Menelik, a six-year-old donkey from Wajitu Kebele, in Ethiopia, works daily transporting vegetables, grain and firewood. One day while working, he suffered a small scrape which his owner, Fikadu, initially treated himself. Weeks later, the wound still hadn\u2019t healed, prompting Fikadu to seek help at SPANA\u2019s mobile veterinary clinic. Our vets examined Menelik and determined that the wound had become infected, causing the donkey serious pain.<\/p>\n
The vets administered antibiotics, provided anti-inflammatory pain relief and then thoroughly cleaned the wound. They also advised Fikadu on proper wound care and how to ensure Menelik\u2019s comfort, emphasising the importance of professional treatment. Finally, they scheduled follow-up visits at the mobile clinic, which plays a vital role in reaching animals in remote areas like Wajitu Kebele, where veterinary services are scarce.<\/p>\n
\u2018Thank you, SPANA, for supporting us through free treatment for our donkey. Our family life depends on the income Menelik helps us generate.\u2019<\/em> \u2013 Fikadu<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" This gift can provide everything a lifesaving SPANA mobile clinic needs to run for half a day.<\/p>\n E-gifts will be delivered electronically within 24 hours of purchasing unless a postponed date is specified.
