Kutheni inja yam enkulu incwina kakhulu?

Izinja azincwi zintlungu – azifuni ukuxelela amarhamncwa azo ngobuthathaka bazo. (Izinja azizingeli nje kuphela kodwa zikwakunye nezilwanyana ezizingelayo. Zityiwa ngamarhamncwa amakhulu, umz. rhoqo ngamahlosi namahlosi eIndiya.) Nangona kunjalo, ukuncwina okuphantsi okanye ukukhalaza nako kunokwenzeka xa kukho iintlungu.

Ukuba inja yakho isoloko incwina okanye incwina xa ilele – ukuba ihlala injalo, nanjengenjanana, izakuba “yinjana yomntu”. Kwanezinja zinokuncwina ngokwanelisayo xa zifumene indawo efanelekileyo. Kwabanye, kuvakala ngakumbi njengokuncwina okanye ukuncwina. Kwaye kwakhona, xa izinja ziphupha, ezinye zazo zenza ingxolo: ukukhonkotha okuthambileyo, ukuphola, okanye isandi sokwenyani sokuzingela xa umvundla wephupha ubaleka kuzo.

Ubudala benja bukwabalulekile ukuvavanya ukuncwina ezinjeni: izifo ezahlukeneyo ziza kumbuzo kwi-puppy kunomntu omdala. Ibukeka ngokwahlukileyo kunye nenja ephezulu. Ngaba inja iyancwina xa ilele ukuze iphumle? Xa evuka kwakhona emva kwexesha elide lokuphumla? Okanye inja yakho iyancwina ebuthongweni bayo? Ukuba ulele ngomqolo kunye nemilenze emine emoyeni, kunokwenzeka ukuba ibe yinguqulelo yakhe nganye yokuncwina okukhululekile. Ukuba uyancwina xa elele, ukukrokra kweentlungu kwandisa.

Ukuncwina kwinja endala

Kukho ezinye izizathu zokuncwina kwizinja ezikhulileyo.

• I-osteoarthritis inokuqala kwangoko. Ukuba inja ihlala ikhotha indawo enye, umlenze, umdibaniso, i-paw ethile, ingabonisa intlungu.
• Ukugcwala kwezihlunu nako kunokuqala kwangoko kwaye kukhokelela kwiintlungu.
• Ubuhlungu besisu ngengqiqo ebanzi bunokwenza inja incwine xa ilele. Ngenxa yokuba amalungu angaphakathi (esisu) atshintsha indawo yawo xa elele okanye kukho uxinzelelo oluvela ngaphantsi.
• Iintlungu zomqolo nazo zinokwenza inja ikhale. I-vertebral blockage okanye intlungu ngokubanzi kwicandelo lomzimba (indawo enikezelwa yi-spinal cord nerves) ihlala ichaphazela inkqubo ye-musculoskeletal system.

Kwakhona, kuxhomekeke kwimeko. Ukuncwina okwaneleyo kunokuvakala ngathi kukuncwina kwenja. Kodwa isenokuba yintlungu enxulumene nentlungu.

Incwina kwinja endala

Izinja ezimbalwa ezalupheleyo kunye nezinja ezindala ziyancwina xa zilele. Ngelishwa, umonakalo kwinkqubo ye-musculoskeletal iqokelela ngexesha lobomi benja esebenzayo. Izihlunu eziqinileyo zibuhlungu. Imisipha ayilulanga njengoko yayinjalo sisebancinci. Amalungu asabela kabuhlungu xa egcwala kakhulu…

• Ngokutsho kophononongo olwenziwa yi-osteopaths yaseSweden, phantse i-2/3 yazo zonke izinja zibonise intlungu yomqolo ekuhlolweni. (UAnders Hallgren: iingxaki ezingemva kwizinja: ingxelo yophando, i-Animal Learn Verlag 2003). Kwinkqubo yam, iphantse ibe yi-100% yezinja esizifumana ngeentlungu zangasemva. Malunga nezinja ezininzi ziphathwa ziintlungu zomqolo njengabantu bazo. Iintlungu zangasemva zinokuphathwa kakuhle kwaye ngempumelelo.
• Ngenxa yesakhiwo secandelo lomqolo kunye neentsholongwane eziphuma emva kwe-vertebra nganye, yonke i-vertebral blockage ikhokelela kwintsholongwane ephazamisayo - kwaye yonke inzwa ecatshukiswa sisifo selungu langaphakathi ikhokelela ekuphazamisekeni kwinqanaba lomqolo. Ebudeni bobomi benja, zininzi izinto ezincinci eziqokelelanayo, ezikhokelela kumonakalo kumqolo. I-acupuncture lunyango olulungileyo kakhulu apha.
• I-Hip dysplasia ikhokelela ekugqithiseni kwamanye amalungu omzimba ngenxa yokuma kokukhusela ubomi bonke. Ngelishwa, i-biomechanics ayikwazi ukukhohliswa: Ukuba ubunzima obuninzi butshintshelwe phambili ngenxa yokuba imilenze yangasemva ayikwazi ukusebenza njengoko kufanele, ngoko oku kunemiphumo. Iziphumo ezibuhlungu kwinja. Apha, ukuhambelana kwaye ngexesha elifanayo, unyango olunyamekileyo alufanele lubambezeleke. Nokuba kufuneka utyando olungxamisekileyo, inja eneHD inokuguga ngolonwabo – ukuba iintlungu zinyangwa rhoqo.
• I-osteoarthritis yamadolo kunye ne-cruciate ligaments ezikrazukileyo zezinye izizathu zenja encwinayo xa ilele. Kuba ngoku amalungu amakhulu, oko kukuthi amadolo kunye nezinqe, kufuneka agobe kangangoko kunokwenzeka.
• Kodwa izifo ezibuhlungu zamalungu angaphakathi zisenokubangela ukuncwina kwizinja eziphezulu.

Lilonke, kufuneka kuthiwe ukuncwina xa ulele okanye utshintsha indawo yokulala xa ulele kungaluphawu lwentlungu yenja – kodwa akunyanzelekanga ukuba kube njalo. Okuninzi kuxhomekeke kwimeko. Nabani na ongaqinisekanga kufuneka adibane nomgulana ohlola umzimba "ngethuku" kwaye uqhelene nomzimba kunye neendlela zokuhamba zeentlanga ezahlukeneyo. Ngenxa yokuba i-Chihuahua ihamba kwaye ihamba ngokuhlukileyo kune-dachshund, kune-pointer, kunomalusi waseJamani, kuneNewfoundland - kwaye ngamnye unobuthathaka bakhe.
