Ithetha ntoni i-coronavirus entsha ezinjeni nasezikatini? Iimpendulo zeyona mibuzo ibalulekileyo.
Ngaba izinja kunye neekati zingayifumana i-Covid-19?
Ngokwento esiyaziyo: hayi. Ngaphandle kobhubhani wabantu, akukho nasinye isilwanyana sasekhaya esichongiwe ukuba sine-Covid-19.
Ngokwesiqhelo, ii-coronavirus zikhethekileyo kuhlobo olunye okanye ezimbalwa. Zonke iintlobo zezilwanyana zine-coronavirus yazo-ehambelana nayo kakuhle kwiimeko ezininzi. Kuphela kuxa ii-coronavirus ziwela ngokukhawuleza kwesi sithintelo sohlobo apho uhlobo olutsha lwesifo, olufana nesi sijongene nalo ngoku, lusasazeka ngokukhawuleza. Okwangoku kukho ukurhanelwa ukuba i-SARS-CoV-2 entsha yasulelwa ukusuka kumalulwane isiya ebantwini. Akufane kwenzeke ukuba intsholongwane itsibe ukusuka kolunye uhlobo iye kolunye (umz. ukusuka ebantwini ukuya ezinjeni) okwesibini.
Nangona ii-coronavirus zikwachaphazela izinja kunye neekati, zezohlobo olwahlukileyo kusapho olukhulu lwee-coronavirus (Coronaviridae) kwaye aziqhelekanga ukubeka isoyikiso ebantwini.
Izifo ze-coronavirus ezifumaneka kwizinja kunye neekati esihlala sizibona kunyango lwezilwanyana zibangelwa yi-alpha coronaviruses. I-SARS-CoV-2, i-COVID-19 pathogen, yinto ebizwa ngokuba yi-beta coronavirus, okt inxulumene kuphela nezilwanyana zethu zasekhaya. Ii-coronavirus eziqhelekileyo zezinja kunye neekati zihlala zikhokelela kurhudo, apho izilwanyana zoyise ngaphandle kweengxaki kwiimeko ezininzi. Kwiikati, iintsholongwane ziyakwazi ukuguquka kwiimeko ezinqabileyo (malunga ne-5% yazo zonke iikati ezosulelwe yi-feline coronaviruses) kwaye zibangele i-FIP ebulalayo (i-Feline Infectious Peritonitis). Ezi kati ezine-FIP azisosuleli kwaye azibeki sisongelo ebantwini.
Ndingayifumana i-SARS-CoV-2 kwiNja yam okanye kwiKati?
Izazinzulu ngoku zicinga ukuba izilwanyana zasekhaya azidlali indima enkulu ekusasazeni le ntsholongwane.
I-coronavirus entsha i-SARS-CoV2 inokuphila kwindawo ukuya kuthi ga kwiintsuku ezili-9. Ukuba isilwanyana sakho sasekhaya siye sadibana nomntu owosulelekileyo, intsholongwane inokuhlala yosulela eboyeni, eluswini, okanye kwimifinya. Usulelo ke ngoko luya kuba lunokwenzeka ngokungathi uchukumisa omnye umphezulu one-coronavirus kuyo-njengesibambo socango. Imithetho yococeko ecetyiswa ngokubanzi, ekwanceda ekukhuseleni ukusasazwa kwee-parasites okanye ezifanayo, kufuneka ke ngoko iqwalaselwe:
- Ukuhlamba izandla ngokucokisekileyo ngesepha (okanye isibulali ntsholongwane) emva kokudibana nesilwanyana
kuphephe ukukhotha ubuso okanye izandla zakho; ukuba kunjalo, hlamba kwangoko - Ungavumeli inja okanye ikati yakho ilale ebhedini
- Coca ngokucokisekileyo iibhedi, izitya kunye nezinto zokudlala rhoqo
Kwenzeka ntoni kwiNja yam okanye kwikati ukuba ndiyagula nge-Covid-19 okanye ndivalelwe?
Kuba kunokucingelwa ukuba inani elikhulu lethu liya kosulelwa yi-SARS-CoV-2 ngaxa lithile, lo ngumbuzo ekufuneka wonke umnini wesilwanyana acinge ngawo kwasekuqaleni.
Okwangoku (ngoMatshi 16, 2020) akukho sindululo sokuvalelwa kwezilwanyana. Ngoko ke iikati ezizulazula simahla zisavunyelwa ngaphandle kwaye izinja zinokufakwa kukhathalelo lomnye umntu okwethutyana ukuba azikwazi ukuzijonga. Ukuba wena okanye amanye amalungu osapho unokukhathalela isilwanyana sakho sasekhaya ngokwakho, akunyanzelekanga ukuba usinikezele.
Ukuba uyagula, kufuneka uhambisane ngokupheleleyo nemithetho yococeko echazwe ngasentla xa usebenzisana nesilwanyana sakho kwaye, ukuba kunokwenzeka, ugqoke imaski yobuso (isincomo se-WSAVA). Kwakhona ukuze ungaqhubeki nomthwalo wakho obuthathaka amajoni omzimba. Ukuba uvalelwe yedwa okanye uyagula, awusavunyelwa ukuba uhambe nenja yakho! Ukuba unesitiya sakho, inja inokwenza ishishini layo apho ukuba kuyimfuneko. Ukuba oku akunakwenzeka, kuya kufuneka uququzelele umntu ukuba ahambe nenja yakho. Kungcono ukwenza amalungiselelo oncedo ngaphambi kokuba kuvele imeko kaxakeka.
