[QUOTE="Lammie, post: 241501, member: 3306"] I have a jennet, mini donkey, that has developed a lumpy behind. There may or may not be a story connected with this. In May, we wormed. We were using Zimmecterin. I estimate that she weigh 250 pounds. We dialed that up on the little lid thing and when we shot in into her mouth, the plunger didn't stop and so we estimate that she got at least twice the amount she should have gotten. We freaked out, mainly because she is pregnant, due to foal in August, and I thought it might have an adverse effect on the pregnancy. After reading the literature with the wormer and contacting our vet, it was decided that she'd be okay. Now she has a lumpy butt. It looks like fat deposits that have just rolled in under her skin. She's probably at least 10 years old and we have been watching her weight. Our donks tend to run on the chubby side and I know I was feeding too much grain. My husband says that it is parasites under her skin, where they have died and are lumped up. I don't know what to think. It was the first time in two years that we were even able to catch her to worm her. She's wild, but she is a dependable brood mare, and she has foals with great dispositions. Every one a lover, which is what sells for me, since most of my buyers prefer dispposition over confirmation. Any ideas what is wrong with this girl? [/QUOTE]
