Ukulungiswa okuhlanzekile kwamakati: ingabe isilwane esifuywayo sidinga ukulungiswa kochwepheshe?

Lobu buhle obuyi-fluffy buyathandeka kakhulu ezindabeni zokuhlanzeka komuntu siqu, kodwa abakwazi njalo ukubhekana kahle ngokunakekela. Ngakho-ke, abanye abanikazi bayazibuza ukuthi badinga ukulungiswa kwamakati.

Ngaphambi kokubhalisela inqubo, ake sithole ukuthi kuyini ukuzilungisa.

Ukulungiswa kwamakati: izinzuzo zokuzilungisa

Nakuba amakati esebenza kahle kakhulu ekuzilungiseni, ekwazi ukugcina amajazi awo ecwebezela futhi isikhumba sawo sinempilo, awakwazi nje ukuya ezindaweni ezithile. Yingakho ukuxubha okuvamile kubaluleke kakhulu.

Ukulungisa ijazi lekati lakho kusiza ukugcina impilo kanye nokuphila kahle kwalo. "Ukuxubha okukodwa kuya kokubili ngesonto kuzosiza ukugcina ukukhanya okunempilo," kuchaza i-ASPCA. “Uzokuqonda ukubaluleka kokuxubha njalo lapho ikati liqala ukuguga futhi lingasakwazi ukuzinakekela ngokucophelela.”

Ukuxubha i-undercoat yamakati nakho kuyasiza:

• susa izinwele ezifile;
• ukunciphisa ukuhlangana koboya;
• ukunciphisa amathuba okwakhiwa kwezinwele zezinwele esiswini;
• khipha ukungcola eboyeni.

Ngokusho kwabeGreencross Vets, ukuzilungisa kusiza ukukhomba izindawo ezicasulayo esikhumbeni, kanye nanoma yiziphi izigaxa namaqhubu acashe ngaphansi kwejazi.

Ukulungisa Ikati: Nini Yokubiza Umkhwenyana

Esinye sezimbangela ezivame kakhulu uboya obunamathele ekati. Abanye abanikazi baphendukela osizweni lochwepheshe uma isilwane esifuywayo sinentukuthelo esheshayo noma bengenaso isiqiniseko sokuthi bangakwazi ukusingatha ukunakekelwa ngokwabo.

Uboya obunamathele kakhulu ekatini: okufanele ukwenze

Amakati anezinwele ezimfushane kufanele alungiswe okungenani kanye ngesonto, namakati anezinwele ezinde okungenani kanye noma kabili ngosuku. Ukusebenzisa amathuluzi namasu afanele ukulungisa ikati lakho kwenza ukuxubha kube lula kakhulu. Nokho, kunezikhathi lapho abanikazi bengakwazi ukubhekana nalo msebenzi.

Uma ikati lakho linezinwele eziphothiwe emhlane walo, imfucumfucu ehlukahlukene ingabhajwa kuyo, njengama-litter pellets asuka ethreyini, sekuyisikhathi sokuyiyisa kuchwepheshe. Ingemuva liyindawo ekhohlisayo ukuyiqaqa. Ngokunokwenzeka, isilwane ngeke sijabule ngemizamo yakho yokuqaqa izinwele kule ndawo. Ungagundi izinwele zekati ngesikelo. Kunengozi yokulimaza isikhumba esincane kakhulu sesilwane. Ezimweni ezimbi kakhulu, kungase kudingeke ukushefa esikhundleni sokukama. Uma ijazi linamathele kakhulu kangangokuthi ikati linama-tangles angakwazi ukukanywa ngebhulashi noma ikamu, yisikhathi sokusebenzisa izinkonzo zomkhandi ochwepheshe.

Ikati elingaphumuli noma elinovalo

Akuwona wonke amakati athanda ukuthintwa, ngakho ukuwanakekela akuwona umsebenzi olula ngaso sonke isikhathi. Nokho, abalungiseleli abangochwepheshe baqeqeshelwe ukuthulisa izilwane ezifuywayo kule nqubo.

Ukubeka nje ikati kusithwali kungabangela ukucindezeleka kuye, ngakho ungabiza uchwepheshe ekhaya. Izinkampani eziningi kanye nabantu ngabanye bahlinzeka ngezinsizakalo zokulungisa amaselula. Ngakho-ke amakati angajabulela “ukwelashwa kwe-spa” endaweni enethezeke kakhulu kubo. Ngaphambi kokubiza, kufanele ufunde izincomo bese ukhetha uchwepheshe onokwethenjelwa.

Kunezindlela zokwenza kube lula ukuthi ikati linakekele ikati ekhaya. I-American Association of Feline Practitioners (AAFP) itusa ukuzilungisa lapho iseyingane. "Linda kuze kube yilapho ikati lisesimweni esihle," kusho i-AAFP, yengeza ngokuthi "amaseshini amafushane wokuzilungisa angcono kunengajwayelekile futhi amade."

Ngokuhamba kwesikhathi, ungakwazi ukwakha uhlobo olufanele lokuzilungisa, futhi imivuzo emincane ngemva kokuxubha izosiza ukuthuthukisa imikhuba emihle kuye.

Kuhlanganisani ukuzilungisa okuphrofeshinali?

Ukwelashwa kuhlanganisa ukuxubha noma ukukama, ukugeza, ukugunda izinzipho nokuhlanza amehlo nezindlebe. I-Best Friends Animal Society incoma ukuthatha ikilasi nomkhulisi ochwepheshile ukuze ufunde amakhono ayisisekelo okunakekela izilwane ezifuywayo: izikhathi zokuzilungisa.

Kufanele uhambise kangaki ikati lakho kumlungiseleli oqeqeshiwe? Ngokuxubha nokuzilungisa njalo ekhaya, ikati cishe liyodinga ukubona umkhandi izikhathi ezine kuphela ngonyaka—cishe kanye ngesizini. Futhi ngezinsizakalo ezifana nokunquma izinzipho, i-ASPCA incoma ukubona umkhwenyana njalo ezinsukwini eziyi-10-14.
