Chipie is a 31-year-old donkey, whom we took in a month ago as her owners were getting too old to look after her.
Sadly, she has Cushing’s disease: her body produces an excess of cortisol, which weakens her immune system. This is displayed through laminitis, hirsute hair and deficiencies.
Chipie is also affected by leptospirosis. This bacterial disease has weakened her, and she's struggling to get back on her feet.
A healthy, vitamin-rich supplement like pellets would be ideal for Chipie. While replenishing her energy, such food would help her regain strength. It would be a good way for her to fortify herself, despite her health problems.
We've taken in more animals, bringing the number of our charges to 280. At the moment, it's hard to find caretakers. Not to mention the huge budget needed to feed all our donkeys!
