Uma Izinso Zenja Yakho Ziqala Ukuthola Izibhakabhaka Nezinye Izimpawu Zokuguga

Isiqeshana somngane ekunakekeleni amaKhangi aseGeriatric .

Lo mbuzo uvela kumbukeli ucela ukuthi yini ongayilindela njengoba inja yakhe ikhula. Yini "evamile" inja endala? Ukuqaphela izinguquko ezijwayelekile zokuguga kwesilwane sakho esikudala kuzokusiza ukuba ubone uma kunenkinga yezokwelapha okufanele iqondiswe.

Kusuka ku-Mailbag:

"Sinezinja ezimbili - I-Bud, oneminyaka engu-11 ubudala, ne-Little Guy, oneminyaka engu-2 ubudala. I-Bud iyasebenza, i-Little Guy ibona lokho. Ukukhathazeka kwami angikukwazi lutho mayelana nokuguga, nendlela yokubhekana nayo, lokho okumele sikubheke, ezimpawu ezibucayi, nendlela yokwenza ukuguga kukhululeke kakhulu kithi sonke. UBud noNcane bahlukana, futhi (ukudlula kukaBud) kuyomthinta naye, ungayiphakamisa yini incwadi noma iphepha elizosiza mina ukuphuma? " - uLouis

Kuyini "ukuguga" kwezinja?

I-classic yakudala "yonyaka owodwa wesintu olingana neminyaka eyisikhombisa yenja" iyindlela elula yokubala nokuhlobana nonyaka wezinja zakho, kodwa akuyona into enembile kakhulu. Izinja ezinkulu (ie Great Danes) zibhekwa njengezikhulile ezineminyaka engu-6 noma engu-7, kuyilapho izinhlanga ezincane (ie i-toy poodle) zingabhekwa njengabantu abadala kuze kube yilapho bekhulile. Ngiye ngabona okungaphezu kokukodwa kwesinye sezinyanga ezingu-18 kuya kwezingu-20. Kukhona izifundo zokuphakamisa ukuthi izinhlobo ezithile zisusa abanye.

Ukuze ubone ukuthi izinja ezihlukahlukene nobukhulu obuhlukahlukene zihlobene kanjani nobudala bomuntu, bheka ikhasi lekhasi lokubala lezinja.

Njengomthetho ojwayelekile wesithupha, inja eneminyaka engu-7 noma ngaphezulu kufanele ibhekwe njengomphakathi phakathi kwabadala asebekhulile, futhi ukubonisana ne-vet yakho kuhloswe ukuze kunqume uhlelo oluhle lokunakekelwa kwezempilo lwezinja yakho njengoba uneminyaka yobudala. Ngezinja ezincane, i-vet yakho (ngokubonisana nawe) ingakhetha ukulinda iminyaka embalwa ngaphambi kokuba wenze noma iyiphi inqubo yokuqapha.

Yiziphi izinto okufanele ngilindele njengoba inja yami idlula?

Inja ngayinye, njengomuntu ngamunye, ihlukile. Nazi ezinye izinto ezijwayelekile okufanele uzibuke njengeminyaka yobudala:

Ihlisa phansi:

Ungase uqaphele ukuthi inja yakho inciphisa abanye ngokuguga. Lokhu akulona kunjalo njalo kodwa bheka izinguquko ezicashile lapho evuka khona, ehla bese esebenzisa izitebhisi. Ingabe kukhona ukungabaza noma ukuqina? Ingabe ushintsho sezulu (ukusa, ukubandayo) kwenza kube kubi nakakhulu?

I-arthritis:

I-arthritis ivame kakhulu ezinja njengoba zikhula, ikakhulukazi izinhlanga ezinkulu, futhi zingenzeka kunoma yiluphi uhlangene, ngokuvamile imilenze, intamo nangemuva (umgogodla). Kunezinhlobo eziningi zemithi ekhona ukuze kusize ukunciphisa ukungahambi kahle kwe-arthritis - bheka i-vet yakho uma ubona noma yiziphi izimpawu zokunciphisa inja yakho.

I-Hypothyroidism:

Ukugubungela ubuso, umbukiso:

Enye yezinja zami yahamba ingakayi-grey eminyakeni emibili ubudala, kodwa iningi lezinja livame ukukhombisa i-grey kusukela ekuqaleni kweminyaka yobudala (iminyaka emi-5-6).

Ukuzwa okunciphile:

Ingabe inja yakho ilukhuni ukuvuka emva kokulala noma ingabe ihlehliswa kalula uma usondela ngemuva? Ukuzwa ukulahlekelwa noma ukungazizwa kungase kube isizathu salokhu. Akukho okuningi okungenziwa ngokulahlekelwa kwezindlebe ezihlobene neminyaka, kepha ukuhlolwa kwe-vet kufanele kwenziwe kuqala ukulawula ezinye izinkinga zezokwelapha, njengokutheleleka, ukukhula, noma umzimba wangaphandle endlebeni.
Uma inja yakho izwa ukulahlekelwa, qaphela ukuyivikela ezingozini, njengezimoto kanye nezingane ezingenakuzwa (noma zibone). Izinja zifunda futhi zivumelanise kahle ngokusebenzisa izibonakaliso zesandla ezizayo, ukuhlala, ukuhlala, njalonjalo. Kungumqondo omuhle ukuwela "isitimela" inja yakho ekuqaleni kokuphila ukuqaphela izimpawu zesandla eziyisisekelo.

Amehlo amafu noma "ama-bluish":

Njengoba bekhula, amehlo enja ngokuvamile avame ukuveza "ubhavu" obonakalayo bluish in the area student. Lena umphumela evamile wokuguga, futhi igama lezokwelapha kulokhu yi-lenticular sclerosis. Umbono ubonakala ungathintekile. Lokhu akufani neze-cataracts. Ama-cataracts amhlophe futhi a-opaque. Umbono ungathinteka yi-cataract, futhi i-vet yakho idinga ukubonisana (bheka "nini isikhathi sokubona i-vet?" Ngezansi).

I-muscle atrophy:

Ukulahleka okuncane kwesisindo somzimba, ikakhulukazi imilenze yangemva, kungabonakala ngokuguga. Ezinye i-atrophy ye-muscle, ikakhulukazi ekhanda nasezintweni zomzimba, zingabonisa izifo ezifana ne-masticatory myositis ne-Cushing's. Qinisekisa ukuba i-vet yakho ihlole lokhu uma kukhona ukulahleka kwemisipha kuphawulwe.
