Xa ubuza abanikazi bezilwanyana zasekhaya ukuba yintoni ebakhathaza kakhulu malunga neenyanga zasehlotyeni, isihloko esihlala sivela kakhulu ziintakumba!
Ezi zinambuzane zincinci, ezimnyama zikhetha amaqondo okushisa angama-65-80 kunye namanqanaba omswakama angama-75-85 ekhulwini - ngoko ke kwezinye iindawo zelizwe, iintakumba kwizinja zingaphezu kwengxaki yasehlotyeni. Kwiindawo ezininzi ezisemazantsi e-United States, iintakumba zinokusinda unyaka wonke kwaye zikhathaze isilwanyana sakho.
Izinja zihlala zosulelwa ziintakumba ngokudibana nezinye izilwanyana okanye ngokudibana neentakumba kwindawo leyo. Imilenze yangasemva enamandla yesi sinambuzane isenza sikwazi ukutsiba ukusuka kwenye indawo ukuya kwelinye okanye ukusuka kummandla osingqongileyo ukuya kuloo mkhosi. (Iintakumba azinamaphiko, ngoko azikwazi ukubhabha.)
Ukulunywa ziintakumba kunokubangela ukurhawuzelelwa kwindawo leyo, nto leyo enokuba nzima kakhulu kwizilwanyana ezibuthathaka okanye ezo zingadibaniyo neentakumba. Ingakhokelela ekukrweleni ngokugqithisileyo kunye nokuhlafuna, kubangele ukulahleka kweenwele, ukudumba, kunye nosulelo lwesibini lolusu. Ezinye izilwanyana zasekhaya zi-hypersensitive kumathe entakumba kwaye zirhawuzelelwa yonke imizimba yazo ngokulunywa nje kwentakumba enye.
Uziqaphela njani iintakumba ezinjeni
Wazi njani ukuba iintakumba zibangela ukurhawuzelelwa ( pruritus in vet jargon )? Ngokungafaniyo nokugrumba, i-demodex encinci ye-microscopic okanye i-scabies mites, iintakumba zihlala zibonwa zihamba phezu kwesikhumba.
Iintakumba zinobhedu olumnyama ngombala kwaye zilingana nentloko yephini. Abakuthandi ukukhanya, ngoko ke ithuba elihle lokubona iintakumba kwinja kukujonga kwiindawo ezinoboya, isisu, kunye namathanga angaphakathi.
“Ukungcola kweentakumba” kusenokuba luphawu lweentakumba enjeni. Ilindle leentakumba likhangeleka njengamachokoza epepile emnyama athe saa eluswini. Ukuba ubona ilindle leentakumba - eneneni ilindle lentakumba elenziwe ngegazi eletyiswayo - khupha elinye kwisilwanyana kwaye ulibeke kwitawuli yephepha elimanzi. Ukuba emva kwemizuzu embalwa amachaphaza amancinci asasazeka njengegazi elincinci, ngokuqinisekileyo bubumdaka obumdaka kwaye isilwanyana sakho sasekhaya sineentakumba.
Yeyiphi eyona ndlela yokuphelisa iintakumba enjeni?
Emva kokuba uzimisele ukuba inja yakho ineentakumba, kukho izinto ezimbalwa onokuzenza ukuze uncede isilwanyana sakho.
Ulawulo lweentakumba ngomlomo nangezihloko
Iintakumba ziyacaphukisa kwaye ziyazingisa. Nangona kunjalo, intakumba yenja kunye neepilisi zamakhalane kunye nolunye unyango lwezinja lubonakalise ukuba yenye yeendlela ezikhawulezayo zokususa isilwanyana sakho sasekhaya kwiintakumba.
Amanye amayeza asebenza kuphela ngokuchasene neentakumba zabantu abadala, amanye ngokuchasene namaqanda eentakumba, imibungu, kunye neentakumba zabantu abadala, ngoko ke kubalulekile ukuthenga iyeza elifanelekileyo. Abanye badibanisa ukulawulwa kwe-flea kunye nokuthintela i-heartworm kunyango olunye. Uya kufumanisa ukuba abanye bafuna incwadi kagqirha ngelixa abanye bengayifuni.
Ngoko ke loluphi olona nyango lulungileyo lwentakumba yomlomo kwizinja? Oko kuxhomekeke kwiimfuno zomntu ngamnye wenja yakho. Thetha nogqirha wakho wezilwanyana malunga nokuba loluphi ukhetho olulungele isilwanyana sakho.
Iyeza elimiselweyo lentakumba
Kukho iindidi ngeendidi zeemveliso zolawulo lweentakumba kwimarike namhlanje, kodwa iintakumba ezintsha ezichazwe ngugqirha kunye neemveliso zolawulo lwamakhalane ekugqibeleni zenza ukuba ulawulo lweentakumba lungaphazamisi iibrendi ezidumileyo nezisebenzayo.
Thetha nogqirha wakho wezilwanyana malunga nothintelo lwentakumba kunye namakhalane ezinjeni, njengoko uninzi lwezi lufuna incwadi kagqirha. Amayeza kagqirha yenye yeendlela ezilungileyo zokubulala iintakumba ngokukhawuleza.
I-Bravecto (i-Fluralaner) ibulala i-fleas kwiiyure ezimbini kwaye ihlala kwiinyanga ezintathu, ngelixa iimveliso eziqukethe i-Spinosad (i-Comfortis, i-Trifexis) isebenza kwimizuzu engama-30 kwaye ihlala inyanga.
Olunye olu nyango lwentakumba alulonzakalisanga intakumba endala, kunoko luthintela amaqanda ayo ekubeni aqanduselwe, ngaloo ndlela luphazamisa umjikelo wobomi bentakumba. Ekubeni intakumba ingakwazi ukuzala, inani leentakumba liya kuthi shwaka ekugqibeleni ngaphandle kokuba isilwanyana sasekhaya sidibana rhoqo neentakumba ezintsha.
Kwiimozulu ezishushu, unyango lwentakumba kunye namakhalane kwizinja luqhelekile unyaka wonke, kodwa kwezinye iimeko zemozulu, unyango kufuneka luqale ekuqaleni kwentwasahlobo, phambi kokuba kuqale ixesha leentakumba.
Amayeza angaphaya kwekhawuntara okunyanga iintakumba ezinjeni
Kukho nezinye iimveliso ezininzi eziya kubulala iintakumba kwisilwanyana sasekhaya ezingadingi myalelo kagqirha. Nangona kunjalo, i-downside kukuba ezi mveliso zinokuthi zingasebenzi kakuhle kuneemveliso ezichazwe ngugqirha.
La mayeza entakumba angaphaya kwekhawuntara abandakanya ishampu zentakumba, umgubo wentakumba, izitshizi zentakumba, iikhola zentakumba, unyango lwentakumba ngomlomo, kunye neemveliso ezibonwayo. Oogqirha bezilwanyana abaninzi baxela ukuba izigulana zabo zisenazo iintakumba emva kokusebenzisa ezi mveliso zithengwayo, kodwa kukwakho nophononongo oluhle oluvela kubanini bezilwanyana zasekhaya kwezinye zezi mveliso.
Umzekelo, iCapstar yipilisi ebulala iintakumba zabantu abadala kwaye ithathwa ngomlomo. Iqalisa ukusebenza kwimizuzu engama-30 ize ibulale ngaphezu kwama-90 ekhulwini azo zonke iintakumba kwiiyure ezine. Isetyenziselwa ukunyanga uhlaselo lweentakumba.
Kwizilwanyana ezingadibaniyo namathe eentakumba (i-flea bite hypersensitivity), kufuneka ukhethe i-agent ekwasebenza ngempumelelo kwiintakumba zabantu abadala, njengoko zisenako ukusiluma isilwanyana. Kwizinja ezinobuntununtunu bentakumba, iimveliso ezinentakumba (ikhola yeSeresto, iVectra 3D) yeyona nto ilungileyo yokugcina iintakumba zingalunywa.
Ishampu intakumba inja
Kukho iintlobo ngeentlobo zeentakumba kunye neeshampu zamakhalane ezinjeni kunye neekati emarikeni ezinokusebenza kakuhle xa zisetyenziswa ngokuchanekileyo. Iishampu zentakumba zezinja zinokuqulatha inani lezithako ezisebenzayo okanye ezingasebenziyo.
Amantshontsho amancinci kufuneka ahlanjwe kuphela kwishampu yenja engeyiyo inetyhefu. Nangona kunjalo, kuya kufuneka uqwalasele ukuba isilwanyana sakho siyakwazi ukunyamezela ukuba simanzi kwaye sifakwe kwimizuzu emihlanu ukuya kwelishumi kuba kuthatha ixesha elingakanani ukuba i-shampoo ingene.
Emva kokuhlamba kakuhle okufudumeleyo, uya kuba uzibulele iintakumba kwaye ungasebenzisa ikama yentakumba kunye nekhalane ukususa iintakumba ezifileyo enjeni yakho. Nangona kunjalo, iishampu zentakumba aziyi kukhusela inja yakho kolunye uhlaselo lwentakumba.
ISILUMKISO: Ioyile yomthi weti inetyhefu. Sukuyisebenzisa ioyile yomthi weti ukulawula iintakumba kwiikati okanye ezinjeni.
Qonda umjikelo wobomi beentakumba
Kodwa ukufuna kwakho ukususa iintakumba akupheleli apho – kufuneka unyange indawo ekufutshane. Akwanelanga ukufefa umgubo wentakumba kwisilo-qabane sakho; akwanelanga ukucoca indlu ngokucokisekileyo; ukubeka ikhola yentakumba kwisilwanyana sakho sasekhaya okanye ukusebenzisa unyango lweentakumba akwanelanga.
Ukuqonda ukuba lusebenza njani ukhetho ngalunye lonyango nokuba kutheni kufuneka kwakhona unyange okusingqongileyo, kufuneka siqale siqonde umjikelo wobomi bentakumba. Unyango olwahlukeneyo kunye neemveliso zothintelo zisebenza kwiindawo ezahlukeneyo zalo mjikelo wobomi.
Umjikelo wobomi bentakumba ubandakanya amanqanaba aliqela: iqanda, umbungu, i-pupa (iqokobhe), kunye nentakumba yabantu abadala. Kuthatha ixesha elingakanani ukudlula kulo mjikelo kuxhomekeke kwiimeko zokusingqongileyo ezifana neqondo lobushushu, ukufuma, kunye nobukho bendwendwe enesondlo. Umjikelo wobomi unokuthatha iiveki ezimbini ukuya kunyaka.
Umamkeli wentakumba sisilwanyana esinegazi elishushu njengenja okanye ikati (okanye umntu). Amanqanaba ahlukeneyo eentakumba ayakwazi ukumelana neqondo lomkhenkce. Imazi intakumba endala ihlala kwindawo yayo kangangeentsuku ukuya kwiiveki. Ngeli xesha, ifunxa igazi lesilwanyana kabini ukuya kathathu kwaye izalela amaqanda angama-20 ukuya kwangama-30 ngosuku. Ngethuba lobomi bakhe unokubeka amaqanda angamakhulu aliqela. La maqanda awela kwisilwanyana sasekhaya kwaye aphelele eyadini, phezu kwebhedi, kwikhaphethi, naphi na apho isilwanyana sikuso.
Amaqanda ke aqhubeleka nokuphuhla apho ahlala khona. Ekubeni zimalunga ne-1/12 kuphela ubukhulu bezilwanyana ezikhulileyo, zinokukhula nakwiintanda ezincinci emgangathweni naphakathi kweentanda zekhaphethi. Imibungu iqandusela emaqandeni. Le mibungu mincinci efana nemibungu ihlala phakathi kweentsinga zekhaphethi, kwiintanda eziphantsi, nangaphandle kokusingqongileyo. Zitya izinto eziphilayo, i-dander, kunye nenkunkuma enegazi yeentakumba zabantu abadala.
Umbungu uyakhula, unyibilike kabini, emva koko wenze i-cocoon apho uphuphuma khona kwaye ulinde ixesha elifanelekileyo lokuqandusela kwisilwanyana esikhulileyo. Aba nodoli abaxhathisi kakhulu kwaye bakhuselwe ngukhokho wabo. Bangaphila ixesha elide, belinde de iimeko zokusingqongileyo kunye nokufumaneka komncedisi kulungile. Emva koko ziphuma eqokobheni xa zisiva ukufudumala, ukungcangcazela, kunye nekharbon diokside ephumayo, konke oku kubonisa ukuba kukho umntu okufuphi. Intakumba endala esandul’ ukuqanduselwa inokutsiba ngoko nangoko kundwendwe olukufutshane.
Phantsi kweemeko ezifanelekileyo, intakumba inokuwugqiba umjikelo wobomi bayo bonke kangangeentsuku ezili-14. Khawucinge nje ngamashumi amawaka ezi ndlavini zincinane ezinokuvela phantsi kweemeko ezifanelekileyo.
Ukwazi lo mjikelezo wobomi, umntu uyasiqonda isizathu sokuba kuye kwahlala kubalulekile ukunyanga zombini isilwanyana esisingethekileyo kunye nendawo yangaphakathi nangaphandle ukuze ulawule ngokupheleleyo inani leentakumba.
Kwakhona kufuneka uphathe indlu kunye nommandla ojikelezayo.
Indlela yokuphatha iintakumba kwindawo leyo
Ngalo naluphi na unyango intakumba, kuyimfuneko ukunyanga zonke izilwanyana ekhaya ukuze uphumelele ngokupheleleyo. Ukongeza, kuya kufuneka ukuba uphathe ingaphakathi kunye nangaphandle ngokunjalo.
Unyango lwendlu
Xa unyango lwangaphakathi, kubalulekile ukuhlamba zonke iibhedi emanzini ashushu, anesepha. Yonke imigangatho enekhaphethi kufuneka icocwe ngokucokisekileyo kwaye ibhegi yokufunxa ilahlwe, okanye umgqomo ulahlwe kwaye ingxowa yenkunkuma ikhutshwe ngaphandle. Ukucoca ikhaphethi ngomphunga nako kunokubulala eminye imibungu. Nangona kunjalo, khumbula ukuba ukucoca kunye nokuhlamba ikhaphethi kuya kushiya ipesenti elungileyo yeentakumba eziphila ngasemva, ngoko ke unyango lweekhemikhali lunokufuneka.
Indlu yonke ngoku inokunyangwa iintakumba. Kukho iinketho ezininzi, kubandakanywa nebulizers ezisebenza kakhulu. Iimveliso ezisekelwe kwi-asidi ye-boric ingaba yindlela ekhuselekileyo kumakhaya anabantwana abancinci okanye ezinye iimeko apho i-residu yekhemikhali ingumba. Ezona zisebenzayo ziimveliso eziqulathe zombini isithako esisebenzayo sokubulala iintakumba zabantu abadala kunye nesithako esisebenzayo sokubulala ezinye izigaba zomjikelo wobomi. Le yokugqibela ibizwa ngokuba sisilawuli sokukhula kwezinambuzane.
I-Methoprene yenye yolawulo lokukhula olunjalo. Kwezinye iimeko, ii-aerosol misters zinokungangeni kakuhle ngokwaneleyo ukuze zibulale zonke iintakumba ezifihlakeleyo kunye nemibungu. Olunye ukhetho lolawulo lwangaphakathi yimveliso ye-sodium borate esetyenziswe kwimigangatho ekhaphethi. Qhagamshelana nenkampani yomcimi wendawo ukuze uqikelele iindleko kunye nesiqinisekiso sokuba inkqubo iya kukhupha iintakumba kwindawo yakho.
Ulawulo lweentakumba lwangaphandle
Izitshizi kunye nezibulali zinambuzane ezifakwe kwipellets ziqhele ukusetyenziswa ukulawula iintakumba ngaphandle emva kokuba izindlu zezinja kunye neendlwana zicocwe ngokucokisekileyo. Ukulawula ukukhula kwezinambuzane lukhetho olulungileyo nalapha. I-Pyriproxyfen izinzile ekukhanyeni kwelanga kwaye ihlala ixesha elide ngaphandle kune-methoprene.
Kubalulekile ukuqaphela ukuba i-Arhente yoKhuseleko lweNdalo (EPA) iye yavala i-insecticide chlorpyrifos (Dursban). Imveliso yaphela ngoDisemba 2000.
I-Diatomaceous Earth, enye indlela engeyiyo ityhefu, inokusebenza kakhulu kwaye ikhuselekile ukuba isetyenziswe ngaphakathi nakwiigadi zemifuno kunye nezixhobo zokudlala zangaphandle zabantwana. Xa ukhetha imveliso yomhlaba we-diatomaceous, khangela imveliso yebakala lokutya efana ne-DiatomaceousEarth Food Grade Powder enokuthi isetyenziswe malunga nezilwanyana zasekhaya.
Iinematodes ezithile ezingeyotyhefu (intshulube ezincinci) zinokunwenwa kwiindawo zegadi ezifudumeleyo nezifumileyo nezisoloko zisenziwa zizilo-qabane neentakumba. Iinematodes zitya imibungu yeentakumba. Yaye xa kukho ikhephu eligqunyiweyo emhlabeni, uninzi lomthombo oyintloko weentakumba luyaphela.
Qiniseka ukuba udibana nogqirha wakho wezilwanyana malunga neendlela kunye neemveliso ezikusebenzela ngcono kunye nezilwanyana zakho zasekhaya. Ugqirha wakho wezilwanyana ngowona mthombo wakho wolwazi lwangoku lwentakumba.
Unyangwa njani ukulunywa ziintakumba ezinjeni
Amalungiselelo asebenzayo avela kugqirha wezilwanyana ayafumaneka njengomgubo wentakumba, ishampu, isitshizi, okanye iipilisi. Ziyazibulala iintakumba ezikhoyo kwaye zenza kube nzima ukuba zizale. Umphumo wabo uvela ngokukhawuleza ngokuqala kwonyango, nangona kunjalo, kufuneka iphindwe ngamaxesha amaninzi. Ugqirha wezilwanyana uchaza ukuba amayeza asetyenziswa kangakanani kwaye kangaphi.
Indlela yokuthomalalisa okanye ukunyanga i-flea allergy dermatitis kwizinja
Ngelishwa, i-flea allergy dermatitis (FAD) ngokwayo ayinakunyangeka - ngugqirha wezilwanyana kuphela onokuthomalalisa iimpawu. Ukongeza kwii-parasiticides, iimveliso zokhathalelo lwesikhumba, kunye nezithambiso, kukho ukhetho lokuphelisa umvandedwa.
Indlela yokuphatha iintakumba kwiinjana
Ke ngoko, ukhuseleko lweentakumba oluvunyiweyo ngokukodwa kwiinjana kufuneka lusetyenziswe. Iyeza lentakumba namakhalane eliye lazanywa laza lavavanywa ngaphezulu kweminyaka engama-20 yiFrontline Spray, esebenza kanye emva kokufakwa kwesicelo kwaye ilungele yonke iminyaka.
Kude kube nini emva konyango lwentakumba endinokuyifuya inja yam?
Ungaphatha, ukubetha, kwaye ubambe isilwanyana sakho sasekhaya njengesiqhelo nje ukuba indawo yesicelo isomile. Okwangoku, izilwanyana eziphathwayo akufanele ziphathwe kwaye abantwana akufanele bavunyelwe ukudlala okanye ukulala nazo.
