Kungani inja idla umhlaba

Izinja zivame ukudla konke, kodwa uma inja iqala ukudla umhlaba, khona-ke umnikazi angase akhathazeke. Nokho, phakathi kwabangane abanemilenze emine lokhu kuyinto evamile. Lapho izinja zidla ukungcola, utshani, amatshe, izinti, udoti, nezinye izinto ezingadliwa, zingatholakala ukuthi zinesifo esibi sokudla esibizwa ngokuthi “picacism” (ngesiLatin elithi pica, amashumi amane). Uma inja idla umhlaba kuphela kokungadli, khona-ke, njengo-Wag! kubhala, lokhu kungase kube uphawu lwesimo esibizwa ngokuthi i-geophagy. Kuyini - umkhuba ongavamile noma imbangela yokukhathazeka?

Izizathu zokuthi kungani izinja zidla umhlabathi

Isifiso sokuhlafuna emhlabeni singabangelwa isithukuthezi noma ingcindezi, noma mhlawumbe inja ivele yezwa into emnandi exutshwe nomhlaba. Kodwa ukudla ukungcola kungase futhi kubonise inkinga engathi sína yempilo noma yokudla okunempilo, kusho i-American Kennel Club (AKC). I-Compulsive geophagia ingaba uphawu lwezinkinga ezilandelayo:

I-anemia

I-anemia ezinjeni yisimo esibonakala ngamazinga aphansi e-hemoglobin egazini. Ngokuka-CertaPet, i-anemia ingabangelwa ukudla okungenakulinganisela. Inja ene-anemia ingase ibe nesifiso esingokwemvelo sokudla umhlaba ngomzamo wokunxephezela ukuntuleka kwezakhi ezibangela lesi simo. Okuwukuphela kwendlela yokuxilonga ngokuthembekile i-anemia ngokuhlolwa kwegazi.

Ukungalingani kokudla okunomsoco noma ukuntuleka kwamaminerali

Ngisho nangaphandle kwe-anemia, ukungalingani kokudla okunempilo kuphela enja kungaholela ku-geophagy. Futhi lokhu kungase kubonise ukuthi akawatholi amaminerali adingekayo empilweni. Angase abe nezinkinga zamahomoni ezivimbela ukumuncwa kwamaminerali nezakhamzimba ekudleni. Ukungalingani kokudla okunempilo ezilwaneni ezinempilo akuvamile kakhulu, ngakho qiniseka ukuthi ukhuluma nodokotela wakho wezilwane mayelana nokukhetha ukudla okungcono kakhulu kwesilwane sakho.

Izinkinga zesisu noma ukuphazamiseka kwamathumbu

Izinja zingadla umhlaba ukuze zithobe isisu esibuhlungu noma isisu esikhalayo. Uma inja inezinkinga zesisu, maningi amathuba okuthi idle utshani, ngokusho kwe-AKC. Kungenzeka ukuthi ukudla utshani ngenkuthalo kungaholela ekutheni kungene inhlabathi encane emlonyeni.

Izingozi Ezihambisana Nokudla Izinja

Uma inja idla umhlaba, kufanele umnqabele ngokushesha ukwenza lokhu, ngoba ukuziphatha okunjalo kungaba yingozi empilweni yakhe. Nazi izingozi ezimbalwa ezihlobene ne-geophagy ezinjeni, ngokusho kwe-AKC:

• Isifo samathumbu esingase sidinge ukuhlinzwa.
• Ukungenisa izibulala-zinambuzane nezinye izinto ezinobuthi.
• Ukuphefumula.
• Ukulimala kwamazinyo, umphimbo, umgudu wokugaya ukudla, noma isisu ngenxa yokungenwa amatshe noma amagatsha.
• Ukungenisa izimuncagazi zomhlabathi.

Nini Ukushayela Udokotela Wezilwane

Kungani inja idla umhlaba? Uma ikwenza ngenxa yengcindezi noma isithukuthezi, ungathuki, kodwa yeka ukuziphatha ngokushesha. Nokho, uma inja idla umhlabathi notshani njalo noma iziphatha ngendlela ehlukile kunokuvamile ngemva kwalokho, kufanele uxhumane nodokotela wakho wezilwane. Uzohlola inja noma yiziphi izinkinga zempilo okungenzeka zivuse izenzo ezinjalo. Udokotela uzohlola ukuthi isilwane asinazo yini izifo ezingabangelwa ukudla umhlaba.

Ungayivikela kanjani inja yakho ku-geophagy

Uma imbangela ye-geophagy enja iyinkinga yezempilo noma ukungalingani kokudla okunomsoco, ukwelapha isimo esiyisisekelo noma ukujwayelekile ukudla kufanele kusize. Kodwa uma inja isiqalile ukudla ukungcola futhi sekuwumkhuba, ungazama amasu alandelayo::

• Phakamisa inja yakho noma nini lapho iqala ukudla ukungcola. Ungakwenza lokhu ngomyalo womlomo noma umsindo omkhulu, noma umnikeze ukuthi ahlafune ithoyizi.
• Gcina inja yakho ibambelele entanjeni njalo lapho uhamba ukuze uyiholele kude nendawo evulekile.
• Susa izitshalo zasendlini ezinamanzi noma uzibeke kahle lapho ingane yakho ingakwazi ukufinyelela kuzo.
• Susa izitshalo zasendlini ezimbizeni endlini noma uzibeke endaweni lapho isilwane esifuywayo singakwazi ukufinyelela kuso.
• Qiniseka ukuthi inja yakho ithola ukuvivinya umzimba okwanele kanye nokushukunyiswa kwengqondo ukuze unciphise ukucindezeleka ukuze ingakudli ukungcola ngenxa yesithukuthezi.

Lokhu kungasiza inja yakho ukuba ibhekane nanoma yiziphi izingcindezi ezingase zibe khona ekuphileni kwayo, njengokushintsha okungazelelwe kwesimiso noma ukwakheka komndeni, ukuhlukana. Mhlawumbe isilwane esifuywayo sidinga nje isikhathi sokujwayela.

Uma kungekho nelilodwa lamasu aphakanyisiwe elisebenzayo, usizo lomqeqeshi wezilwane ochwepheshe noma isazi sokuziphatha kwezilwane singase sidingeke.

Nakuba i-geophagy ivamile phakathi kwezinja, akuphephile ukuvumela isilwane esifuywayo senze kanjalo. Ngokushesha kuthathwa isinyathelo ukuvimbela lokhu kuziphatha futhi uthole izimbangela zako, ngcono impilo yenja.
