Thats what we've been doing. We have black mats down because it was such a pain cleaning the straw out. So we decided to just leave the mats down with no straw until it gets cool out. Seems to have helped alot. They don't seem to like to go in and pee on the black mats as much as they did when...

Thank you. I have peroxide and betadine (povidone-iodine). Do i use them full strength or diluted?

I lifted her foot and the crack is all the way through the wall.Its about an inch long crack. She just had her hooves trimmed 3 weeks ago. Should i go ahead and call the farrier to come out and check it? Also,is there anything i can put on her hooves to keep moisture in them.Our ground is very...

Great advice guys.Thanks a million.:) We currently have a 20x24 Morton building that we used to just store mowers,ATV's and junk in.We made a 12x12 stall on one side of it. So the floor is concrete, then we put 2 bales of straw down as bedding. But its a stinky mess. I will go to our Supply...

I'm in Central ohio. Just west of Marysville.

Thanks everyone for the advise. I wiped his eyes yesterday with a wet cloth and put some horse/pony fly spray on him,and it seems to have helped keep the flys away from his face. I went out this morning and his eyes are watering a little bit but not as bad as it has been for 2 days.

We brought our mini donkey home Saturday. He's just the cutest little thing. He's doing great and getting spoiled rotten. But yesterday evening i noticed his eyes watering.There was wet trails running down his face from his eyes. Is this normal?
