A typical donkey cart at El Marise, Luxor, Egypt. Animal Welfare of Luxor - AWOL - Donkey logo.

AWOL ~ June 2011 ~ Donkey Newsletter ~ Page 1 of 6

This owner brought his donkey to us and he had done his best to cover the wound but on inspection it needed more than just covering.

A parked donkey cart fell on this donkey under which there was a large protruding nail that impailed itself into his skull.

Dr Mohammed had to remove a pointed slither of bone just over an inch long that couldn't be left in just in case it moved.

 

Working with the people
has great benefits for the
improvement in the
welfare of the animals

Treated, wrapped and ready to go. Just as long as we keep infection out of the wound whilst it heals this donkey will make a full recovery.

Education of owners is always so important.

Catching problems early really makes such a difference to the
speed of recovery
