Gedalia

No one has any idea how I got to Mazkeret Batya and why I was abandoned, but luckily I was taken to the SPCA stables where they took me in, fed me nourishing food and treated the scabies that I was suffering from

The sweet donkey, Gedalia, was found roaming around Mazkeret Batya, having run away from or been abandoned by his owners, and reached the SPCA stables following a report made to the SPCA call center by passers-by. Gedalia, one and a half years old, was examined by the veterinarian, who concluded that he needed special food, a deworming shot, washes and special creams to treat scabies and the deep wounds from which he was suffering.

During rehabilitation in the stables, Gedalia gained weight, was neutered and had his hooves trimmed. The area affected by scabies was treated by daily washes with disinfectants and ointments until it was completely clear and the hair had grown back.

Three months after Gedalia arrived here, the rehabilitation process was complete. He has become a healthy and happy donkey and has found an adoptive home in the North.
