Yes, I posted this on the donkey forum, but thought I might get more response here, please help.
I got a four year old donkey gelding to be a buddy with my 9 year old horse gelding. We were unsure of his past, so we pulled a coggins and gave him all of his vaccinations and worming, three weeks ago. He is on a half acre pasture with a mineral block (with selenium) during the day and in a stall with grass hay at night. His manure is 50/50 mush and solid. Every day, no change, he has had plenty of time to adjust or develope a sickness. I am at my wits end as to why he won't be consistant. He doesn't appear to be "sick", meaning he is not showing any colic symptoms, he's eating and drinking regularly. I am going to call my vet tomorrow, but do ya'll have any suggestions?
