An Ass taking medicinal plant oils

The medical diagnosis is largely irrelevent, it helps to have knowledge of potential interactions between synthetic drugs and medicinal oils; however, in my own experience, Animals do not choose oils that are incompatible with any treatment drugs.

This Ass has selected the oil required by inhaling a number of different oils, his responses are clear Yes pleases ... trying to take the bottle, licking or mouthing the bottle or attempts to inhale the smell or No .. head turning away and refusal to proceed further.



One of the greatest challenges helping working Egyptian Donkeys, Asses, Mules and Horses using this approach, is their frequent inability to lick using the tongue; this may be because the tongue or it's muscles are actually broken from the use of wire bits or because they have no experience of using the tongue, they have no controlled use of it; they normally just grab solid food and suck up water.

Often in this case, as with the Ass above they will try to use their teeth to scrape the oil from the hand, suck the hand or rub the insides of their lips and gums onto the oil in the hand. 

This Ass selected oils associated with clearing trauma and those with anti-viral properties.

The Ass is often white or many shades of brown and is considerable larger than the biblical small grey Donkey which also bears the black cross shaped marking over it's back. 

The Ass also has a very loud bray.
