Imiphi imigomo edingwa amazinyane ekati futhi anikezwa eminyakeni emingaki?

Abanikazi bekati kufanele badlule ezinyathelweni eziningi ezibalulekile: ukubonakala kokuqala endlini, ukujwayela ithreyi, ukwazi ezinye izilwane ezifuywayo nabanye abaningi. Ukuthatha indima entsha njengomnikazi womngane onoboya, udinga ukuqonda ukuthi kuhlanganisa imithwalo yemfanelo eminingi emisha.

Ochwepheshe bakwa-Hill bahlanganise uhlu lwemigomo ebalulekile etuswa odokotela bezilwane kumakati futhi bachaza ukuthi kungani ibalulekile kulungu lomndeni elisha elinoboya. Ngaphambi kokubonisana nodokotela wezilwane, ungayifunda, bese uthuthukisa isimiso esifanele.

Uma ikati ligonywa

Unikezwa nini ukugoma kokuqala? Ikhono lekati lokumelana nezifo liqala kumakati anempilo. Ngokusho kwe-American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (ASPCA), izingane zithola amasosha omzimba ukulwa nezifo obisini lukanina. Ezimweni eziningi, ama-kittens alunyulwa phakathi nesonto lesi-8, futhi imigomo yokuqala inikezwa lapho eneminyaka engu-6 kuya ku-8 wamasonto, okungukuthi, cishe ezinyangeni ezimbili. Ikati libe selinikezwa ama-booster njalo ngemva kwamasonto amathathu kuya kwamane lize lifinyelele emasontweni ayi-2 ubudala noma kuze kuqedwe uchungechunge olugcwele lokugoma.

Uma isilwane sakho esifuywayo singaphezu kwamasonto angu-16 ubudala, udokotela wakho wezilwane angasiza ekunqumeni ukuthi, yimiphi imigomo edingekayo, nokuthi imiphi iminyaka yobudala.

Imithi yokugoma enganikwa izinyane lekati kuze kube unyaka

• I-Bordetelliosis, okuvame ukubizwa ngokuthi ukukhwehlela ezinjeni ezinjeni, yisifo esithathelwana kakhulu odokotela bezilwane abaningi abatusa ukuthi sigonywe. Ingasakazwa ngokuthimula nokukhwehlela, ikakhulukazi emindenini enezilwane ezifuywayo eziningi. Kubalulekile ukukhumbula ukuthi i-kitten ingangenwa yiyo ngisho nangaphambi kokuvela endlini, ikakhulukazi uma ikhule namanye amakati noma amakati amadala. Ngaphansi kwezimo akufanele ikati ligonyelwe izinja.

• I-Calicivirus yezilwane - esinye sezifo ezivame kakhulu zokuphefumula, lapho ama-kittens amancane kakhulu athinteka khona kakhulu. Izimpawu eziyinhloko zihlanganisa ukuvuvukala kobuso namalunga, ukuqothuka kwezinwele, nokuvela kotwayi noma izilonda esikhumbeni. I-Feline calicivirus ingaphinda itheleleke nezitho zangaphakathi ezifana namaphaphu, amanyikwe, nesibindi. Umuthi wokugomela lesi sifo uthathwa njengeminye yemigomo eyisibopho yamakati, ngakho udokotela wezilwane cishe uzoyincoma ukuvikela isilwane. 

• I-leukemia yezilwane, ngokwe-ASPCA, “ngesinye sezifo ezitholakala kakhulu… emakati afuywayo.” Ngisho noma umnikazi engahleleli ukugoma i-kitten ngokumelene ne-leukemia, kuyadingeka ukuxoxa nodokotela ngokuhlolwa kwesilwane esifuywayo ukuze kube khona lesi sifo ngaphambi kokusiletha ekhaya. I-leukemia ivame ukukhula emakatini ngaphandle kwezimpawu zangaphandle. Lokhu kusho ukuthi izinyane lekati lingangenwa yilo futhi lilethwe endlini ngaphandle kolwazi lomnikazi. Ngokwe-ASPCA, i-feline leukemia yenza amasosha omzimba abe buthakathaka futhi yenza ikati lihlaselwe izifo eziningi, kuhlanganise ne-anemia, isifo sezinso ne-lymphosarcoma.

• Uhlobo 1 lwe-herpesvirus yezilwane kubangela i-conjunctivitis kanye nezinkinga eziphezulu zokuphefumula emakati. Umuthi wokugomela lesi sifo ufakwe ohlwini lwempoqo. I-Herpesvirus, ebizwa nangokuthi i-viral rhinotracheitis, ingathinta amakati abo bonke ubudala. Kodwa-ke, njenganoma iyiphi i-herpesvirus, i-specific-specific, ngakho-ke izinhlobonhlobo ze-feline aziyona ingozi kubanikazi noma kwezinye izilwane ezifuywayo, kuhlanganise nezinja, izinyoni nezinhlanzi.

• I-Chlamydia, elidluliselwa lisuka ekatini liye kwelinye ngokuthintana eduze. Ngokungafani nezinye izifo zokuphefumula kwe-feline, i-chlamydia ngokuvamile ayibulali. Ivamise ukuvela ngamehlo abomvu, avuvukele, noma anamanzi futhi ingase idinge ukwelashwa ngama-antibiotic, ngokusho kwe-European Advisory Board for Diseases of the Cat. Umuthi wokugomela i-chlamydia awudingeki, kodwa udokotela wakho wezilwane angase awuncome.

• I-panleukopenia, ebizwa nangokuthi i-cat distemper. I-Feline distemper itheleleka kakhulu emakatini futhi ezimweni eziningi iyabulala. Ivamise ukudlulela ekatini elingalashwanga iye emazinyaneni akhe. Leli gciwane lihlasela amangqamuzana egazi amhlophe namangqamuzana olwelwesi lwamathumbu futhi liyimbangela evamile “yekati efiphalayo” syndrome. Izilwane ezifuywayo ze-Spruce zichaza ukuthi izimpawu ze-syndrome ebunayo emazinyaneni amancane kakhulu zingabandakanya ukuntuleka kokuncelisa kanye nezinga lokushisa eliphansi lomzimba. Umuthi wokugoma i-Distemper uthathwa njengokunconyiwe.

• Amarabi. Ngokusho kweCenters for Disease Control and Prevention, igciwane lamarabi lisakazwa ngamathe esilwane esigulayo futhi lingangena kuzo zonke izilwane ezincelisayo, kusukela ezinjeni namakati kuya kumalulwane nezimpungushe. Amarabi angahloliwe ayingozi kakhulu kubantu. Amakati asemathubeni amaningi okuthi angenwa amarabi unyaka ngamunye kunezinja futhi angawadlulisela kwezinye izilwane noma abantu uma enalesi sifo. Ngakho-ke, kwamanye amadolobha, lapho kubhaliswa amakati emahhotela ezilwane ezifuywayo noma ezibhedlela emitholampilo yezilwane, abanikazi bangase badingeke ukuthi baqinisekise ukugonywa kwamarabi.

Iseluleko sikadokotela wezilwane

Ukunquma ukuthi yimiphi imigomo elungele isilwane sakho kungaba yinto ekhohlisayo, ngakho kufanele uhlale uthintana nochwepheshe. Udokotela wezilwane uzobuza imibuzo mayelana nendlela yokuphila yekati kanye nemvelo yalo entsha endlini. Ngokuvamile, le mibuzo ihlanganisa okulandelayo:

• Livelaphi ikati? Kusuka endaweni yokukhosela, esitolo sezilwane, noma kutholakale emgwaqweni?

• Ingabe izinyane lekati laligcinwa nezinye izilwane ngaphambi kokuba lithathwe? Uma kunjalo, ngaziphi?

• Yiziphi ezinye izilwane ezikhona ekhaya?

• Ingabe umnikazi uhlela ukuhamba nekati noma mhlawumbe alishiye emahhotela ezifuywayo lapho ehamba?

Noma yimiphi imibuzo kufanele iphendulwe ngokwethembeka. Ulwazi olwengeziwe udokotela wezilwane alwaziyo, kuzoba lula kubo ukunquma ukuthi yimiphi imigomo abazoyinikeza ilungu lomndeni elisha elinoboya.
