Doughnuts for Donkeys E-Gift

This gift can pay for 20 doughnut bandages that will protect wounds and put working animals on the road to recovery.

When Yero was brought to our Nouakchott centre in Mauritania, he had painful sores on his back caused by his worn-out saddle. With no protection from the constant rubbing, the painful sores had no chance of healing. Our vets first cleaned the wounds, applying a soothing antiseptic solution. Concerned with how thin Yero was, the team also administered an anti-parasite injection and advised his owner on making changes to Yero’s diet. Lastly, they gently placed a doughnut bandage pad under Yero’s saddle. His owner listened carefully as the team explained that the bandage pad was designed to keep pressure off Yero’s wounds, enabling them to heal effectively and reduce his pain.
