A donkey in England has been saved by 24 litres of cola after he had a blockage in his stomach.

Fifteen-year-old Joey stopped eating when his elderly mother, Josie, died last November. He found himself in serious condition soon after when he developed a solid blockage of food in his stomach which was preventing food to pass through his small intestine.
