Izinja nezinhliziyo

Izifo ze-heartworm yisimo esibi kakhulu futhi esinokubulala ezinja. Kungenzeka ukuthi wezwa ochwepheshe bezilwane bekhuluma ngokuhlolwa kwezinhliziyo kanye nokuvimbela, kodwa uyaqonda ukuthi isifo siyingozi yini? Njengomnikazi wendoda enomthwalo wemfanelo , kungcono ukuzijwayeza izingozi zezinkuni zezinja.

Isifo se- heartworm sibangelwa ukuhlaselwa kwegciwane elibizwa nge- Dirofilaria immitis .

Yize le imatode ye-parasitic yaziwa ukuthi iyathinta izinhlobo eziningi zezilwane, umphathi wayo omuhle uyinja. Ngamafuphi, i- Dirofilaria immitis ihlasela inhliziyo, amaphaphu nezitsha eziseduze zenja, ekugcineni ziholela ekufeni. Izinambuzane ze-heartworms kungenzeka ziyi- parasites eyingozi kakhulu ethinta izinja . Ngenkathi isifo senhliziyo isivamile kakhulu ezinja, kuvinjelwa kalula ngokusizwa nodokotela wakho wezilwane.

Isifo se-heartworm singenzeka emakati, kodwa asivamile.

Indlela Izinja Zithola Izinhliziyo Zezinhliziyo

Izifo ze-heartworm ziyadluliselwa phakathi kwezilwane ngendlela yimiyane. Okokuqala, umiyane uhlamba isilwane (ngokuvamile inja) enezimpungushe ezinhliziyo (okuthiwa i-microfilariae) egazini layo bese ingena izibungu. Lezi izibungu zisendaweni yazo yokuqala yokuthuthukiswa (L1). Izimpungushe zivuthwa ngaphakathi komzimba womiyane cishe amasonto amabili aze afinyelele esiteji sesithathu sokuthuthukiswa kwe-larval (L2). Lapho umiyane ulungisa inja, i-L3 microfilariae ingena esikhunjeni senja ngokusebenzisa amanxeba amancane avela ku-bite.

Bavuthwa izinsuku ezilodwa kuya kwezintathu ngaphansi kwesikhumba senja, bafinyelele esiteji se-L4. Lezi izibungu zihamba ngomzimba wenja izinsuku ezingu-50-70 baze zibe izibungu ezindala ezindala. Bese bangena egazini bese behamba beya enhliziyweni njengoba bevuthwa kuze kube iminyaka yobudala. Ama-heartworms womlingani omdala emithini yamaphaphu.

Kulesi sigaba, ziyi-10-15 cm ubude (mayelana nobude bepensela). Kungakapheli izinyanga ezingu-7 kuleso sokuqala sokudlulisa umiyane, i- Dirofilaria immitis izofinyelela ekuvuthweni. Izinwele zomzimba ezivuthiwe zingama-15-18 cm ubude, kepha abesifazane bangama-25-30 cm (cabanga ngezinwele zezinwele zezingelosi). Ngalesi sikhathi, ama-microfilariae azokwenyuka egazini kuze kube yilapho engangenwa umiyane, ephinda umjikelezo wokuphila.

Yeka ukuthi izinhliziyo zithinta kanjani umzimba wezinja

Inhliziyo eyodwa engumuntu oyedwa ongaphila kule nja iminyaka emihlanu kuya kwesikhombisa. Izibungu ngokuvamile zihlala enhliziyweni nasezindlini ezizungezile zenja. Ukulimala kwenzeka ekugumbeni kwezimpahla. Izicubu nezitsha esifundeni zivutha. Amangqamuzana egazi angakwazi ukuqoqa ngezibungu, ngokweqile agqabise imishanguzo futhi avimbele amagagasi enhliziyo. Ukukhishwa komzimba kungancipha, kuholele ekwandiseni kwenhliziyo kanye negazi lomfutho wegazi. Zonke lezi zinkinga zingaholela ekusebenziseni ukungasebenzi kwezinye izitho emzimbeni, kubandakanya isibindi nezinso. Izimpethu ezengeziwe zikhona, izinkinga ezinkulu. Uma isikhathi eside izimpethu zikhona, kube nzima kakhulu umonakalo. Umonakalo obangelwa izinhlungu ze-heart also uxhomeke endaweni yabo ngqo kule nja.

Izimpawu Zezifo Zenhliziyo

Izimpawu ze-heartworms azivame ukwenzeka kuze kube yilapho lesi sifo sihamba phambili.

Azikho izimpawu ezibonakala ezinyathelweni zokuqala zesifo senhliziyo. Lokhu yingxenye yezizathu eziningi zezilwane zezilwane ezinconywayo zokuncoma ukuhlolwa kwe-heartworm yonyaka. Ukuhlolwa kwonyaka kubalulekile nezinja ekuvinjeni kwenhliziyo (uma kwenzeka umkhiqizo uhluleka, kungcono ukubamba lesi sifo ekuqaleni).

Ukuvuthwa kuvame ukugcinwa lapho isifo senhliziyo esincane sikhona. Inja ene-heartworm isifo esilinganiselwe ngokuvamile ibonisa ukukhwehlela nokungahambisani nokubekezelelana. Uma isifo senhliziyo sibi kakhulu, izimpawu zihlanganisa ukukhwehlela, ukubekezelelana, ukuphefumula kanzima, ukuvuvukala kwesisu, ukuwa nokufa okungazelelwe.

Uma inja yakho ikhwehlela, bheka i-vet yakho ngokushesha. Udokotela wezilwane angenza izivivinyo zegazi ezilula ukuze abone ukuthi kunezinambuzane ze-heartworms. I-vet ingabuye ilalele imisindo yezinhliziyo ezingavamile futhi yenza ezinye izivivinyo zokuxilonga ukuze kusize ukucacisa ubunzima besifo senhliziyo.

Njengokuba njalo, ukuxhumana okufanele ne-vet yakho ne-vet yakho kubalulekile.

I-Heartworm Prevention

Enye yezinto ezibaluleke kakhulu ongayenza ngenja yakho ukuvimbela isifo senhliziyo esisuka endaweni yokuqala. Qinisekisa ukuthi inja yakho ivakashela i-vet ngokushesha nje lapho uqala ukumyisa empilweni yakho. Qhubeka nokuvakashelwa kokuhamba kahle njengoba kunconywa. Ukuvimbela inhliziyo yakho kuyomiswa ngudokotela wakho wezilwane, ngokuvamile ngesimo sephilisi yenyanga. Ezinye izinhlobo zokuvimbela i-heartworm ziyi-topical or injectable. Ukuvimbela i-Heartworm kusebenza ukubulala inhliziyo ye-microworlariae ukuze bangakwazi ukuvuthwa emzimbeni wenja yakho. Kubalulekile ukuthi uhambisane nezincomo zakho ze-vet mayelana nokuvimbela izinhliziyo. Lona ngumthwalo wakho njengomnikazi wenja. Ungalokothi unqume noma unqamule ukuvinjelwa kwenhliziyo yenja yakho njalo ngaphandle kokuyala ukuba wenze kanjalo ngudokotela wakho wezilwane.

I-Heartworm Treatment yezinja

Nakuba isifo senhliziyo esibuhlungu singabhubhisa futhi singabulala, singasiphathwa njalo. Ngeshwa, ukwelashwa kwe-heartworm kuyingozi futhi kubiza. Izinja ezinezifo ezinzima zingase zingapheli ukwelashwa kanti ngokuvamile azibhekwa njengezifanelekile zokwelashwa. Yingakho ukuvimbela izinhliziyo kusemqoka kakhulu.

Ama-heartworms abulawa ngokusetshenziswa kobufebe. I-protocol eminingi iningi elilandelayo isekelwe ezinconyweni ezibekwe yi-American Heartworm Society.

Ukwelashwa kwe-Adulticide kunezingxenye eziningana. Izinja kuqala zihlolwa ukuhlola ukusiza ukucacisa ubuhlungu besifo senhliziyo. Lokhu ngokuvamile kufaka phakathi umsebenzi webhu kanye nama-radiographs kodwa kungahluka kuye ngokuthi ubukhulu bezimpawu zomtholampilo, uma kukhona.

Ukuze uqale i-protocol yokuphinga, inja iqalelwa ekuvimbeleni izinhliziyo zomzimba ukubulala noma iyiphi i-microfilariae (i-heartworm larvae) ekhona.

Ama-vets amaningi azosebenzisa ukwelashwa kwangaphambili kwama-antihistamine nezidakamizwa eziphikisanayo zokuvimbela ukusabela njengoba izimpethu zifa. Ngemuva kwesilinganiso sokuqala sokuvimbela izinhliziyo, inja kufanele ihlale isifo sokuvimbela inhliziyo yonke impilo yayo (njengoba kufanele zonke izinja).

Inja enhle ye-heartworm ivame ukuqala ngomlomo doxycycline noma i-minocycline emasontweni amane alandelayo. Lawa ma-antibiotic anikezwa ukulwa namabhaktheriya anikezwe yizinhliziyo ezifayo. Kucatshangwa ukuthi kunciphise izinhliziyo eziphilayo.

Izinsuku ezingamashumi amathathu emva kokuvimbela izinhliziyo zakuqala, inja izobuyela esibhedlela ngenani lokuqala lokuphinga. Isidakamizwa esibizwa ngokuthi i-melarsomine (i-Immiticide) sijojowe sibe yisisipha esikhaleni somgogodla futhi inja iyabonwa ngosuku uma kwenzeka. Imithi yokwelapha efanayo njengaphambili ijwayele ukuhlinzekwa ukuvimbela ukusabela (antihistamine kanye nama-anti-inflammatory injections).

Izinsuku ezingamashumi amathathu kamuva, inja ibuyela esibhedlela futhi injini yesibili ye-melarsomine (Immiticide) inikezwa. Inja ngokuvamile igonywe ngobusuku bonke futhi inikwe umjovo wesithathu we-melarsomine ngosuku olulandelayo.

Ukwelashwa kwe-heartworm kuyingozi kakhulu ngenxa yezindwangu zegazi ezingenzeka uma izimpethu zifa. Ukuvinjelwa kwemisebenzi yenja kubalulekile kulo lonke ukwelashwa futhi kufanele kube nzima nakakhulu ngesikhathi futhi ngemuva kokufakwa kwe-adulticide. Ukuzivocavoca, ukuthakazelisa nokushisa konke kuzokwandisa amathuba okuba nezinkinga. Ama-vets ngokuvamile ancoma umkhawulo womsebenzi owodwa noma izinyanga ezimbili ngemuva kokwelashwa kwezinhliziyo.

Uma konke kushiwo futhi kwenziwa, i-protocol yokwelashwa kwe-heartworm ingadla cishe u-$ 1000- $ 1500. Ngisho nemitholampilo ye-vet engabizi kahle idinga ukukhokhisa u-$ 300 noma ngaphezulu. Uma uqhathanisa lokhu nezindleko zokuvimbela izinhliziyo, kubeka izinto ngendlela efanele. Izindleko zonyaka zamakamelo okuvimbela kusuka ku-$ 35- $ 250 ngonyaka ngokuya ngobukhulu benja kanye negama lokuvikela elikhethiwe. Ngokusobala, ukuvimbela kuyindlela ephephile futhi engabizi kakhulu.

Inothi elibalulekile : Ngisho nangemva kokuba inja iselaphelelwe isifo senhliziyo, ukutheleleka kabusha kungenzeka uma ukuvimbela izinhliziyo kungasetshenziswanga!

Izinja ezingakufanelekeli ukwelashwa kobufebe zingaphathwa nge-okuthiwa " indlela yokubulala kancane ." Lokhu akukhuthazwa yi-American Heartworm Society futhi akubhekwa njengokusebenza kahle. Noma kunjalo, kungase kube yedwa okukhethwa kukho ezimweni ezithile.

Uma ungathanda ukugwema inja yakho (kanye nekhredithi yakho) kusuka enkambweni engenhla, qiniseka ukuthi unikela ngokuvimbela inhliziyo yakho yonke iminyaka. Zifundise ngokwama-heartworms bese ukhuluma ne-vet yakho mayelana necebo elingcono lokuvimbela inja yakho.
