Area of Science:

Veterinary Dermatology
Comparative Pathology

Background:

Donkeys (Equus asinus) are globally significant as working animals.
While related to horses, donkeys exhibit distinct dermatologic disease patterns.
Understanding these differences is crucial for effective veterinary care.

Purpose of the Study:

To summarize and highlight dermatoses specific to donkeys.
To compare donkey skin diseases with those in horses.
To provide insights into variations in prevalence, presentation, and treatment.

Main Methods:

Literature review of reported donkey dermatoses.
Comparative analysis of equid skin conditions.
Clinical observations and case reports synthesis.

Main Results:

Donkeys present unique dermatologic conditions not commonly seen in horses.
Specific skin diseases in donkeys may differ in presentation and severity.
Treatment approaches may require adaptation for donkey-specific physiology.

Conclusions:

Donkey dermatology warrants specialized attention due to unique disease profiles.
Comparative studies with horses aid in understanding donkey-specific conditions.
Further research into donkey dermatoses is recommended for improved animal welfare.
