Another donkey rescue in Nepal

Created Thursday, 03 June 2010

On May 17, 2010 our staff came across Maya, a frightened, light coloured 13-year donkey, at Bolbum brick kiln. Maya tried to find grass and water but was unable to do so. She turned out to be fully blind, and malnourished and dehydrated. Maya also suffered from a skin disease and saddle sores. If our staff would not have found her in time, Maya would not have survived.

After getting permission to take her, Maya was transported to our Donkey Sanctuary where she received emergency treatment. She was kept in a separate room for a few days, until she was strong enough to mix with the other donkeys. Maya is recovering well. We are hoping her eye sight will recover a little thanks to daily eye cleansing and treatment. We wish Maya a happy well deserved retirement!
