Nui nā pōpoki maikaʻi i ka hūnā ʻana i ko lākou ʻeha. Hiki i nā hiʻohiʻona helehelena, ka ʻano, a me ke kūlana ke hāʻawi i nā hōʻailona e pili ana i ka pilikia o kāu pōpoki - ʻoiai inā ʻaʻole ia e hele a puni me ka leo nui.
ʻOiaʻiʻo, ʻaʻohe makemake e ʻeha kāna pōpoki ponoʻī. ʻO ka mea pōʻino, i kekahi manawa ʻaʻole maʻalahi ke ʻike pololei i nā hōʻailona o ka ʻeha i loko o kahi pōpoki. No ka mea: he poʻe akamai i ka peʻe!
No ke aha ia? ʻO ka manaʻo e hūnā i ko lākou ʻeha i manaʻo ʻia mai ka wā wildcat. ʻO nā holoholona maʻi a ʻeha paha he mea maʻalahi ia no nā mea ʻaihue. No laila, ʻaʻole i ʻoi aku ka nāwaliwali o ka pōpoki ʻāhiu nāwaliwali iā ia iho akā ua pilikia nō hoʻi ʻo ia e hōʻole ʻia e kona mau hoa pōpoki a haʻalele.
ʻOiaʻiʻo, ʻaʻole loaʻa kēia pilikia i kēia lā. Ma hope o nā mea a pau, ʻoiaʻiʻo, e mālama pono ʻoe i kāu kitty iā ʻoe iho inā e hōʻike ākea ʻo ia i kona ʻeha, ʻeā? Eia nō naʻe, he ʻano hohonu kēia ʻano o kāu pōpoki, ʻaʻole i holoi ʻia i nā kenekulia o ka noho pū ʻana me nā kānaka.
Wahi a Hill's Pet, hiki i kāu pipi ke ʻike i nā kitties ʻē aʻe - a i ʻole nā kānaka - i loko o ka hale e hoʻokūkū ana no ka wai, ka meaʻai, a me ke aloha a ʻaʻole makemake e hōʻike i ka nāwaliwali iā lākou.
Ua pilikia ko'u popoki? ʻO kēia ke ʻano āu e ʻike ai
Eia nō naʻe, aia kekahi mau hiʻohiʻona e hōʻike ana e pilikia ana kāu kitty i kēia manawa. Wahi a ka puke "Catster", pono ʻoe e nānā pono i kēia mau hōʻailona i kāu pōpoki:
- Hōʻike ia i nā loli i ke ʻano, no ka laʻana, lilo i ka hoʻomaha a i ʻole ka huhū iki;
- ʻaʻole hiki ke hoʻopā hou ʻia;
- noho malie a kekee;
- moe hoʻokahi wale nō kūlana - no ka mea ʻo kēia paha ka ʻeha liʻiliʻi loa;
peʻe a haʻalele i nā wahi mālamalama; - ʻo ka meo a me ke kani ʻana a i ʻole ka leo maʻamau;
- liʻiliʻi loa i kekahi mau wahi o ke kino - a ʻaʻole mālama iki i ko lākou hulu;
- he nānā ʻole a i ʻole;
- loaʻa nā pilikia me ka pahu litter.
ʻO nā hōʻailona ʻē aʻe o ka ʻeha i loko o nā pōpoki, ʻo ia ka ʻopa, pau ka ʻai ʻana, ka paʻi mau ʻana o ka huelo, a me ka hoʻonui ʻana i ka mimi. Hiki i kāu pōpoki ke hōʻike i kēia mau ʻano hana a pau no ka mea e ʻeha kekahi mau neʻe a paʻi paha.
Hōʻike ʻia ke ʻano o ka helehelena inā e ʻeha ka pōpoki
Hiki i nā hiʻohiʻona o kāu puki ke hāʻawi i ka ʻike e pili ana i ka pilikia. No kēia hopena, ua hoʻomohala ka poʻe ʻepekema i kahi paona kūikawā ma kahi o hoʻokahi makahiki i hala aku nei e hiki ke hoʻohana ʻia e hoʻokaʻawale i nā hiʻohiʻona maka o nā pōpoki.
ʻO ka "Feline Grimace Scale" - i unuhi maoli ʻia: cat grimace scale - hāʻawi i nā hiʻohiʻona o nā wāwae velvet i kekahi mau pae ʻeha. No ka laʻana, ma ka hapa nui o nā pōpoki i ʻike ʻia, ʻo nā pepeiao i hoʻohaʻahaʻa ʻia, nā maka haiki, a me nā ʻumi ʻumi keu he mau hōʻailona maʻamau o ka ʻeha nui.
Wahi a nā mea kākau, ua hoʻomohala kūikawā ʻia ka pālākiō no nā mea lapaʻau. Akā hiki iā ia ke kōkua i nā mea nona nā pōpoki e loiloi i ka wā ʻaʻole maikaʻi ka pōpoki a pono e ʻike i ke kauka.
Mai hāʻawi i kāu pōpoki Ibuprofen!
Mea nui: Inā manaʻo ʻoe e ʻeha paha kāu pōpoki, e lawe koke iā ia i ke kauka. Hiki iā ia ke kauoha i ka lāʻau hoʻomaha ʻeha. ʻAʻole pono ʻoe e hāʻawi i kāu mau lāʻau ʻeha kitty no nā kānaka maoli!
ʻO ka ʻeha o kāu pōpoki ma muli paha o ka ʻeha, ka maʻi, a i ʻole ka ʻeha mau mai ka ʻāʻī a i ʻole ka osteoarthritis. Ke hoʻi mai ʻoe mai ka vet me kāu pōpoki, no laila pono ʻoe e hoʻomaʻamaʻa i kona kaiapuni e like me ka hiki.
E hōʻoia hiki iā ia ke hele maʻalahi i kona wahi moe, ke kīʻaha meaʻai, a me ka pahu lepo. Eia kekahi, e ho'āʻo e hōʻoia i nā holoholona ʻē aʻe a i ʻole nā keiki i loko o ka hale ʻaʻole ʻino loa i ka kitty ʻeha. Ke kānalua ʻo ia, lawe ʻo ia iā ia iho i kahi palekana. Akā ʻaʻole ia e ʻeha ke mālama iā ia i ke kaumaha a me ka ʻeha ma mua.
