Donkey condition

Donkeys hide fat in the crest and in pads, not like a horse and not like a cow. Tap a score. This is not a boarding service.

Seasonal care

Wet seasons: pick feet, don’t leave them in mud that never dries.
Fly season: eyes, cuts, sheath/udder. Donkeys will stand there and take it.
Fat donkey: cut calories slow. A crash diet on a cresty donkey is a laminitis bet.

Moderate is a common healthy target. Crest and pads tell you more than the belly does.

Planning look only — not a vet diagnosis, not a diet, not a boarding ad. Donkey fat doesn’t come off like horse fat. If they are skinny or foundered, call a vet.
