Ukuphalaza Ezinjeni: Izimbangela Nokwelashwa

Ukuphalaza, isicanucanu, ukuphindaphinda - lokhu kuyinto engaba mnandi ngokushintsha igama.

Nokho, izinkinga ezinjalo zenzeka kaningi nezinja. Kunezizathu eziningi zokuthi kungani isilwane esifuywayo singase sihlanze, futhi ezinye zivame ukukhathazeka kakhulu kunezinye.

Indlela yokuqonda ukuthi i-puddle yokuhlanza eshiywe inja otshanini ayiyona isibonakaliso senkinga enkulu? Yini okufanele uyenze uma inja ihlanza?

Inja iphimisa futhi iphalaze

Kubalulekile ukuqonda umehluko phakathi kokuhlanza nokuqunjelwa. Lapho ukhafula, inqwaba exoshiwe ngokuvamile iqukethe ukudla okungagayeki, amanzi namathe. Ivamise ukuphuma imise okwe-cylindrical, njengoba ukudla okuphindiwe noma ezinye izinto ziphuma ngqo kumminzo. Ngaphandle, kudlula ngaphandle komzamo futhi ngaphandle kokugoqa kwemisipha, futhi ngokuvamile asikho isixwayiso sokuthi kukhona okuzokwenzeka.

Ukuhlanza, ngokuphambene nalokho, kuyinqubo esebenzayo kakhulu. Ngesikhathi sokuhlanza, ukufinyela kwemisipha kanye nokungezwani komzimba wonke kwenzeka. Lapho inja ihlanza, ukudla noma umzimba wangaphandle ngokuvamile uphuma esiswini noma emathunjini amancane angenhla. 

Cishe, umnikazi uzozwa isifiso sokuhlanza futhi abone ukudla okungagayeki noma okugaywe kancane emhlanzweni. Uma ukudla kwenqatshwa esiswini, uketshezi olucacile lungabonakala, futhi uma kusuka emathunjini amancane, i-bile ephuzi noma eluhlaza ingabonakala. Ngaphezu kwalokho, izimpawu ezinjengokuvuza amathe, ukuhamba usuka ekhoneni uye ekhoneni, ukuhhewula, noma imisindo ezwakalayo yokugedla ephuma esiswini senja ingabonisa ukuhlanza okuzayo.

Ukuphalaza enjeni: izimbangela

I-Chagrin Falls Veterinary Center kanye Nomtholampilo ikhomba izimbangela eziyisishiyagalombili ezivame kakhulu:

1. Ukudla udoti, ukudla okunamafutha kanye nemfucuza etafuleni.
2. Ukungenisa amathambo, amabhola enjoloba, amatshe, uvolo, izinti nezinye imizimba yangaphandle.
3. Izimuncagazi zamathumbu ezifana nezikelemu.
4. Ukutheleleka ngegciwane njengesifo, i-parvovirus kanye ne-coronavirus.
5. Izifo ezehlukene, okubalwa kuzo isifo sikashukela, umdlavuza, nezilonda zesisu.
6. Ukungenisa izinto ezinobuthi njengoshevu wamagundane, i-antifreeze, izibulala-zinambuzane, noma imithi yasendlini njenge-aspirin.
7. Ukugula kokunyakaza.
8. Ukucindezeleka, injabulo noma ukukhathazeka.

Uma inja ikhafula, izizathu zingase zibe kanje:

• ukudla ngokweqile;
• ukumuncwa ukudla okusheshayo;
• ukungahlaliseki noma ukujabula ngokweqile;
• ukwanda kwe-esophagus, ngenxa yalokho inqubo evamile yokuhambisa ukudla esiswini iphazamiseka;
• I-Dog Breed: Lesi simo singathinta noma yiluphi uhlobo, kodwa sivame kakhulu e-Shar-Peis, e-German Shepherds, e-Great Danes, e-Irish Setters, e-Labrador Retrievers, e-Miniature Schnauzers, eNewfoundlands nase-Wire-Coated Fox Terriers, amanothi u-Wag!.

Okufanele ukwenze uma inja yakho ihlanza futhi kufanele ukhathazeke nini

Njengoba ukuhlanza ezinjeni kuvamile, abanikazi ngokuvamile abakhathazeki uma izinkinga ezinjalo zenzeka ngezikhathi ezithile ngesilwane esifuywayo. Kodwa kufanele uqale nini ukukhathazeka?

I-North Asheville Veterinary Clinic iphawula ukuthi uma inja ihlanza, kufanele ukhathazeke kulezi zimo ezilandelayo:

• Ukuba khona kwezinye izimpawu. Uma inja yakho ingagcini ngokuhlanza, kodwa ibonisa ukuziphatha okungavamile njengokulala kakhulu, ukwenqaba ukudla, noma isifo sohudo, shayela udokotela wakho wezilwane.
• Imikhondo yegazi. Uma kunegazi emhlanzweni noma ubuhlanzo benja bubukeka njengesisekelo sekhofi noma igazi elomisiwe, kufanele uxhumane nodokotela wakho wezilwane. Igazi lingaba uphawu lwenkinga engathi sína, njengesilonda esiswini noma into ebukhali yangaphandle, njengethambo noma ithoyizi, esiswini senja.
• Ukuphalaza okungapheli. Amacala we-Episodic awasona isizathu sokukhathazeka, kodwa uma inja ihlanza njalo noma ngokweqile, udinga ukwenza i-aphoyintimenti nochwepheshe futhi uthole imbangela.

Nganoma yimiphi imibuzo ehlobene nokuthi inja ibhodla kanjani, kufanele uxhumane nodokotela wakho wezilwane.

Uzokwenzenjani udokotela wezilwane

Udokotela wezilwane uzofuna ukuthola ukuthi yini ngempela ebangele lesi simo esilwaneni nokuthi siyithinta kanjani inhlalakahle yaso. Kokubili ukukhafula nokuhlanza, udokotela wakho wezilwane uzoqale ahlole imizimba yangaphandle njengesokisi, ithambo, noma enye into yangaphandle enamathele emphinjeni wenja yakho noma emgudwini wokugaya ukudla.

Uma uchwepheshe enquma ukuthi inkinga ivame ukuphindeka noma ngokuzumayo, kubhala u-Wag!, uzobheka izinkinga ezihlobene nomgudu noma isisu. Angase futhi afune ukukhipha izimbangela ezinjengoshevu wengozi, umdlavuza, ukuqunjelwa kwesisu, noma ukunwebeka kommizo.

I-American Kennel Club ikholelwa ukuthi uma ukuhlanza kwenzeka ngesizathu esingaziwa, khona-ke into yokuqala okufanele uyenze ukuhlola isilwane ngezifo kanye nokuphelelwa amandla kwamanzi. Udokotela wezilwane uzohlola isisu senja kanye nethumbu elincane futhi akhiphe izinkinga zezokwelapha ezifana nokuhluleka kwezinso, isifo sikashukela, isifo sesibindi, kanye ne-pancreatitis.

Ukuphalaza enjeni: ukwelashwa

Udokotela wezilwane uzonquma imbangela yokuhlanza inja, futhi uma isilwane sinokunakekelwa okwanele ekhaya, kuzodingeka uphathe izimpawu ekhaya. I-University of Washington College of Veterinary Medicine yenza lezi zincomo ezilandelayo:

• Ungayiphakeli inja amahora ambalwa, ngemva kokubonisana nodokotela wezilwane mayelana nesikhathi esiqondile. Kubalulekile ukukhumbula ukuthi izinja ezinezimo ezithile zezokwelapha akufanele zinqatshelwe ukuphuza, ngakho-ke kunconywa ukuthi uqale uthintane nodokotela wakho wezilwane. Ngokuhlanza okungapheli, ukuphelelwa amanzi emzimbeni kungaba yinto ekhathazayo ngempela, ngakho ukuphuza uketshezi kubaluleke kakhulu.
• Uma ukuhlanza sekuphelile, phakela inja yakho ukudla okuthambile, okunamafutha amancane izinsuku ezimbalwa. Ukudla kufanele kunikezwe ngezingxenye ezincane izikhathi ezintathu kuya kweziyisithupha ngosuku. Khulisa kancane kancane osayizi bezingxenye futhi unciphise inani lokuphakelwa njengoba inja yakho ishintshela ekudleni okuvamile. Uma udokotela wezilwane eye weluleka ukuthi angaphuzi inja, ekupheleni kwesikhathi ngaphandle kokuphuza, amanzi angeniswa kancane kancane ezingxenyeni ezincane.
• Uma inja yakho ihlanza ngoba idla ngokushesha kakhulu, i-puzzle feeder ingaba yisixazululo esisodwa. Lo mshini uzophoqa inja ukuba idle kancane, njengoba kuyodingeka isebenze kanzima ukuze ithole ukudla.
• Ungakwazi ukushintshela inja yakho ekudleni kwekhwalithi ephezulu, okufana ne-Hill's Science Plan Sensitive Stomach & Skin, okuhlukaniswa njengokugayeka kalula, ukulinganisela, nokunomsoco. Ukushintshela ekudleni okusha kufanele kube kancane, futhi hhayi ngosuku olulodwa, ngaphandle kwalokho ungakwazi ukukhulisa inkinga kuphela.

Inja ehlanzile ayiguli noma idinga ukunakwa ngokushesha kwezilwane. Kodwa uma enezimpawu ezibangela ukukhathazeka okukhulu, kungcono ukubiza udokotela wezilwane. Uzothola ukuthi inkinga ikuphi bese enikeza isixazululo. Ngemuva kwalokho, kuzokwazi ukushaywa, ukunwaya nokugona isilwane sakho osithandayo futhi esikhundleni sokuhlanza ukhaphethi ekuhlanzeni.
