Akufuneki kuphela ukuba abantu balungelelanise ixesha elibandayo, izinja nazo - ngakumbi izinja zedolophu okanye imizekelo enomdla kakhulu kwingqele - ngokuqhelekileyo kufuneka inkathalo kunye nengqalelo ngakumbi ebusika. Ukuqinisekisa ukuba inja yakho idlula ebusika isempilweni, iFederal Veterinary Association iye yashwankathela eyona mibuzo ibalulekileyo malunga nezinja ebusika.
Ngaba inja yam inokungenwa yingqele?
Uyilo okanye ukulala kumatye abandayo okanye kwindawo ebandayo kunokukhokelela kwizifo ezifana nosulelo lwesinyi okanye ukuncipha kwamajoni omzimba ezinjeni. Oku kunokukhuthaza usulelo lwendlela yokuphefumla kuba iintsholongwane okanye iibhaktheriya emva koko zinexesha elilula. Unyango olujolisiweyo lwesilwanyana esigulayo lunokuba yimfuneko. Xa ubushushu bungaphantsi kwe-zero, oku kulandelayo kusebenza: Hlala uqhubeka ukuze inja ingabi ne-hypothermic okanye ibambe umkhuhlane. Emva kokuhamba kwimozulu ebandayo, emanzi, yinto efanelekileyo ukunika inja yakho i-towel rub kwaye uyishiye kwindawo efudumeleyo ukuze yome.
Ndazi njani ukuba inja yam iyabanda?
Ukuba inja ayikunyamezeli kakuhle ingqele kwaye iziva ingaphilanga, iya kungcangcazela, ikhuphe umsila wayo, ihambe ngokundindisholo, kwaye idla ngokucotha ngakumbi. Izinja - ngakumbi ezo zineengubo ezimfutshane kwaye azikho i-undercoat - zinokukhawuleza zibanda kwaye zibe ne-hypothermic xa zingahambi. Xa kubanda ngokwenene, inja akufuneki ilinde naphi na ixesha elide kakhulu – nokuba kukwinqwelo-mafutha engatshisiyo okanye kumgangatho obandayo ophambi kwevenkile enkulu.
Ngaba idyasi yenja iyimfuneko ebusika?
Izinja ezisempilweni ngokuqhelekileyo ayifuni idyasi okanye ijezi xa uhamba ngaphandle ebusika. Naluphi na uhlobo lwempahla kunokuba lucaphukisa izinja, lunokuthintela inkululeko yokuhamba. Kwizilwanyana ezindala okanye ezigulayo, iintlobo ngoboya obufutshane kwaye akukho undercoat, idyasi yenja ingaba luncedo kwiimeko ezizodwa.
Xa uthenga, kufuneka ubeke ingqalelo kwizinto ezikhanyayo, ezilungele ulusu, kunye nezinto eziphefumlayo. Uboya okanye umqhaphu abunamanzi kwaye ngoko ke awufanelekanga. Xa ukhetha ingubo yenja efanelekileyo, eyona nto into ebalulekileyo kukulingana kwaye hayi uphawu. Idyasi yenja kufuneka ilingane kakuhle kwaye mayingathinteli naliphi na ilungu lomzimba okanye ihlikihle esikhumbeni. Kodwa akufuneki ukuba ikhululeke kakhulu, kuba ayizukufudumala ngokwaneleyo okanye inja iya kubambelela kwizinto okanye ematyholweni. Kwiqabaka eqatha, kuyacetyiswa ngokubanzi ukugcina uhambo lufutshane kunye nokuqinisekisa ukuba inja isoloko ihamba. Kuyo nayiphi na imeko, izinja ezingcangcazelayo zezokufudumala.
Ngaba izinja kufuneka zinxibe izihlangu zezinja (iibhutsi) kwikhephu kunye nomkhenkce?
Inqina lenja lomelele ngokwendalo, kodwa iipads zezinye izinja zibuthathaka kwaye zithambile. Ukuhlolwa rhoqo kubalulekile. Kwizinja ezinamaphepha athambileyo okanye aqhekekileyo, kunokuba sengqiqweni ukubeka iibhutsi kwizilwanyana xa kukho umkhenkce nekhephu esixekweni. Ezi zikhusela kumkhenkce obukhali kunye netyuwa yendlela.
Ngaba inja idinga ukhathalelo olukhethekileyo lwezithupha ebusika?
Ingxaki enkulu ebusika ityuwa yendlela. Ityuwa ngokukodwa yingxaki yeebhuni ezomileyo, eziqhekekileyo kuba zinokungena kwiintanda kwaye zibangele intlungu. Ukongezelela, iipads ezithintekayo zihlala zikhohliswa ngokukhawuleza emva kokuhamba, oko kunokukhokelela kwiingxaki zesisu. Ngoko ke kufuneka uhlikihle amanqina enja ngegrisi yokusenga okanye iVaseline phambi kokuba uhambe kwaye uhlambulule intsalela ngocoselelo ngamanzi ashushu ekhaya. Izinja ezininzi ziyathandabuza ukuba zichukunyiswe iipads zazo, nto leyo eyenza ukuzihlikihla kunzima. Uqeqesho kule nto lunokuba luncedo ukwenzela ukuba iibhola kunye neendawo ezinoboya phakathi zingaphathwa ngaphambi kokuhamba.
Yintoni ekufuneka ndiyiqwalasele emva kokuhamba ebusika?
"Ibhafu yeenyawo" edikidiki yenja emva kokuhamba yanele ukuyikhupha ityuwa. Emva koko, iibhola kufuneka zixutywe kwakhona ngamafutha anamafutha. Ukuba iipads zicatshukiswa kabuhlungu ngetyuwa, inja iya kukhotha iindawo ngokugqithiseleyo, ikhuthaza ukucaphuka ngakumbi kunye nokuvuvukala. Ukongezelela, uthatha ityuwa eninzi, enokubangela ukucaphuka kwesisu. Ukuthintela ukubunjwa kweqhwa kakhulu phakathi kweepads, iinwele zinokufinyezwa apho.
Ngaba imozulu emanzi iyingozi ngakumbi ebusika?
Inja emanzi kufuneka yomiswe ebusika kwaye emva koko igcinwe endlwini kwindawo efudumeleyo, eyomileyo, engenalo idrafti de yome ngokupheleleyo. Izinja ezimanzi akufanele zilale kwiindawo ezibandayo ezifana nelitye okanye i-tile, njengoko oku kunokukhuthaza ukudumba kwemiphunga okanye isinyi.
Ngaba uhambahamba ebumnyameni?
Ebumnyameni, abantu nezilwanyana bafanele banxibe izinto ezibonisa ukukhanya ukuze abaqhubi bazibone kwaye bagcine umgama wabo. Iikhola ezibonakalisayo, iikhola ezikhanyayo, okanye izibonisi ezicofayo ziyindlela enye, kunye ne-harness epheleleyo enezibonisi yenye. Izibonisi ezidanyazayo kunokuba zicaphukisa izinja kwaye zinokukhokelela kwiingxaki zonxibelelwano kunye nomnye. Ngoko ke kungcono ukususa izixhobo zokhuseleko xa udlala nezinye izinja okanye kwiindawo ezivulekileyo, ezikhuselweyo.
Ngaba kufuneka ndondle inja yam ngokwahlukileyo ebusika?
Izinja ezichitha ixesha elininzi ngaphandle zisebenzisa amandla amaninzi ukuze zifudumale ebusika. Kwizilwanyana ezinjalo, umlinganiselo wesondlo kunye nomgangatho kufuneka wohluke kwaye ube phezulu ebusika kunasehlotyeni. Kwiinja ezininzi zentsapho okanye izinja zendlu, ukubanda akunandima ekutyeni kwazo kuba zingaphandle kuphela ixesha elilinganiselweyo.
Kodwa lumka: kwanezinja ezinoboya obufutshane kwaye akukho ngubo yangaphantsi idinga amandla angakumbi ebusika ukuze zilawule ubushushu bazo. Oku kungasebenza nakwizilwanyana ezichetyiweyo (emva koqhaqho okanye uhlolo lweultrasound) okanye kwizilwanyana ezigulayo. Buza ugqirha wakho wezilwanyana ngokuthe ngqo malunga noku.
Ngaba inja yam ingatya ikhephu?
Uninzi lwezinja ziyakuthanda ukukhenkceza ekhephuni, kwaye ezininzi ziyakuthanda ukutya ikhephu, kodwa ayizizo zonke izinja zenja ezinokuphatha ukutya okubandayo. Izinja ezinovakalelo ezitya ikhephu zinokufumana isisu esibuhlungu, isisu esibuhlungu, okanye i-snow gastritis enesifo sohudo kunye nokuhlanza. Ukuba ityuwa yendlela yongezwa kwikhephu, inokubangela ukucaphuka okukhulu kunye nomonakalo kwisisu senja. Kungcono ukuba unike inja yakho amanzi aneleyo ngaphambi kokuba uhambe ebusika ukuze inganxanwa kakhulu ngaphandle. Kufuneka uphinde uyeke ukugibisela inja yakho iibhola zekhephu. Kumnandi, kodwa kukukhuthaza ukuba utye ikhephu kuphela.
