Ulwazi Nge-Canine Osteoarthritis
I-arthritis ukuvuvukala amalunga ehlangene noma amaningi emzimbeni. Ngokuvamile kuhambisane nobuhlungu nokuqina. Igama lesi sifo livela egameni lesiGreki elithi arthro (okuhlangene) kanye nesibindi -isitis (ukuvuvukala). I-arthritis ayitholakali kubantu kuphela; kuvamile izinja nezinye izilwane kanye. Kunezinhlobo eziningi ze-arthritis. Ezinja, amafomu aphambili kanje:
- I-Osteoarthritis (OA), ebizwa ngokuthi i-Degenerative Joint Disease (DJD)
- I-arthritis yomzimba (i-polyarthritis, i-arthritis ye-rheumatoid)
- I-arthritis ene-infect (ibhaktheriya, igciwane noma i-fungal)
Kulezi zinhlobo eziyinhloko ze-arthritis, i-Osteoarthritis iyona evame kakhulu. Ngakho-ke, lesi sihloko sizogxila kolwazi mayelana ne-osteoarthritis.
Yini i-Canine Osteoarthritis?
Eyaziwa nangokuthi isifo esihlangene se-degenerative, i-osteoarthritis yisifo esingelapheki esiyingozi esingathinta isilwane esisodwa noma ngaphezulu emzimbeni. I-cartilage ngaphakathi kwezenzo ezihlangene njengezinhlobo zamathambo. Elula futhi eguquguqukayo kune-bone, i-cartilage iphazamisa ngesikhathi sokunyakaza okuhlangene futhi isisiza ukuhlinzeka ngokubambisana okuhlangene. Njengoba lesi siqhwaga sihamba, amathambo aqala ukuxubana ngomunye nomunye. I-bone-on-bone ukungqubuzana kubangela ukubhujiswa kwithambo, amathambo angavamile ukuphindaphinda, nokuvuvukala kwezicubu ezithambile ezizungezile. Konke lokhu kuholela ebuhlungu obungapheli nokuqina emalungeni. Izakhi ezivame ukwenziwa kakhulu ziyizinkalo, amadolo, amajuba, amahlombe, amahlombe, i-carpi (izibambo) nomgogodla.
I-osteoarthritis yisimo esingapheliyo, okusho ukuthi uma siqala sizoqhubeka sibi kakhulu. Ayikho ikhambi le-arthritis, kodwa kunezindlela eziningi zokwelashwa ezitholakalayo ezinganciphisa ukukhula kwesifo nokunciphisa ukukhathazeka okubangela.
Izimbangela ze-Arthritis kuzinja
Isifo esivumelwaneni esivumelanayo siwumphumela wokucindezeleka isikhathi eside kuhlangene.
Ngokuvamile, i-arthritis ibonakala ezinja ezindala , njengokungapheli isikhathi sokugqoka nokuphumula kumajoyini okuholela ekuthuthukiseni lesi sifo. Uma i-osteoarthritis ivela ezinjaneni ezincane, kuhlale kunesinye isici. Ukuhlukunyezwa komdala noma ukulimala kungase kubangele ukulimala kokuqala kuhlangene, okuholela ekuguqulweni kwamagciwane. Futhi, ukuthuthukiswa okuhlangene okungavamile, ukukhubazeka okuhlangene kokuzalwa noma isimo esihlangene njengefa ( njenge-hip dysplasia ) singaqala inqubo yesifo. Ngaphezu kwalokho, ukukhuluphala kunika ukucindezeleka ngokweqile kumajoyini, okungenzeka kubangele ukuqala kwe-osteoarthritis. Ukugcina inja yakho ngesisindo esinempilo kungenye yezindlela ezingcono zokuvimbela i-osteoarthritis, ukunciphisa ukuqhubeka kwayo, nokunciphisa ubuhlungu obubangela.
Izimpawu ze-Arthritis kuzinja
Izimpawu ze-arthritis ezinja ziyahlukahluka kancane. Uma kunjalo, abanikazi abaningi abaqapheli ngisho nezinja zabo zine-arthritis kuze kube nzima. Lokhu akusho ukuthi lezozinja azizwa ubuhlungu obuphansi ukuya ekuzilingeni ezinkathini zokuqala, nje ukuthi azibonisi ngendlela umuntu angase akwazi ngayo. Khumbula ukuthi izinja zivame ukuzifihla ukukhathazeka kwazo njengengxenye yokuphila kwazo. Lokhu kuyingxenye yezizathu zokuhlola izivivinyo zezilwane kubalulekile kakhulu, ikakhulukazi njengoba inja yakho idlula. I-vet ingase ibone izibonakaliso ezicashile zesifo samathambo ngesikhathi sokuhlolwa okungenzeka kungabonakali ekhaya.
Okulandelayo yizibonakaliso ezivame kakhulu ze-arthritis ezinja:
- I-Lameness / indawo engavamile
- Ukugubha, ikakhulukazi ngemva kokuvuka
- Ukuhleleka ukukhuphuka izitebhisi, ukugijima noma ukugijima
- Ukubunzima ukujula emotweni noma efenitheni
- Kunzima ukuhlala noma ukuma
- Ukwehlisa isithakazelo ekuhambeni, imidlalo noma ukubamba iqhaza kwezinye izinhlobo zokuzivocavoca uma kutholakala
- Ukuhoxiswa kumalungu omndeni
- Indawo yokukhipha indawo yokujoyina noma amajoyina athile
- Ukuzwela nokukhathazeka lapho amalunga ethinta (ezimweni ezinzima, isilwane singakhamuluka noma siphume)
- Izinguquko zokuziphatha kanye / noma isimo sengqondo
- Ukukhathazeka ukuthola ukhululekile / ukuphumula
- Ukulala ngaphezu kokujwayelekile
- Ukwakhiwa noma ukugaya okuhlangene uma ushukunyiswa (okuthiwa i-crepitus, lokhu kuvame ukubonwa ekuhlolweni kwezilwane)
Qaphela ukuthi ezinye zezimpawu ezingenhla zingabonakalisa ezinye izinkinga zezempilo. Uma ubona lezi noma ezinye izibonakaliso zokugula , qiniseka ukuthi uxhumane nodokotela wakho wezilwane.
Ukuthola i-arthritis kuzinja
Udokotela wakho wezilwane angase ahlolisise inja yakho nge-arthritis esebenzisa inhlanganisela yamathuluzi okuxilonga. Ngokuvamile, ukuxilongwa kuqala ngomlando oyinikezayo. I-vet yakho izolalela njengoba uchaza izimpawu zezinja zakho, ezisebenza njengezikhomba esimweni senja yakho. Kuzobe kwenzeka ukuhlola ngokuhlola, lapho i-vet yakho izosebenzisa khona amakhemikhali futhi izwe ngokuqina, ukuvuvukala kanye ne-crepitus (inzwa yokugaya / ukugaya ezwayo uma amalunga esetshenziswa). Ukuze uthole ukuqinisekiswa noma imininingwane eyengeziwe, i-vet yakho ingancoma ama-radiographs (ama-x-ray). Lezi zizovumela i-vet yakho ukuthi ibone amajoyinti athintekile, ikhombise ushintsho emathanjeni futhi inqume ukuqina kwe-arthritis.
Uma sekutholakale ukuxilongwa, udokotela wakho wezilwane uzokhuluma nawe mayelana nezinketho zokwelashwa . Kukhona neminye indlela yokuphila kanye nezinguquko zemvelo ongazenza ukuze usize inja yakho. Nakuba kungekho ukwelashwa kwe-osteoarthritis, kunenhlanhla izindlela eziningi zokwelapha nokuphatha lesi sifo nezimpawu zayo.
