Abstract

Many donkeys are now kept as pets rather than as working animals, meaning they often live longer, with many now reachinng 20 years old and being classed as geriatric. These patients often require specialist treatment and management, as they are prone to conditions such as dental disease. Vets and registered veterinary nurses who are caring for geriatric donkeys with dental disease at their practice can help to increase comfort in several ways. The owners of geriatric donkeys with dental disease should be fully involved with any treatment plans and fully supported through any management changes.
