

    I checked out the wedsite that was posted. Thank you. They suggested that before filing a complaint with the state, file a formal complaint with the party involved. I did call and inform the Vet, got no reply. I guess I was to nice. I'll call again tomorrow and clearly state how upset I am and...

    Why did gelding kill my Jack?

    I called the Pulaski Vet clinic to report the donkey's death. Dr. Burno was out on a call. I reported it to the receptionist. She was very nice and gave her sympathy. I did not get a follow up call from the Vet, Dr. Burno of the (Pulaski Wi.) Vet clinic. I would like to file a complaint. How do...

    Why did gelding kill my Jack?

    It is after 3 am. I am madder than heck and can't eat or sleep. I found out tonight from another equine person that they too have had problems with this same vet. He came out to geld her horse and he gave him the wrong dosage of the wrong sedative. She was wise enough to call in another vet who...

    Why did gelding kill my Jack?

    Has this happened to anyone else? I think he had a bad reaction to the sedative. He trembled during and after the procedure. it took him a long time ( 2 hours) to "recover" and get back on his feet. He still trembled 14 hours later. He was gelded at 10:30 am. Didn't get on his feet until 1 pm...

    should I geld????

    Yesterday I had my 15 year old donkey Jack, "Freddy " gelded. I found him dead this morning. I am just sick about it. I even broke down, cried at work, and had to leave early. I am so sorry I had this done to him. I feel so guilty. He was sweet as pie and a great buddy. He was just to...

    New pony rescued, pregnant?

    I don't know how you can tell who buys the ponies for what purpose. There are certain dealers who are known for picking up horses and ponies for the slaughter houses. But if you don't know the people buying them, anyone could be doing it. I don't think the people who do this want to be known...

    Eye Smoogie?

    The pony gave birth to a healthy, beautiful, silver filly this morning. Both mom and daughter are doing great. Couldn't find any after birth. Do some mares eat this? I know my goats do when they give birth. I have potbelly pigs sharing the area. They could have eaten it too I am so happy and...

    New pony rescued, pregnant?

    Before going to bed last night, I knew the rescued pony was about to foal. She was squirting milk all over her hind legs as she walked. I stayed up as late as I could stay awake. Needless to say I feel asleep and she foaled. First thing I saw when I woke up this morning was a healthy silver...

    New pony rescued, pregnant?

    I don't have any information on the person(s) that had all these pony's that went to auction. I am really glad my friend saved this one. She looks like a miniture Saddlebred. She is 40 inches tall at the shoulder. Very straight back. She is putting on lots of weight and eats like a horse Her...

    New pony rescued, pregnant?

    A Friend bought a pony at an auction. What ever didn't sell went to slaughter. Of the 28 ponys there, only 3 got bought. My friend bought her to save her life, then passed her on to me. He thought she might be pregnant because she ran with a stallion or two in the pasture she came from. I felt...

    Eye Smoogie?

    Her eye(s) cleared up on their own. Must have just been some dust.

    Eye Smoogie?

    Thank you for your reply. I would like to keep the POA. I'm trying to come up with a good name for her. I live in Wisconsin.

    Eye Smoogie?

    Seems just as I find a home for one rescue, I get in another. I just aquired a beautiful POA mare today. She has puss in one of her eyes. Her eye isn't swollen or look injured. It reminds me of the eye smoogie I have when I get up in the morning. Should I be concerned and what can I do for it...

    Weaning?

    Will mother Donkeys wean their own foals or do they need to be seperated? If they need to be seperated, at what age?

    Height standard?

    My jenny is 32" inches at the shoulders if I remember correctly. So my neighbor lady is mistaken. I didn't think they came much smaller than mine. thanks for your reply.

    heat cycles

    Thanks for the information. I wasn't planning on having the daughter bred for several years if at all. The mother was in heat the third week of March. I was trying to calculate future heats. I heard that horses come in heat every four weeks. I was wondering if donkeys were the same way. I'd like...

    heat cycles

    Do donkey's heat cycle every 4 weeks? When do they first come in heat, what age? My little girl is 7 months old. I am afraid of her daddy knocking her up. They are in seperate pastures, but have heard stories of them breeding through fences.
