What Should I Do If My Donkey, Horse or Mule Eats Chicken Feed?

Rio2012eye

Call the vet asap as your donkey, horse or mule can die from colic!

What happens if my donkey eats chicken feed?

Intestinal upset, diarrhea, colic and laminitis, lung, liver and heart health issues. Feed intended for chickens may be filled with additives that are very toxic for donkeys, mules and horses. 

Create excellent storage lockers, gates, fences to keep all food, drugs, donkeys, other animals safe. 

Donkeys are visual learners, meaning a donkey can watch you do something and repeat it. Excellent gates, fences and locks are needed when owning donkeys or they will get lose. 

Can my donkey kill my chickens?

Yes. Donkeys can grab the neck of the chicken and snap it or stomp, kick the chicken in the head. Please create a place separate from the donkeys for your chickens and donkeys to live. 

Can chickens make donkeys sick?

Chickens that roam the pastures can also cause health issues for your equine partner. Lice is a huge problem for donkeys due to their thick fur coat. Sanitation issues from chicken droppings can pose health problems for horses such as infection from Salmonella, botulism, candidiasis and histoplasmosis (fungal infections) and even streptococcus.

What are symptoms of salmonella?

Salmonella usually affects the gut and may cause severe diarrhea in donkeys, horses and mules :

  • Fever.
  • Severe watery, foul smelling diarrhea, which can be bloody.
  • Weakness.
  • Tiredness.
  • Loss of appetite.
  • Can Salmonella cause colic in donkeys?

    The clinical signs of Salmonellosis in adult donkeys include diarrhea, lethargy, fever, anorexia, and colic. Affected donkeys, horses and mules will be susceptible to infection. Once recovered, these horses may continue to shed the bacteria in their feces, potentially transmitting it to other equine.

Sadly I have received too many e-mails of people who did not call the vet or waited too long and the equine died.  If you love your equine call the vet asap!

 

GOD bless you and your family two and four-legged!

Looking For Help With Your Donkey, Mule or Horse?

Donkeys are not horses with long ears

RIO&MELODYM

First comes taming, next comes teaching the donkey, horse or mule to become an honor equine

My husband Scott and I have owned Rio our Mammoth donkey since he was nine months old. He came to us with no training, in fact we could not lead him at all.  Rocket Man came with Rio at thirteen and he had many issues of mis-trust, he is no longer afraid of anything.  Miss Lily my horse came into our lives at twenty months with no training.  I have helped over one hundred people world-wide with their donkeys and mules and a handful of horses learn how to train and stay a leader 100% of the time.

Rio (our Mammoth donkey) two days old

RIO2DAYS OLD

Picking out the hooves should be done each and every day just like brushing your teeth, if not every day at least three times a week.

Imperative to keep the training in place for the trimmer, Farrier or vet.  Additionally this helps you make sure no thrush or rocks are stuck in their hooves. Being a proactive human will keep your equine in optimum health.

Happy 10th Birthday Jewel

jewelnov2013lovesland

Jewel is a rescue I found as a puppy in our home town of Kingston, Washington.  It seems like yesterday that I brought her home wiggling, and extremely busy.  Jewel has been my most special dog ever, she and I are very connected and when GOD takes her to heaven it will be very difficult for me.  I love her so very much!

jewelcoatnov2013

Jewel is 70 years old in people years now and she is having pain with arthritis in her hips, I give her medicine from our vet and it helps but her muzzle is gray now and she has slowed down.  Seems our dogs do not live long enough they are here for such as short time, angels sent for us humans.  When I was at my darkest time stuck in the wheel chair, sleeping in the lazy boy for over four months she would never leave my side as she knew I was hurting.

Pets are truly special and unique they are given to humans as gifts from Jesus to help us navigate this thing called life. Jewel loves her ball, most of my photos she has the ball, whenever I get my shoes on she has one paw on my foot. I love you Jewel!

GOD bless you and your family two and four-legged!

Introducing Miss Trophy Our Second Beautiful Mare

Friends of the Donkey Whisperer Farm

Trophy as a baby 

Trophybaby2008

A GOD story

I have accepted a free horse her name is Trophy.  I met her when she was a yearling as my neighbor bred her mother. Equine people gravitate to one another. She will live with Miss Lily my quarter horse lead mare. “GOD uses his children to bless his children this is why it is important to always treat people the way we want to be treated. Giving is far more rewarding than receiving in most cases”.  This is favor from Jesus Christ as he made us neighbors first and friends second, remember GOD always has a plan long before we do.

Trophy is a five-year old American Saddlebred Mare

Trophy2013agefive

We look forward to moving to our new twenty acre farm next spring and watching Miss Lily and Miss Trophy run and play. Never give up on GOD as he will never give up you.

Anyone have one of these American Saddlebred horses or have you previously owned one?  Please leave me a comment as I am interested to learn all I can on this breed.  I have joined the American Saddlebred Association and I am doing all my homework as usual but I would really love to hear from you.  Please do not be shy, share your photos, videos and stories.

GOD bless you and your family two and four-legged!
