Uma ubuza abanikazi bezilwane ezifuywayo ukuthi yini ebakhathaza kakhulu ngezinyanga zasehlobo, isihloko esihlala sivela kakhulu amazeze!
Lezi zinambuzane ezincane, ezinsundu ngokumnyama zithanda amazinga okushisa angama-65-80 degrees kanye namazinga omswakama angamaphesenti angama-75-85 - ngakho kwezinye izindawo zezwe, amazeze ezinjeni angaphezu nje kwenkinga yasehlobo. Ezindaweni eziningi eziseningizimu ye-United States, amazeze angasinda unyaka wonke futhi ahluphe isilwane sakho esifuywayo.
Izinja zivame ukungenwa amazeze ngokuthintana nezinye izilwane noma ngokuthintana namazeze endaweni. Imilenze yangemuva enamandla yalesi sinambuzane isenza sikwazi ukugxuma sisuka kosokhaya siye kwelinye noma sisuka endaweni ezungezile siye kumsingathi. (Amazeze awanawo amaphiko, ngakho awakwazi ukundiza.)
Ukulunywa kwamazeze kungabangela ukulunywa kumninikhaya, okungaba kubi kakhulu ezilwaneni ezizwelayo noma lezo ezingezwani namazeze. Kungabangela ukunwaya nokuhlafuna ngokweqile, kubangele ukulahlekelwa izinwele, ukuvuvukala, kanye nezifo zesikhumba zesibili. Ezinye izilwane ezifuywayo zizwela ngokweqile kumathe enziwe futhi ziluma imizimba yazo yonke ngokulunywa yizeze elilodwa nje.
Ungawabona kanjani amazeze ezinjeni
Wazi kanjani ukuthi amazeze abangela ukulunywa (pruritus in vet jargon)? Ngokungafani nokubhoboza, i-demodex engabonakali noma izibungu zotwayi, amazeze avame ukubonakala ehla enyuka phezu kwesikhumba.
Amazeze anombala wethusi omnyama futhi angangekhanda likaphini. Abakuthandi ukukhanya, ngakho-ke ithuba elingcono kakhulu lokubona amazeze enja ukubheka ezindaweni ezinoboya, esiswini, namathanga angaphakathi.
“Ukungcola kwamazeze” kungase futhi kube inkomba yamazeze enjeni. Indle yezeze ibukeka njengamachashaza kapelepele omnyama asakazeke esikhumbeni. Uma ubona indle yamazeze - empeleni okuyindle yezeze eyenziwe ngegazi eligaywe - khipha enye yayo esilwaneni uyibeke phezu kwethawula lephepha elimanzi. Uma ngemva kwemizuzu embalwa amachashaza amancane asakazeka njengebala legazi elincane, nakanjani ukungcola kwezeze futhi isilwane sakho esifuywayo sinamazeze.
Iyiphi indlela engcono kakhulu yokususa amazeze enjeni?
Uma usunqume ukuthi inja yakho inamazeze, kunezinto ezimbalwa ongayenza ukuze usize isilwane sakho.
Ukulawulwa kwezeze ngomlomo nangezihloko
Amazeze ayacasula futhi ayaphikelela. Nokho, amazeze enja namaphilisi okhaza nezinye izindlela zokwelapha ezitholakala ezinjeni kubonise ukuthi kungenye yezindlela ezisheshayo zokususa amazeze isilwane sakho.
Amanye amakhambi asebenza kuphela ngokumelene namazeze amadala, amanye ngokumelene namaqanda amazeze, izibungu, namazeze amadala, ngakho-ke kubalulekile ukuthenga ikhambi elifanele. Abanye bahlanganisa ukulawulwa kwe-flea kanye nokuvimbela i-heartworm ekwelapheni okukodwa. Uzothola ukuthi abanye badinga incwadi kadokotela kuyilapho abanye bengayidingi.
Ngakho-ke yikuphi ukwelashwa okungcono kakhulu kwe-oral flea ezinjeni? Lokho kuncike ezidingweni zomuntu ngamunye zenja yakho. Khuluma nodokotela wakho wezilwane mayelana nokuthi iyiphi inketho elungele isilwane sakho.
Imithi kadokotela yezeze
Kunezinhlobonhlobo zemikhiqizo yokulawula amazeze emakethe namuhla, kodwa imikhiqizo emisha emisha yezeze neyokulawula umkhaza yenza ukuba ukulawula amazeze kungakhungatheki ngemikhiqizo edumile nesebenza kahle kakhulu.
Khuluma nodokotela wakho wezilwane mayelana nemithi yokuvimbela imikhaza nezinja, njengoba eziningi zazo zidinga incwadi kadokotela. Imithi kadokotela ingenye yezindlela ezingcono kakhulu zokubulala amazeze ngokushesha.
I-Bravecto (i-Fluralaner) ibulala amazeze ngamahora amabili futhi ihlala izinyanga ezintathu, kuyilapho imikhiqizo equkethe i-Spinosad (Comfortis, Trifexis) isebenza ngemizuzu engu-30 futhi ihlala inyanga.
Okunye kwalokhu kwelashwa kwamazeze akulimazi izeze elikhulile, kodwa kunalokho kuvimbela amaqanda alo ukuba angachanyuselwa, ngaleyo ndlela kuphazamise umjikelezo wokuphila kwezeze. Njengoba izeze lingakwazi ukuzala, inani lamazeze ekugcineni lizonyamalala ngaphandle kwalapho isilwane esifuywayo sihlala sithintana namazeze amasha.
Ezimweni ezifudumele, ukwelashwa kwezeze kanye nomkhaza ezinjeni ngokuvamile kuwumsebenzi wonyaka wonke, kodwa kwezinye izimo, ukwelashwa kufanele kuqale ekuqaleni kwentwasahlobo, ngaphambi kokuthi kuqale inkathi yezeze.
Imithi etholakala ngaphandle kwekhawunta yokwelapha amazeze ezinjeni
Kukhona neminye imikhiqizo eminingi ezobulala amazeze esilwaneni esingadingi incwadi kadokotela. Nokho, okubi ukuthi le mikhiqizo ingase ingasebenzi kahle kunemikhiqizo kadokotela.
Lawa makhambi atholakala ngaphandle kwekhawunta ahlanganisa ama-shampoos enziwe ngamazeze, izimpushana eziyizimpushana, izifutho zezeze, amakhola amazeze, ukwelashwa kwezeze ngomlomo, kanye nemikhiqizo etholakala endaweni. Odokotela bezilwane abaningi babika ukuthi iziguli zabo zisenamazeze ngemva kokusebenzisa le mikhiqizo ethengwayo, kodwa kukhona nokubuyekezwa okuhle okuvela kubanikazi bezilwane kweminye yale mikhiqizo.
Isibonelo, i-Capstar iyithebhulethi ebulala amazeze amadala futhi ithathwa ngomlomo. Iqala ukusebenza phakathi nemizuzu engu-30 futhi ibulale amaphesenti angaphezu kuka-90 awo wonke amazeze emahoreni amane. Isetshenziselwa ukwelapha izifo ze-flea.
Ezilwaneni ezingezwani namathe ezenze (i-flea bite hypersensitivity), kufanele ukhethe i-ejenti esebenza ngempumelelo ngokumelene namazeze amadala, njengoba lawa asengaluma isilwane. Ezinjeni ezizwela amazeze, imikhiqizo enento exosha amazeze (i-Seresto collar, Vectra 3D) iyisinqumo esingcono kakhulu sokuvimbela amazeze ukuba angalumi.
Amashampoos enja
Kukhona ama-shampoos ahlukahlukene amazeze namakhaza ezinja namakati emakethe angasebenza kahle uma esetshenziswa ngendlela efanele. Ama-shampoos e-Dog flea angaba nenani lezithako ezisebenzayo noma ezingasebenzi kahle.
Imidlwane emincane kufanele igezwe kuphela nge-shampoo yenja engenabuthi. Kodwa-ke, kufanele ucabangele ukuthi isilwane sakho singakwazi yini ukubekezelela ukumanzi nokukhushulwa imizuzu emihlanu kuya kweyishumi ngoba kuthatha isikhathi esingakanani ukuthi i-shampoo ingene.
Ngemva kokugeza okufudumele okufudumele, uzobe usuwabulele amazeze futhi ungasebenzisa ikhekheba lomkhaza ukuze ususe amazeze afile enjeni yakho. Kodwa-ke, ama-shampoos e-flea ngeke avikele inja yakho kolunye ukutheleleka kwezeze.
ISEXWAYISO: Amafutha esihlahla setiye anobuthi. UNGASEBENZISI amafutha esihlahla setiye ukulawula amazeze emakati noma ezinjeni.
Qonda umjikelezo wempilo yamazeze
Kodwa ukufuna kwakho ukususa amazeze akugcini lapho - udinga nokwelapha indawo ezungezile. Akwanele ukufafaza impushana emfuyweni yakho; akwanele ukuhlanza indlu ngokuphelele; ukufaka ikhola yezeze esilwaneni sakho noma ukusebenzisa ukwelashwa kwamazeze akwanele.
Ukuze siqonde ukuthi inketho ngayinye yokwelashwa isebenza kanjani nokuthi kungani udinga futhi ukwelapha indawo ezungezile, sidinga kuqala ukuqonda umjikelezo wempilo yezeze. Ukwelashwa okuhlukene kanye nemikhiqizo yokuvimbela isebenza ezingxenyeni ezihlukene zalo mjikelezo wempilo.
Umjikelezo wempilo yezeze uhlanganisa izigaba eziningana: iqanda, isibungu, isiphungumangathi (umfece), nezeze elikhulile. Ukuthi kuthatha isikhathi esingakanani ukudlula lo mjikelezo kuncike ezimeni zemvelo ezifana nezinga lokushisa, umswakama, kanye nokuba khona komsingathi onomsoco. Umjikelezo wempilo ungahlala emasontweni amabili kuya onyakeni.
I-flea’s host isilwane esinegazi elifudumele njengenja noma ikati (noma ngisho nomuntu). Izigaba zamazeze ezehlukene ziyakwazi ukumelana namazinga okushisa aqandayo. Izeze elidala lensikazi livame ukuhlala endaweni yalo izinsuku ezimbalwa kuya emavikini. Ngalesi sikhathi, incela igazi lesilwane izikhathi ezimbili kuya kwezintathu futhi izalela amaqanda angama-20 kuya kwangu-30 ngosuku. Ngesikhathi sokuphila kwakhe angabekela amaqanda angamakhulu amaningana. Lamaqanda awela esifuyweni agcine esegcekeni, ezimpahleni zokulala, kukhaphethi, nanoma yikuphi lapho okukhona isilwane.
Amaqanda abe eseqhubeka nokukhula lapho efike khona. Njengoba zingaba ngu-1/12 kuphela ubukhulu bezilwane ezikhulile, zingakhula ngisho nasekuqhekekeni okuncane phansi naphakathi kwemifantu kakhaphethi. Izibungu zibe sezichamisela emaqandeni. Lezi zibungu ezincane ezinjengezimpethu zihlala phakathi kwemicu yokhaphethi, emifantwini yaphansi, nangaphandle endaweni ezungezile. Zidla izinto eziphilayo, i-dander, ngisho namaconsi anegazi amazeze amadala.
Izibungu ziyakhula, zibumbe kabili, bese zenza umfece lapho ziphuphuma khona bese zilinda isikhathi esifanele sokuchanyuselwa zibe isilwane esikhulile. Labo nodoli abazwani kakhulu futhi bavikelwe umfece wabo. Bangakwazi ukuphila isikhathi eside, balinde kuze kube yilapho izimo zemvelo nokutholakala kosokhaya kulungile. Abe esephuma emfeceni wawo lapho ezwa ukufudumala, ukundindizela, nokukhipha isikhutha esikhishwa umoya, konke okubonisa ukuthi kunomuntu oseduze. Izeze elidala elisanda kuchanyuselwa lingagxumela kumuntu oseduze.
Ngaphansi kwezimo ezifanele, izeze lingaqeda wonke umjikelezo walo wokuphila esikhathini esingangezinsuku eziyi-14. Cabanga nje ngamashumi ezinkulungwane zalezi zigangi ezingase zivele ngaphansi kwezimo ezifanele.
Ukwazi lo mjikelezo wempilo, umuntu uyaqonda ukuthi kungani bekulokhu kubalulekile ukwelapha kokubili isilwane esisingethe kanye nendawo yasendlini nengaphandle ukuze kulawulwe ngokugcwele inani lamazeze.
Udinga futhi ukuphatha ifulethi nendawo ezungezile.
Indlela yokwelapha amazeze endaweni
Nganoma yikuphi ukwelashwa kwe-flea, kuyadingeka ukwelapha zonke izilwane ekhaya ukuze uphumelele ngokuphelele. Ngaphezu kwalokho, cishe uzodinga ukuphatha ingaphakathi nangaphandle futhi.
Ukwelashwa kwefulethi
Lapho ukwelapha ingaphakathi, kubalulekile ukugeza zonke izingubo zokulala ngamanzi ashisayo, anensipho. Wonke amaphansi anokhaphethi kufanele agezwe kahle futhi isikhwama sevacuum silahlwe, noma umgqomo uthululwe futhi isikhwama sikadoti sikhishwe ngaphandle. Ukuhlanza ukhaphethi ngesitimu kungabulala ezinye izibungu. Kodwa-ke, khumbula ukuthi ukuhlanza nokugezela ukhaphethi nge shampoo kusazoshiya amaphesenti amahle amazeze aphilayo, ngakho ukwelashwa ngamakhemikhali kungase kudingeke.
Indlu yonke manje ingalashelwa amazeze. Kunezinketho eziningi, kufaka phakathi ama-nebulizers asebenza kahle kakhulu. Imikhiqizo esekelwe ku-boric acid ingaba inketho ephephile kumakhaya anezingane ezincane noma ezinye izimo lapho insalela yamakhemikhali iyinkinga. Okusebenza kakhulu imikhiqizo equkethe kokubili isithako esisebenzayo sokubulala amazeze amadala kanye nesithako esisebenzayo ukubulala ezinye izigaba zomjikelezo wokuphila. Lesi sakamuva sibizwa ngokuthi isilawuli sokukhula kwezinambuzane.
I-Methoprene iyisilawuli sokukhula esinjalo. Kwezinye izimo, i-aerosol misters ingase ingangeni kahle ngokwanele ukubulala wonke amazeze nezibungu ezifihliwe. Enye inketho yokulawula yasendlini umkhiqizo we-sodium borate osetshenziswa ezitezi ezinokhaphethi. Xhumana nenkampani yendawo yokuqothula ukuze uthole isilinganiso sezindleko kanye nesiqinisekiso sokuthi inqubo izosusa amazeze endaweni yakho.
Ukulawula amazeze kwangaphandle
Izifutho nezibulala-zinambuzane ezinamapellets ngokuvamile zisetshenziselwa ukulawula amazeze ngaphandle ngemva kokuba izindlu zezinja nezindlwana sezihlanzwe kahle. Ukulawula ukukhula kwezinambuzane kuyisinqumo esihle nalapha. I-Pyriproxyfen izinzile ekukhanyeni kwelanga futhi ihlala isikhathi eside ngaphandle kune-methoprene.
Kubalulekile ukuqaphela ukuthi i-Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) isivimbile isibulala-zinambuzane i-chlorpyrifos (Dursban). Ukukhiqizwa kwaphela ngoDisemba 2000.
I-Diatomaceous Earth, enye indlela engenabo ubuthi, ingasebenza kahle kakhulu futhi iphephile ukusetshenziswa ngaphakathi nasezindaweni ezizungezile izivande zemifino kanye nempahla yokudlala yangaphandle yezingane. Uma ukhetha umkhiqizo we-diatomaceous earth, bheka umkhiqizo wezinga lokudla njenge-DiatomaceousEarth Food Grade Powder engasetshenziswa futhi eduze kwezilwane ezifuywayo.
Amanye ama-nematodes angenabo ubuthi (izikelemu ezincane) angasakazeka ezindaweni ezingadini ezifudumele nezinomswakama futhi ezivame ukuvakashela izilwane ezifuywayo namazeze. Ama-nematode adla izibungu ezigcwele amazeze. Futhi uma sekuneqhwa phansi, ingxenye enkulu yomthombo oyinhloko wamazeze iyaphela.
Qiniseka ukuthi uthintana nodokotela wakho wezilwane mayelana nezindlela nemikhiqizo ekusebenzela kangcono wena nezilwane ezifuywayo. Udokotela wakho wezilwane ungumthombo wakho ongcono kakhulu wokuthola ulwazi lwakamuva lwezeze.
Indlela yokwelapha ukulunywa kwamazeze ezinjeni
Amalungiselelo asebenzayo avela kudokotela wezilwane ayatholakala njengempushana, i-shampoo, isifutho, noma amaphilisi. Abulala amazeze akhona futhi enze kube nzima ukuthi azalane. Umphumela wabo uvela ngokushesha lapho kuqala ukwelashwa, okumele, noma kunjalo, kuphindwe izikhathi eziningana. Udokotela wezilwane uyachaza ukuthi amakhambi kufanele asetshenziswe kanjani futhi kangaki.
Indlela yokupholisa noma yokwelapha i-flea allergy dermatitis ezinjeni
Ngeshwa, i-flea allergy dermatitis (FAD) ngokwayo ayikwazi ukwelapheka - udokotela wezilwane kuphela ongadambisa izimpawu. Ngaphezu kwama-parasiticides, imikhiqizo yokunakekelwa kwesikhumba, namafutha okugcoba, kunenketho yokuqeda ukuzwela.
Indlela yokwelapha amazeze emidlwaneni
Ngakho-ke, ukuvikela amazeze okugunyazwe ngokukhethekile imidlwane kufanele kusetshenziswe. Ikhambi lezeze nomkhaza eselizanywe futhi lavivinywa iminyaka engaphezu kwengu-20 iFrontline Spray, elisebenza ngokushesha ngemva kokufakwa futhi lilungele yonke iminyaka.
Ngingayifuya isikhathi esingakanani inja yami ngemva kokwelashwa kwezeze?
Ungakwazi ukuphatha, ukushaya, futhi ugone isilwane sakho njengenjwayelo ngokushesha nje lapho isayithi lesicelo somile. Okwamanje, izilwane eziphathwayo akufanele ziphathwe futhi izingane akufanele zivunyelwe ukudlala noma ukulala nazo.
