Ke nīnau ʻoe i nā mea mālama holoholona i ka mea e hoʻopilikia nui ai iā lākou e pili ana i nā mahina kauwela, ʻo ke kumuhana e piʻi mau nei ka ʻauʻau!
ʻO kēia mau ʻiniko liʻiliʻi, ʻeleʻele ʻeleʻele makemake i nā mahana o 65-80 degere a me nā pae haʻahaʻa o 75-85 pākēneka - no laila ma kekahi mau wahi o ka ʻāina, ʻoi aku ka nui o nā ʻauʻau ma nā ʻīlio ma mua o ka pilikia kauwela. Ma nā wahi he nui o ka hema o ʻAmelika Hui Pū ʻIa, hiki i nā ʻauʻau ke ola a puni ka makahiki a hoʻopilikia i kāu pipi.
Hoʻopili pinepine ʻia nā ʻīlio i nā ʻauʻau ma o ka launa pū ʻana me nā holoholona ʻē aʻe a i ʻole ma o ka launa pū ʻana me nā ʻauʻau ma ke kaiapuni. ʻO nā wāwae hope ikaika o kēia pepeke hiki iā ia ke lele mai kahi hoʻokipa a hoʻokipa a i ʻole mai nā wahi a puni a i ka host. (ʻAʻohe ʻēheu o ka peʻa, no laila ʻaʻole hiki iā lākou ke lele.)
Hiki i ka nahu ʻauʻa ke hoʻoulu i ka ʻona i loko o ka mea hoʻokipa, hiki ke koʻikoʻi loa i nā holoholona maʻalahi a i ʻole ka poʻe maʻi i ka peʻa. Hiki iā ia ke alakaʻi i ka ʻoki nui ʻana a me ka nau ʻana, e hoʻopau ai i ka lauoho, ʻā, a me nā maʻi ʻili lua. ʻO kekahi mau puaʻa he mea maʻalahi loa i ka ʻaʻa ʻaʻa a loaʻa ka makaʻu ma ko lākou kino a pau mai ka nahu wale ʻana.
Pehea e ʻike ai i nā ʻauʻau ma nā ʻīlio
Pehea ʻoe e ʻike ai inā ʻo ka ʻauʻau ke kumu o ka ʻeha (pruritus in vet jargon)? ʻAʻole e like me ka burrowing, microscopic demodex a i ʻole scabies mites, ʻike pinepine ʻia nā ʻauʻau e ʻā ana ma ka ʻili o ka ʻili.
He keleawe ʻeleʻele ke kala a ua like ka nui me ke poʻo pine. ʻAʻole lākou makemake i ka māmā, no laila ʻo ka manawa maikaʻi loa e ʻike ai i nā ʻauʻau ma luna o kahi ʻīlio ke nānā aku i nā wahi huluhulu, ʻōpū, a me nā ʻūhā i loko.
He hōʻailona paha ka "ʻauʻau lepo" ma luna o ka ʻīlio. ʻO nā feces feces me he mau kiko pepa ʻeleʻele i hoʻopuehu ʻia ma ka ʻili o ka ʻili. Inā ʻike ʻoe i nā feces peʻa - ʻo ia hoʻi nā feces peʻa i hana ʻia me ke koko i ʻeli ʻia - e lawe i kekahi o ia mea mai ka holoholona a kau ma luna o kahi kāwele pepa pulu. Inā ma hope o kekahi mau minuke, palahalaha nā kiko liʻiliʻi e like me ke koko liʻiliʻi, ʻo ia ka lepo peʻa a he ʻauʻau kāu pipi.
He aha ke ala maikaʻi loa e hoʻopau ai i nā ʻauʻau mai ka ʻīlio?
Ke hoʻoholo ʻoe he ʻauʻau kāu ʻīlio, aia kekahi mau mea hiki iā ʻoe ke hana e kōkua i kāu pipi.
Ka hoʻomalu ʻana i ka waha a me ke kumuhana
He mea hoʻonāukiuki a hoʻomau ka ʻauʻau. Eia naʻe, ua hōʻike ʻia ka ʻīlio ʻīlio a me nā lāʻau lapaʻau ʻīlio a me nā lāʻau lapaʻau ʻīlio ʻē aʻe kekahi o nā ala wikiwiki loa e hoʻopau i kāu pipi i nā ʻauʻau.
Hoʻohana wale kekahi mau lāʻau lapaʻau i nā ʻauʻau makua, ʻo nā hua ʻauʻau ʻē aʻe, nā ʻōpala, a me nā ʻauʻau makua, no laila he mea nui e kūʻai i ka lāʻau lapaʻau kūpono. Hoʻohui kekahi i ka mālama ʻana i ka peʻa a me ka pale ʻana i ka heartworm i hoʻokahi lapaʻau. E ʻike ʻoe e koi ana kekahi i ka palapala ʻōlelo aʻo kekahi ʻaʻole.
No laila he aha ka lāʻau lapaʻau waha maikaʻi loa no nā ʻīlio? Pili ia i nā pono o kāu ʻīlio. E kamaʻilio me kāu kauka e pili ana i kahi koho maikaʻi loa no kāu holoholona.
ʻO ka lāʻau lapaʻau kuhikuhi
Nui nā ʻano mea hoʻomalu ʻauʻau ma ka mākeke i kēia mau lā, akā ʻo ka mea hou aʻe i kauoha ʻia ai nā mea ʻauʻau a me nā mea hoʻomalu tick e hoʻemi i ka hoʻohaʻahaʻa ʻana i ka pale ʻana i ka peʻa me nā hōʻailona kaulana a maikaʻi loa.
E kamaʻilio me kāu kauka lapaʻau e pili ana i ka pale ʻana i ka ʻauʻau a me ka maʻi no nā ʻīlio, no ka mea, ʻo ka nui o kēia mau mea e koi ai i kahi palapala. ʻO nā lāʻau lapaʻau kekahi o nā ala maikaʻi loa e pepehi koke ai i nā ʻauʻau.
Hoʻopau ʻo Bravecto (Fluralaner) i nā ʻauʻau i loko o ʻelua mau hola a mau no ʻekolu mahina, ʻoiai nā huahana i loaʻa iā Spinosad (Comfortis, Trifexis) e hana i loko o 30 mau minuke a mau no hoʻokahi mahina.
ʻAʻole hoʻopōʻino kekahi o kēia mau ʻauʻau i ka ʻauʻau makua, akā e pale aku i kāna mau hua mai ka ʻoʻo ʻana, a laila e hoʻopau ai i ka pōʻaiapuni o ke ola o ka peʻa. Ma muli o ka hiki ʻole o ka ʻauʻau ke hana hou, e nalowale ka heluna o ka ʻauʻau ke ʻole ka pili mau ʻana o ka pipi me nā ʻauʻau hou.
Ma nā piʻi wela, ʻo ka hoʻomaʻamaʻa ʻana i ka ʻauʻau a me ka tick no nā ʻīlio he hana maʻamau a puni ka makahiki, akā i nā piʻi ʻē aʻe, pono e hoʻomaka ka mālama ʻana i ka hoʻomaka ʻana o ka pūnāwai, ma mua o ka hoʻomaka ʻana o ke kau ʻauʻau.
ʻO ka lāʻau lapaʻau kūʻai aku e mālama i nā ʻauʻau ma nā ʻīlio
Nui nō hoʻi nā huahana ʻē aʻe e pepehi ai i nā ʻauʻau ma luna o ka holoholona ʻaʻole pono ke kau ʻana. Eia nō naʻe, ʻoi aku ka maikaʻi o kēia mau huahana ma mua o nā huahana kuhikuhi.
ʻO kēia mau lāʻau lapaʻau ʻauʻau ma luna o ke kūʻai aku, ʻo ia nā shampoos ʻauʻau, nā pauka ʻauʻau, nā ʻauʻau ʻauʻau, nā kola puaʻa, ka mālama ʻana i ka peʻa waha, a me nā huahana kiko. Hōʻike ka nui o nā mea lapaʻau e loaʻa mau ana nā ʻauʻau i kā lākou poʻe maʻi ma hope o ka hoʻohana ʻana i kēia mau mea kūʻai aku, akā aia kekahi mau loiloi maikaʻi mai nā mea mālama holoholona no kekahi o kēia mau huahana.
No ka laʻana, ʻo Capstar kahi papa e pepehi ai i nā ʻauʻau makua a lawe ʻia ma ka waha. Hoʻomaka ia e hana i loko o 30 mau minuke a make ma mua o 90 pakeneka o nā ʻauʻau āpau i loko o ʻehā hola. Hoʻohana ʻia ia no ka mālama ʻana i nā maʻi peʻa.
No nā holoholona maʻi i ka ʻauʻau ʻauʻau (flea bite hypersensitivity), pono ʻoe e koho i kahi mea hana e kū pono ai i nā ʻauʻau makua, no ka mea, hiki nō iā lākou ke nahu i ka holoholona. No nā ʻīlio me ka noʻonoʻo o ka peʻa, ʻo nā huahana me kahi mea hoʻolele peʻa (Seresto collar, Vectra 3D) ke koho maikaʻi loa e mālama i nā ʻauʻau mai ka nahu ʻana.
Shampoo lele ʻīlio
Aia nā ʻano shampoos ʻokoʻa a me ka tick no nā ʻīlio a me nā pōpoki ma ka mākeke e hiki ke hana maikaʻi ke hoʻohana pono ʻia. Hiki ke loaʻa i nā shampoos puaʻa ʻīlio kekahi mau mea ʻoi aku ka maikaʻi ʻole.
Pono e ʻauʻau ʻia nā ʻīlio liʻiliʻi me ka shampoo ʻīlio ʻole. Eia nō naʻe, pono ʻoe e noʻonoʻo inā hiki i kāu pipi ke ʻae i ka pulu a hoʻomaʻemaʻe ʻia no ʻelima a ʻumi mau minuke no ka mea ʻo ia ka lōʻihi o ke komo ʻana o ka shampoo.
Ma hope o ka ʻauʻau ʻauʻau maikaʻi, ua pepehi ʻoe i nā ʻauʻau a hiki ke hoʻohana i ka peʻa ʻauʻau a me ka ʻāʻī e wehe i nā ʻauʻau make mai kāu ʻīlio. Eia nō naʻe, ʻaʻole e pale ka shampoos flea i kāu ʻīlio mai kahi maʻi lele ʻē aʻe.
'Ōlelo Aʻo: He mea ʻawaʻawa ka ʻaila lāʻau kī. Mai hoʻohana i ka aila kumulāʻau kī no ka hoʻopaʻa ʻana i ka peʻa ma nā pōpoki a i ʻole nā ʻīlio.
E hoʻomaopopo i ke kaʻina ola o nā ʻauʻau
Akā ʻaʻole i pau kāu ʻimi e hoʻopau i nā ʻauʻau - pono ʻoe e mālama i nā wahi a puni. ʻAʻole lawa ka kāpīpī ʻana i ka pauda peʻa ma kāu holoholona; ʻaʻole lawa ka hoʻomaʻemaʻe pono ʻana i ka hale; ʻAʻole lawa ka kau ʻana i ka ʻāʻī ma luna o kāu holoholona a i ʻole ka hoʻohana ʻana i ka mālama ʻauʻau.
No ka hoʻomaopopo ʻana i ke ʻano o ka hana ʻana o kēlā me kēia koho lapaʻau a me ke kumu e pono ai ʻoe e mālama i ke kaiapuni, pono mākou e hoʻomaopopo mua i ka pōʻaiapuni o ke ola o ka peʻa. Hoʻohana ʻia nā ʻano lāʻau lapaʻau a me nā mea pale i nā ʻāpana like ʻole o kēia pōʻai ola.
Aia i loko o ka pō'ai ola o ka 'flea kekahi mau 'ano: hua manu, larva, pupa (cocoon), a me ka 'au'au makua. ʻO ka lōʻihi o ka hele ʻana i kēia pōʻai e pili ana i nā kūlana kaiapuni e like me ka mahana, ka haʻahaʻa, a me ka noho ʻana o kahi pūʻali meaʻai. Hiki ke ola ka pōʻaiapuni mai ʻelua pule a i hoʻokahi makahiki.
He holoholona koko pumehana ka mea hoʻokipa e like me ka ʻīlio a i ʻole ka pōpoki (a i ʻole ke kanaka). Kūleʻa loa nā ʻanuʻu peʻa ʻokoʻa i nā mahana maloʻo. Noho mau ka peʻa wahine makua ma luna o kona mea hoʻokipa no kekahi mau lā a i nā pule. I loko o ia manawa, ʻo ia ke omo i ke koko o ka holoholona ʻelua a ʻekolu manawa a waiho i 20 a 30 mau hua i ka lā. I kona wā e ola ana, hiki iā ia ke hoʻomoe i mau haneli hua. Hāʻule kēia mau hua mai ka holoholona a hiki i ka pā, ma luna o ka moena, ke kapena, a me nā wahi ʻē aʻe o ka holoholona.
A laila hoʻomau ka ulu ʻana o nā hua i kahi i pae ai. Ma kahi o 1/12 wale nō ka nui o nā holoholona makua, hiki iā lākou ke ulu i nā māwae liʻiliʻi o ka papahele a ma waena o nā māwae kāpeti. A laila hāʻule nā lau mai nā hua. Noho kēia mau ilo liʻiliʻi e like me ka ilo ma waena o nā ʻuala kāpeti, ma nā māwae o ka papahele, a ma waho o ke kaiapuni. ʻAi lākou i nā mea olaola, ka ʻāʻī, a me nā kulu koko o nā ʻauʻau makua.
E ulu ana ka larva, mol elua, a laila, hana lakou i niu kahi e pupa ai a kali i ka manawa kupono e omo ai i holoholona makua. He kūʻokoʻa kēia mau pēpē a pale ʻia e ko lākou niu. Hiki iā lākou ke ola no ka manawa lōʻihi, e kali ana a hiki i nā kūlana kaiapuni a me ka loaʻa ʻana o ka mea hoʻokipa kūpono. Puka aʻela lākou mai loko mai o kā lākou niu i ka ʻike ʻana i ka mahana, nā haʻalulu, a me ke kalapona kalapona i hoʻokuʻu ʻia, ʻo ia mau mea a pau e hōʻike ana ua kokoke mai kahi pūʻali koa. Hiki koke i ka ʻauʻau makua hou i ʻō ʻia ma luna o kahi hoʻokipa kokoke.
Ma lalo o nā kūlana maikaʻi loa, hiki i ka peʻa ke hoʻopau i kona ola holoʻokoʻa i loko o 14 mau lā. E noʻonoʻo wale i nā ʻumi kaukani o kēia mau liʻiliʻi liʻiliʻi e hiki mai ana ma lalo o nā kūlana maikaʻi loa.
I ka ʻike ʻana i kēia pōʻai ola, hoʻomaopopo kekahi i ke kumu he mea nui i ka mālama ʻana i ka holoholona hoʻokipa a me ka ʻāina o loko a me waho e hoʻomalu pono ai i ka heluna o ka ʻeleʻele.
Pono ʻoe e mālama i ke keʻena a me nā wahi a puni.
Pehea e mālama ai i nā ʻauʻau ma ia wahi
Me kēlā me kēia lapaʻau peʻa, pono e mālama i nā holoholona a pau i ka home no ka holomua piha. Eia kekahi, pono paha ʻoe e mālama i ka loko a me waho.
Lapaʻau o ke keʻena
I ka mālama ʻana i loko, pono e holoi i nā moena a pau i ka wai wela a me ka kopa. Pono e hoʻomaʻemaʻe maikaʻi ʻia nā papahele a pau a hoʻolei ʻia ka ʻeke ʻōpala, a i ʻole e hoʻokahe ʻia ka pahu a lawe ʻia ka ʻeke ʻōpala i waho. ʻO ka hoʻomaʻemaʻe ʻana i ka mahu ka mea hiki ke pepehi i kekahi o nā larvae. Eia nō naʻe, e hoʻomanaʻo i ka waiho ʻana o ka momi a me ka holoi ʻana i kahi kapena i kahi pākēneka maikaʻi o nā ʻauʻau ola ma hope, no laila pono ke mālama kemika.
Hiki ke mālama ʻia ka hale holoʻokoʻa no nā ʻauʻau. Nui nā koho, me nā nebulizers maikaʻi loa. ʻO nā huahana i hoʻokumu ʻia i ka waika Boric he koho palekana no nā hale me nā keiki liʻiliʻi a i ʻole nā kūlana ʻē aʻe kahi pilikia ke koena kemika. ʻO nā huahana ʻoi aku ka maikaʻi e loaʻa i kahi mea hana e pepehi ai i nā ʻauʻau makua a me kahi mea hana e pepehi ai i nā pae ʻē aʻe o ke ola. Ua kapa ʻia ka mea hope he mea hoʻoponopono ulu lāʻau.
ʻO Methoprene kekahi mea hoʻoponopono ulu. I kekahi mau hihia, ʻaʻole hiki ke komo maikaʻi nā aerosol misters e pepehi i nā ʻauʻau huna a me nā ʻōpala. ʻO kahi koho ʻē aʻe i loko o ka hale kahi huahana sodium borate i hoʻohana ʻia i nā papahele kāpeti. E hoʻokaʻaʻike aku i kahi hui exterminator kūloko no ka helu kumu kūʻai a me ka hōʻoia ʻana e hoʻopau ke kaʻina hana i nā ʻauʻau.
Ka mālama ʻana i ka peʻa waho
Hoʻohana mau ʻia nā ʻōpala a me nā pelleted insecticides e hoʻomalu i nā ʻauʻau ma waho ma hope o ka hoʻomaʻemaʻe ʻia ʻana o nā hale ʻīlio a me nā kennels. He koho maikaʻi ka mea hoʻoponopono ulu nalo ma ʻaneʻi. ʻOi aku ka paʻa o Pyriproxyfen i ka lā a lōʻihi ka lōʻihi o waho ma mua o ka methoprene.
He mea nui e hoʻomaopopo ua pāpā ka Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) i ka insecticide chlorpyrifos (Dursban). Ua pau ka hana ʻana i Dekemaba 2000.
ʻO ka honua diatomaceous, kahi mea ʻawaʻawa ʻole, hiki ke hana maikaʻi loa a palekana ke hoʻohana ʻia i loko a puni nā māla mea kanu a me nā lako pāʻani waho o nā keiki. Ke koho ʻana i kahi huahana honua diatomaceous, e ʻimi i kahi huahana meaʻai e like me DiatomaceousEarth Food Grade Powder hiki ke hoʻohana ʻia a puni nā holoholona.
Hiki nō hoʻi ke laha aku kekahi mau nematodes ʻona ʻole (nā ilo liʻiliʻi) i loko o nā wahi o ka māla mehana a pulu a hele pinepine ʻia e nā holoholona a me nā ʻauʻau. ʻAi nā nematodes i nā ʻōpala puaʻa. A i ka manawa e loaʻa ai kahi uhi hau ma ka honua, ua hoʻopau ʻia ka nui o ke kumu nui o nā ʻauʻau.
E ʻoluʻolu e nīnau i kāu kauka holoholona e pili ana i nā ʻano hana a me nā huahana i kūpono loa iā ʻoe a me kāu mau holoholona. ʻO kāu kauka lapaʻau kāu kumu maikaʻi loa no ka ʻike hou loa.
Pehea e mālama ai i ka nahu ʻeleʻele i nā ʻīlio
Loaʻa nā hoʻomākaukau maikaʻi mai ke kauka lapaʻau e like me ka pauka flea, shampoo, spray, a i ʻole nā papa. Pepehi lākou i nā ʻauʻau e noho nei a paʻakikī iā lākou ke hana hou. Hoʻomaka koke ko lākou hopena me ka hoʻomaka ʻana o ka mālama ʻana, akā naʻe, pono e hana hou i nā manawa he nui. Hōʻike ka mea lapaʻau pehea a pehea e hoʻohana pinepine ai i nā lāʻau lapaʻau.
Pehea e hōʻoluʻolu ai a mālama paha i ka dermatitis allergy flea i nā ʻīlio
ʻO ka mea pōʻino, ʻaʻole hiki ke hoʻōla ʻia ka flea allergy dermatitis (FAD) ponoʻī - ʻo ke kauka holoholona wale nō ke hoʻēmi i nā hōʻailona. Ma waho aʻe o nā parasiticides, nā huahana mālama ʻili, a me nā ʻaila, aia ke koho o ka desensitization.
Pehea e mālama ai i nā ʻauʻau ma nā ʻīlio
No laila, pono e hoʻohana ʻia ka pale peʻa i ʻae ʻia no nā ʻīlio. ʻO kahi lāʻau lapaʻau i hoʻāʻo ʻia a hoʻāʻo ʻia ma mua o 20 mau makahiki ʻo Frontline Spray, e hana koke ana ma hope o ka noi ʻana a kūpono i nā makahiki āpau.
Pehea ka lōʻihi ma hope o ka mālama ʻana i ka peʻa e hiki ai iaʻu ke hānai i kaʻu ʻīlio?
Hiki iā ʻoe ke hoʻopaʻa, hahau, a hoʻopaʻa i kāu pipi e like me ka manawa maʻamau ke maloʻo ka pūnaewele noi. I kēia manawa, ʻaʻole pono e mālama ʻia nā holoholona mālama ʻia a ʻaʻole e ʻae ʻia nā keiki e pāʻani a moe pū me lākou.
