When this donkey came to the clinic with his young handler, he had painful wounds caused by constant friction from his saddle and wretched chain halter.

After treating the donkey’s injuries, staff talked to the child about the proper care the donkey needs and wrapped the chain with a soft cloth to help prevent future wounds.
