When Angela Langoski took in Ferguson, a miniature donkey, at her donkey rescue center east of Fond du Lac, his front left hoof was so disfigured it had formed a large abscess. At the UW School of Veterinary Medicine, a veterinarian amputated part of the animal’s leg and a prosthetist fit him with an artificial limb. Now the gray-and-black creature who spent most of his days lying down in pain is standing, walking and developing some equine attitude.
