Uma inja iyisisulu sokulunywa, ukuya kudokotela wezilwane kubalulekile. Ngoba ngisho noma kungekho silonda esingabonwa, ukulimala kwangaphakathi noma ukuvuvukala akunakugwenywa.
Lapho izinja eziyinqaba zihlangana, izinto zingashesha zibe dice. U-Markus Weber* owesilisa waseHavanese u-Rico muva nje kudingeke ukuthi azibonele mathupha lokhu. Lo mfana oneminyaka engu-43 ubudala ubehamba ngaseSihl eZurich njengazo zonke izinsuku ekuseni ngesikhathi u-Rico eqala ukulwa nowesilisa waseLabrador angamazi. “Ekuqaleni ngangicabanga ukuthi umdlalo phakathi kwabo bobabili,” kusho uWeber. “Lapho u-Rico ekhala kungazelelwe futhi enye inja inezinwele emlonyeni, ngangazi ukuthi isiqala ukubheda.” Lapho ebona ukuthi inja yakhe yayiphuma igazi entanyeni, u-Weber ngokushesha wabiza udokotela wakhe wezilwane futhi walethela u-Rico kuye ngokushesha okukhulu.
U-Weber usabele kahle ngalokho, kusho uMirja Nolff, uDokotela Omkhulu Osebenza Ngezicubu Ezithambile kanye Nokuhlinzwa Kwe-Oncological esibhedlela Sezilwane eZurich. Kunezinyathelo ezithile zosizo lokuqala umnikazi angazinikeza inja elunyiwe. Isilonda singabe sesigezwa ngamanzi ahlanzekile futhi simbozwe ngendwangu eyomile, ehlanzekile. “Uma kunokopha okukhulu emlenzeni, ungazama ukukubopha,” kusho uNolff. "Kodwa lokho akuvamile ukusebenza." Futhi ngisho noma kubonakala sengathi kunegazi eliningi, kubaluleke kakhulu ukuya kudokotela wezilwane ngokushesha kunokuzama ukunqanda ukopha. Isimo siyefana ne-prolapse, okungukuthi lapho izitho ziphuma emzimbeni, noma inja ingenandaba kakhulu. "Kulokhu, kufanele ubophe inja ngengubo ehlanzekile bese ushayela udokotela wezilwane ngokushesha okukhulu."
Imitholampilo eminingi inikeza izinsiza eziphuthumayo. Esibhedlela Sezilwane saseZurich, isibonelo, umnyango wezimo eziphuthumayo uvula izinsuku ezingu-365 ngonyaka, amahora angu-24 ngosuku. Ngokuvamile, kuyasiza uma abanikazi bezinja beshaya ucingo bathi bayeza. Kodwa uma usesimweni esinjalo, uvame ukucasuka, kusho uNolff. Uma ungenayo inombolo ongayinikeza noma uwedwa, kufanele uvele ubambe inja bese uze ngokushesha lapho ungabaza.” Weluleka abanikazi bezinja ukuthi bathole ukuthi udokotela wabo wezilwane uvule kanjani nokuthi imuphi umtholampilo omkhulu oseduze ohlinzeka ngezimo eziphuthumayo zamahora angu-24, ongakwazi ukuya kuwo ngokushesha uma ungabaza. “Uma kudingekile, gcina izinombolo kumakhalekhukhwini wakho ukuze ube nazo uma kunesimo esiphuthumayo,” kuchaza uchwepheshe.
Kodwa kuthiwani uma kungabonakali lutho ngemva kokulunywa futhi kusale amabala amancane angakophi? Akunangqondo yini ukulinda futhi ubone? Impendulo kaNolff icacile: “Cha! Ngisho kulimale kancane, izinwele noma ukungcola kungabhajwa esilondeni,” kusho udokotela. Uma lezi zisuswa ngokushesha, izilonda eziningi ziyaphola ngaphandle kwezinkinga. "Kwesinye isikhathi kubonakala ukulunywa okuncane kuphela ngaphandle, kwesinye isikhathi kungabikho nhlobo amanxeba, kanti izitho zomzimba zilimele ngaphansi."
Ingozi ikakhulukazi ezinjeni ezingaphansi kuka-15 kilograms. Izinyathelo zingathathwa kuphela uma lokhu kukhonjwa ngokushesha. Ukulunywa okuningi kunethuba elihle lokuphola kahle, ngisho noma izilwane zilimale kakhulu zize zife. Cishe amaphesenti ayishumi, ukulimala kokulunywa kwenza ingxenye enkulu yamanxeba alashwa eZurich Animal Hospital.
Umnikazi Unesibopho Ngenja
Ukuvakashela udokotela wezilwane ukuze welaphe izilonda zokulunywa kungabiza. Lokhu kuphakamisa umbuzo wokuthi ubani okufanele athwale izindleko. Ku-“Tier im Recht transparent” lokho okubizwa ngesikweletu somnikazi wezilwane kuyacatshangelwa. “Uma izinja ezimbili zilimazana, umnikazi ngamunye unesibopho sokulimala komunye, njengoba bobabili bephule umsebenzi wabo wokunakekela,” ifundeka kanjalo. Lapho kubalwa umonakalo, izinga ukuziphatha kwesilwane ngasinye okubangela umonakalo kuyabhekwa. Idlala indima, isibonelo, ukuthi izinja zaziboshiwe yini. Isibonelo, umnikazi angasolwa ngokuyinakekela kangcono inja yakhe nokugwema isigameko.
Kunoma ikuphi, kuhle ukurekhoda imininingwane yomuntu siqu yabanikazi bezinja abahilelekile esigamekweni sokulunywa yinja futhi ubike icala enkampanini yomshwalense wesikweletu. Kusukela ngo-May 2006, akusenzekanga “ukuxazulula izinto phakathi kwenu”. Kusukela lapho, odokotela bezilwane kudingeke ukuthi babike ngokusemthethweni konke ukulimala okudalwe izinja ehhovisi lezilwane zase-canton. Lokhu bese kuthatha icala futhi, uma kunesidingo, iyala izinyathelo ngokumelene nenja elumayo.
U-Rico wehla neso elimnyama. Ngemva kokuba inxeba lokulunywa entanyeni selihlanziwe, lafakwa isibulala-magciwane, futhi lathungwa, owesilisa waseHavanese walulama ngokushesha. Lesi sigameko sibe nemiphumela kumnikazi weLabrador, lowo uMarkus Weber akwazi ukumthola ngaleso sikhathi: Kufanele athwale izindleko zezilwane zika-Rico futhi wabizelwa ihhovisi lezilwane esifundeni saseZurich ukuze ahlole umlingiswa.
