Izinkinga ezivamile kanye nezifo zezinhlobo zezinja ezincane

Lapho ucabangela ukwamukela isilwane esifuywayo sohlobo oluncane, akufanele nje ukhethe amathoyizi angcono kakhulu ezinja ezincane, kodwa futhi ufunde ngezinkinga zempilo ezivamile ezivamile ezinjeni ezincane. Umnikazi okhathalelayo kufanele alungiselele hhayi kuphela izikhathi ezijabulisayo nezijabulisayo, kubalulekile ngokufanayo ukwazi ukuthi yini ongayilindela uma kukhona okungahambi kahle.

Iqiniso lokuthi ezinye izinkinga zempilo zivamile ezinjeni ezincane akusho ukuthi zizobathuthukisa ngempela. Ochwepheshe bahlonza izinkinga ezinhlanu izinja ezincane ezingabhekana nazo.

1. Ukuwa koqhoqhoqho

Izifo ze-trachea ezinjeni zezinhlobo ezincane, kanye nezinkinga zokuphefumula, zivame kakhulu. Zivame kakhulu phakathi kwama-brachycephals - ama-bulldogs aseFrance nama-pugs ane-muzzle encane eyisicaba. I-American College of Veterinary Surgeons (ACVS) ithi “ukuwa koqhoqhoqho kuyisifo esingelapheki, esiqhubekayo, esingenakulungiseka soqhoqhoqho noma umbhobho kanye nomgudu wokuphefumula ophansi.” Kuvame kakhulu ezinjeni ezikhuluphele noma emidlwaneni ehlala endlini enabantu ababhemayo.

Ezimweni eziningi, ukugoqeka koqhoqhoqho kutholakala ezinjeni ezineminyaka ephakathi nezindala, kodwa ngezinye izikhathi izinkinga zokuphefumula zingenzeka ezinjeni ezisencane.

Izimpawu zalesi sifo zihlanganisa ukuhefuzela, ukuphefumula kanzima, ukuquleka, nokukhwehlela kanzima. Ukuncipha kwesisindo, imithi, ngisho nokulalisa umzimba kungasiza isilwane esifuywayo esinenkinga yokuphefumula ngenxa yezinkinga zoqhoqhoqho. Akunakwenzeka ukuvimbela ukuthuthukiswa kokuwa kwe-tracheal enja. Uma inkinga efanayo yenzeka esilwaneni esifuywayo kanye, cishe uzodinga ukuqapha njalo kamuva.

2. Ukususwa kwe-patella

Izinja eziningi ezincane zinezinkinga zamadolo. I-ACVS ibika ukuthi i-patella ekhazimulayo noma exoshiwe iyinkinga evamile yamathambo ezinjeni ezincane futhi itholakala ku-7% emidlwane. Ama-poodle amancane, ama-chihuahuas, ama-Boston kanye ne-Yorkshire terriers nama-Pomeranians asengozini enkulu kulokhu.

I-patella ingase isuke kancane endaweni yayo noma, ezimweni ezimbi kakhulu, iphume ngokuphelele. Kulesi simo, kunzima kusilwane esifuywayo, futhi ngezinye izikhathi akunakwenzeka ukudlulisa isisindo ku-paw ehambisanayo. Ezinye izinja ezincane ziba nale nkinga ngezikhathi ezithile. Ukwelashwa kungase kudinge ukuvakashela udokotela wezilwane kanye nemithi kadokotela ukuze kudambise ukungakhululeki kuze kube yilapho i-kneecap isisendaweni. Ezimweni ezimbi kakhulu, okuwukuphela kwendlela yokukhulula ubuhlungu obuhlobene nokuhlukaniswa ukuhlinzwa.

Kudingekile ukugcina ukubonakaliswa kwezibonakaliso ezilandelayo: uma inja ihamba ngemilenze emithathu noma ingagobi omunye wemilenze lapho ihamba. Izinkinga zokuhlukaniswa zingase zenzeke kaningi ezinjeni ezincane, kodwa ezimeni lapho kuhlinzwa khona, izinja eziningi ngokuvamile zilulama ngokushesha futhi ngaphandle kokuphinda kwenzeke esikhathini esizayo.

3. Ukuntuleka kwe-valve ye-mitral

Enye yezinkinga ezinkulu zezempilo yisifo senhliziyo ezinjeni zohlobo oluncane. Ngokwe-American Kennel Club Canine Health Foundation (AKCCHF), ukuntuleka kwe-mitral valve enhliziyweni kuyakhula njengoba inhliziyo iguga. I-valve egugile ayikwazi ukuvuleka nokuvala kahle, futhi ngenxa yalokho, elinye igazi lingavuza libuyele e-atrium yangakwesobunxele, elinye lamagumbi amane enhliziyo. Lesi simo sikhula ngokukhula, ngakho akufanele ukhathazeke ngempilo yomdlwane.

I-AKCCHF ichaza ukuthi izinja eziningi ezinalesi simo azibonisi zimpawu, kodwa njengoba izinkinga ze-mitral valve zinqwabelana, ziba sengozini yokwehluleka kwenhliziyo. Izimpawu zayo zihlanganisa ukuphefumula kanzima, ukuphefumula ngokushesha, ukungakuthandi ukudla, ukungabekezeleli ukuzivocavoca umzimba, ukukhathala, nokuwa.

Azikho izindlela zokuvimbela ezingasiza ukugwema lesi sifo. Kodwa-ke, ukugqoka kwe-mitral valve kukodwa akusho ukuthi inja encane izoba nokuhluleka kwenhliziyo ehlangene. Ukulandelela njalo nodokotela wezilwane kuzosiza abanikazi baqonde ukuthi inja yabo encane inesifo senhliziyo sesikhathi eside.

4. Izinkinga ngesikhathi sokubeletha

Ngaphambi kokuhlanganisa inja encane, kufanele uthintane nodokotela wezilwane. Ama-pelvis amancane ezilwane ezincane, ikakhulukazi ama-pugs, ama-Boston terriers nama-toy poodles, akwenza kube nzima ukuba nemidlwane, ngokusho kwe-Blackwell's Five-Minute Veterinary Consult. 

Labo abahlela ukuthena ngokushesha noma ukuvala inzalo isilwane esisha ngeke kudingeke bakhathazeke ngezinkinga ezinjalo. Nokho, abanikazi abacabangela ukuzala kufanele baxoxe ngokuhlinzwa ngokuhlinzwa nochwepheshe ukuze bavimbele inja ukuba izalwe ngokwemvelo. Azikho izimpawu ezingaba khona zokuthi inja ingase ibe nenkinga yokuzala, kodwa ukuhlela kusengaphambili kungasiza ekugwemeni izinkinga ezinkulu.

Ngaphandle kokuhlinzwa okuhleliwe, kuncane okungenziwa ukuvimbela izinkinga ngesikhathi sokubeletha. Kodwa kulabo abasabala ukubeletha ngokwemvelo, udinga ukugcina ucingo oluphuthumayo eduze ukuze uthole ukuxhumana okuphuthumayo nodokotela wezilwane. Uma isilwane esifuywayo siyeka ukuzala noma sinezinkinga, ukungenelela kukadokotela wezilwane kuyodingeka ukuze kusindiswe impilo yenja nenzalo yayo.

5. I-Thermoregulation

Uma kuqhathaniswa nezinhlobo ezinkulu, izinja ezincane zivame ukuba nenkinga yokugcina nokulawula izinga lokushisa lomzimba. Ngezinye izikhathi isilwane esifuywayo sizizwa sibanda lapho sisithinta ngisho nasezimweni ezifudumele.

“Izinhlobo ezincane, izinja ezinezinwele ezimfishane, imidlwane nezinja ezindala, izinja ezifuywayo kuphela, nezinja ezinenhliziyo noma ezinye izimo zizwela kakhulu emazingeni okushisa aphansi,” kusho i-VRCC Specialized Veterinary Clinic and Emergency Hospital. Lokhu kusho ukuthi bathambekele kakhulu ku-hypothermia noma ngisho nokushisa ngokweqile. Izindaba ezinhle ukuthi kunezinyathelo ezimbalwa ezilula ezingavimbela noma yiziphi izinkinga ezinkulu ezihlobene nokungalingani kwe-homeostasis.

Uma inja ingakubekezeleli kahle amakhaza, ungayigqokisa ama-sweaters namajakhethi ukuvimbela ukushisa kwangaphakathi ekuweni. Izilwane ezifuywayo ezisengozini yokushisa ngokweqile zingazuza ngokuhlala endlini noma ezindaweni ezipholile, ezinomthunzi. Ukuphuza uketshezi olwanele nakho kubalulekile ukugcina izinga lokushisa lomzimba elinempilo. Udokotela wezilwane kufanele athintwe uma i-thermoregulation yenja iba inkinga eqhubekayo okunzima ukuyilawula.

Ukwazi ngezinkinga zezinja ezincane zohlobo, ungalungiselela izimo ezingalindelekile. Kubalulekile ukukhumbula ukuthi ubukhulu benja buyenza ithambekele ezinkingeni ezithile zempilo, kodwa akusho ukuthi izobathuthukisa. Ukuqonda izimpawu zezifo ezinjeni ezincane zohlobo kuzokusiza ukuthi uqale ukuziqeda ngokushesha.
