Pumpkin with BoThis website is a real story about a donkey called pumpkin who has found so much needed love and care.

Pumpkin used to be a neglected donkey left on a grassy place all year round, with only occasional hay and no regular hoof care. All of this, including my discovery of her insulin resistance condition, resulted for her in painful laminitis (inflammation of the hooves caused by sugar from grass containing fructans, polymers of sugar fructose) and founder (rotation of coffin bone caused by separation of coffin bone and hoof wall because of inflammated laminae).

And even after several years of my trying to do everything possible to help Pumpkin, her hooves are still far away from being perfect with moved coffin bone inside, visible on the x-ray pictures in Galleries page.

I hope that all this will change with devoted care and treatment. You can read more about this, and other issues, on my News page and throughout this website.

Thanks for visiting and enjoy the story.
