Three dogs attacked Zeb the donkey, giving him life threatening injuries. Zeb spent the last 57 days at the OSU Veterinary Hospital in Columbus.
Zeb still has a bit of healing to do before he is allowed to stay in his new barn. Moving from the vet hospital to a transitional farm will help move Zeb along in his healing.
“This will give me the chance to, in the next couple of weeks, to strengthen a little more an put on muscle mass, which he lost,” Hensley said.
Zeb is expected to be at this transitional farm for four to six weeks. In the meantime, Hensley is building Zeb a bigger shed for when he returns.
“Build the barn, that’s in progress over here. That way, on days where the weather is bad […] they can have an area to roam around,” Hensley said.
Throughout Zeb’s healing, his partner Ellie has been by his side.
