For the cherry eye, typically lubrication (I like lubricants that contain HA like Oculenis) followed by hot compresses (with calendula is great) 2-3x a day.

For the other symptoms, I'd advise continued homeopathy. Have you been...
Hey Jenn!
Welcome to HA! and thanks for making your first post. I'm so sorry to hear about your donkey's health challenges.
You are very wise to consider curative homeopathy for him. For the remedies to be effective, they must be used according to the totality of symptoms, past and present...
The most important things to monitor are BEAM, BM (stools), appetite, and straining to poop but nothing comes out.
Does he go outside, or might he be pooping somewhere in the house, like a basement?
How about:

And I love Christine's suggestions. Especially the structured water:

Great question, Amy!
And thanks for making your first post.

Yes, cooked food, bland diet (blenderized foods like baby food) is gentler on his GI and is a good idea.
I'm sorry to hear about your kitty's vomiting Bettina!:confused:
How young/old is he?
What's his BEAM?
Has he had any medical challenges? If so, you may want to bring him to your vet. For example, if he is a cat with kidney dis-ease then he should receive an exam and SQ fluids.
Nope!
Yes.
For frequency I'd say a few times within an hour of bedtime, however @Dr. Jean Hofve is the expert, by far, here.
I typically don't advise giving anything on an ongoing basis other than a variety of fresh food, exercise and enrichment.
Pipi's sleep pattern will shift with...
Probably not if the food is just muscle meat (and no heart or added taurine). Can you find a commercial balanced raw diet like Viva or Small Batch?
If not, use a blend designed to provide needed nutrients.
Remy's is one of AW's recommendations. Poultry heart (and any heart) is a rich source of taurine:

Thanks for making your first post about Listen!
And thanks for being such a great pet parent and part of the HA! community.
Yes (as long as you can see the exposed spot)!
Aloe vera gel covered with cayenne pepper is less suppressive and often works better (in my experience).
Hey Lil!
Great question. Her body is expressing its individuality and common but abnormal internal symptoms. Think about it like going to the vet for a bit of daily eye discharge, or frequent anal sac scooting (despite normal bowels and empty anal glands).
Conventional vets don't know what to...
