Do donkeys and mules require different dental care than do horses?
All equine species have the same type dentition. We see the same types of pathology and wear patterns in donkeys, mules, zebras and horses. Under current domestication practices, all require regular dental care. Dr. Easley, of Shelbyville, Ky., is nationally recognized for his expertise in equine dentistry. He is a past chair of the AAEP’s Dentistry Committee and serves as an association spokesperson on equine dental issues.
