Donkeys (Equus asinus) and their hybrids (mules and hinnies) are used throughout the world primarily as beasts of burden, but occasionally for other functions, as a meat and milk source or as pets. Although closely related to other equids, they have some unique features of their own with regard to dermatologic disease. This article highlights the various dermatoses noted or reported in donkeys, as well as comparisons with horses when differing in prevalence, presentation, or treatment.
