As Natural News readers well know, I live a rural lifestyle where I care for rescued animals, raise free-range chickens (layers) and practice self-reliance and preparedness skills. Wouldn’t you know, one of my rescued donkeys gave birth to a newborn right before a cold front and five inches of snow hit Texas over the last few days.
This is a dangerous situation for newborns, as they’re born wet and cold, and it sometimes takes them hours to figure out how to start nursing. During this time, some newborn calves, donkeys, deer or other animals can freeze to death if they aren’t cared for.
So when I stumbled upon this newborn baby donkey right before the storm hit, I knew I had to take action. As expected, she could barely stand. I had to carry her a ways to help her bond with her mother. So how do you protect a wet baby donkey when a cold front is arriving? You purchase a doggy vest and work the donkey’s front hooves through it, then zip up the back to create a warm coat.This one is very friendly and nuzzles right up to me. She likes to be hugged… at least until her momma shoves herself in the middle and says, “Don’t touch my baby!”.
