Donkeys suffer from the same respiratory diseases as horses; however, owing to their nonathletic nature many conditions can present in a more advanced state before becoming clinically apparent. Anatomically, their respiratory tract is similar to the horse, with certain species-specific differences that are important to be aware of. Often donkeys do not receive the same level of routine care as horses, so many are not vaccinated against respiratory pathogens such as influenza or herpesviruses. Donkeys can act as a reservoir for certain infectious and parasitic respiratory diseases and the interpretation of diagnostic tests needs to be carried out with caution.
驴患的呼吸道疾病与马相同；然而，由于它们不具备运动性，许多病症在临床上显现之前就可能处于更严重的状态。从解剖学角度来看，它们的呼吸道与马相似，但存在一些特定物种的差异，需要加以注意。通常情况下，驴接受的日常护理水平不如马，所以许多驴没有接种针对流感或疱疹病毒等呼吸道病原体的疫苗。驴可能成为某些传染性和寄生性呼吸道疾病的宿主，对诊断测试结果的解读需要谨慎进行。
