Kungani izinja zichamela yonke into?

Wake wahlahlela amehlo umkhuba wenja yakho wokuchamela wonke amatshe nesihlahla ngenkathi uhamba? Mhlawumbe lokhu kuyakucasula noma kukuphoxe, ikakhulukazi uma amaka okuthile okungafanelekile. Ingabe kukhona ongakwenza ukuze ube nomthelela kulokhu kuziphatha, okubizwa ngokuthi “ukumaka indawo”?

Kungani inja imaka?

Uma inja imaka indawo yayo ngomchamo omncane, cishe isuke iyindlela nje yokubingelela izihlobo zayo okungenzeka ziseduze. Lena indlela evamile yokuxhumana engokwemvelo yalolu hlobo lwezilwane - bebelokhu bekwenza lokhu kusukela kudala, lapho abantu beqala ukulandelela ukuziphatha kwabo. Ngaphezu kwesifiso sokukhuluma, kunezinye izizathu eziningana zokuthi kungani bemaka.

• Inja ayikaphekwa. Amaduna angazange akhishwe i-neutered maningi amathuba okuthi aphawule indawo yawo kunezinja ezingenawo ama-neutered. Ngokokunye ukuhlola okwanyatheliswa kumagazini i-Animal Behavior, “izinja ezisesimweni esihle” ziphawula indawo yazo kaningi kunezinja ezinesimo esiphansi. Ngakho mhlawumbe intandokazi yakho inkosi yasegqumeni! Nakuba le nkinga ivame kakhulu kwabesilisa, abesifazane abangashadile nabo ngezinye izikhathi baphawula indawo yabo, ikakhulukazi ngaphambi noma phakathi ne-estrus.
• Inja ijabule ngokweqile. Izimo ezintsha nezijabulisayo zomphakathi zingenza isilwane sakho sifune ukumaka yonke into emkhakheni wabo wombono. Izizathu zokumaka ngokweqile zibandakanya nokuba seduze nenja lapho kushisa, noma ngisho nokuvakashela ikhaya noma ipaki lapho ezinye izilwane zike zamaka khona ngaphambili.
• “Ukhona obelapha.” Inja ayikwazi ukucabangela indawo yayo hhayi kuphela indlu negceke layo, kodwa nendlela ehamba ngayo, kanye nezinye izindlu noma amapaki lapho evame ukwenzeka khona. Uma enye inja isanda kuvakashela “indawo” yesilwane sakho esifuywayo, ingase izwe isidingo sokumaka leyo ndawo ukuze iziqinisekise.
• Inja inezinkinga zempilo. Ungase ucabange ukuthi isilwane sakho siphawula indawo, kodwa imbangela yokwanda kokuchama ingase ibe ngenxa yezizathu zezokwelapha. Izimo ezingabangela ukuchama njalo ezinjeni zihlanganisa ukungakwazi ukuzithiba komchamo, izifo zomgudu womchamo, kanye nokusabela kwezidakamizwa. Kufanele uye kudokotela wezilwane ukuze akhiphe lezi zinkinga ngaphambi kokuzama ukusikhipha isilwane ekumaka.

Kubalulekile futhi ukuqaphela ukuthi ezinye izinja zichama njalo ngenxa yezizathu ezingahlobene nokumaka, okuhlanganisa izimo ezifana "nokulalela ukuchama" nokukhathazeka ngokuhlukana. Noma kungukuqeqeshwa kwasekhaya okungafundile. Ukuqonda izimbangela zokuziphatha kwenja kuyisinyathelo esibalulekile sokubhekana nezinkinga ezihlobene.

Ingabe lokhu kungamiswa?

Ngisho noma umkhuba wenja wokumaka indawo kuwukuziphatha okungokwemvelo okuzuzwe okhokho babo, ezweni lanamuhla ungase ucasuke noma ube namahloni ngomkhuba onjalo. Ungakwazi yini ukukhipha isilwane kulo mkhuba, noma okungenani unciphise isifiso sakhe sokumaka? I-UC Davis School of Veterinary Medicine inikeza izincomo ezimbalwa.

• Nquma ukuthi kungani inja yakho imaka. Isibonelo, uma wazi ukuthi uhlose ngaso sonke isikhathi lapho ejabule kakhulu, lokhu kuzokusiza ukuba ugweme izimo zokukhathazeka ngangokunokwenzeka. Uma ugwema izici ezithonya isifiso senja sokumaka, kuzoba lula kuwe ukugwema lezi zimo.
• Ukucindezelwa kwezimpande. Uma ushiya umdlwane wakho isikhathi eside ukuze uhlaselwe noma uhlanjululwe, kuzoba nzima nakakhulu kuwe ukuwukhipha emkhubeni wokumaka esikhathini esizayo. Ukukhipha inja, ikakhulukazi njengomdlwane, cishe kuzosiza ekunciphiseni umkhuba wokumaka - futhi kungase kuvimbele.
• Spay noma ukhiphe zonke ezinye izilwane endlini. Uma izinguquko zamahomoni zenzeka emzimbeni wenye inja, ikakhulukazi eyesifazane, ngisho neduna elingenayo i-neutered lingasabela kulokhu futhi liqale ukumaka njalo.
• Thola ngohlelo. Nquma izindawo ezingaphandle kwekhaya noma endleleni yakho yokuhamba lapho inja izovunyelwa ukumaka khona. Mqeqeshe ukuthi abone lezi zindawo ngokumklomelisa uma ezimaka. Ukuqeqeshwa kwe-leash nakho kunganciphisa ukumaka. Ukugcina isilwane entanjeni emfushane evimbela ukuthi singagijimi ngapha nangapha, sigijimele kuzo zonke izihlahla kanye nokuthunyelwe okubonakalayo, kungasiza ekunciphiseni isifiso saso sokumaka.

Ukugwema imikhuba emibi kubaluleke njengokugcina emihle. Uma uthethisa inja yakho noma uyijezise ngenkathi imaka, izofihla ukuziphatha, okwenza kube nzima nakakhulu ukuyimisa. Kumele ukhumbule ukuthi umkhuba wokumaka uwukuziphatha okungokwemvelo kwesilwane sakho, futhi nakuba zikhona izindlela zokuwunciphisa, kufanele ukhumbule ukuthi iningi labanikazi bezinja bayahlangabezana nakho. Uma ufuna inja yakho inyathele kancane, vele ube nesineke kuyo, yiqeqeshe kahle, futhi izoqala ukukuvuza ngokuhamba okujabulisayo.
