Kusamalira Galu Wachikulire: Kusunga Umoyo Wamphamvu

Kusamalira galu wokalamba kumabwera ndi zovuta zake, koma mgwirizano umene umakula pakapita zaka pakati pa ziweto ndi mwiniwake zimapangitsa mphindi iliyonse kukhala pamodzi kukhala yopindulitsa. Choncho, mumayesetsa kusamalira chiweto chanu ndikukhala naye nthawi yochuluka momwe mungathere. Kodi galu wamkulu angamve ngati ali wamng'ono? Choyamba, iye amafunikira chakudya chapamwamba, chopangidwa kuti chikwaniritse zosowa za thupi pa msinkhu wake, pamene kuli kofunikiranso kusunga zonse zakuthupi ndi zamaganizo. Ngati mutsatira malamulo osavuta awa, chiweto chanu chidzathera zaka zake zapakati m'njira yabwino kwambiri.

Ndi liti pamene galu amaonedwa kuti ndi wamkulu?

Zonse zimatengera kukula kwake ndi mtundu wake. Monga lamulo, mitundu ikuluikulu imakula msanga kuposa yaying'ono. Kufufuza kwa Banfield Pet Hospital pogwiritsa ntchito mbiri ya agalu agalu 2,5 miliyoni kunasonyeza kuti nyama zolemera makilogalamu 40 kapena kuposerapo zimakhala ndi moyo pafupifupi zaka zisanu ndi zitatu. Zotsatira za kusanthula komweku zikuwonetsa kuti agalu osakwana 9 kg amakhala pafupifupi zaka 11. Malinga ndi PetMD, nthawi ya moyo wa agalu akuluakulu amasiyana malinga ndi kulemera kwake. Ma Bulldogs, Mastiffs ndi Great Danes amakhala ndi moyo wocheperako (zaka 6-7), pomwe Cairn Terriers, Jack Russell Terriers, Shih Tzu ndi mitundu ina yaying'ono imakhala ndi moyo wautali kwambiri (zaka 13-14).

Izi zidzakuthandizani kumvetsetsa zosowa za galu wanu, kuyang'ana zizindikiro za kuchepa pang'ono kwa nyonga, ndikusintha chisamaliro chanu choweta moyenerera. Koma izi sizikutanthauza kuti galu wanu wokoma mtima wasiya kukhala woseketsa komanso wamphamvu. Talemba mndandanda wazizindikiro zakukalamba zomwe muyenera kuzisamala kuti muthandize chiweto chanu kuti chikhale ndi moyo wokwanira komanso wosangalatsa.

Kodi zizindikiro za ukalamba ndi ziti zomwe muyenera kuziyang'anira?

Agalu okalamba ali ngati achikulire.

• Kutaya masomphenya. Zomwe zimayambitsa kusawona bwino kwa agalu ndi ng'ala, glaucoma, kupita patsogolo kwa retinal atrophy, ndi kuwonongeka kwadzidzidzi kwa retina. Kusamalira galu yemwe akuvutika ndi vuto la masomphenya kumayendera limodzi ndi zovuta zina zapakhomo, koma sizikutanthauza kuti moyo wa nyama umakhala wosauka.
• Mavuto ndi pakamwa pakamwa. Tartar, gingivitis ndi matenda ena am'mano ndi m'kamwa amachititsa kuti galu asokonezeke kwambiri. Kafukufuku wa Banfield Veterinary Clinic akusonyeza kuti agalu ang'onoang'ono (kuphatikiza Dachshunds, Yorkshire Terriers, Shih Tzus ndi agalu a Malta) ndi omwe amakhudzidwa kwambiri ndi matenda a mano. Akapanda kuthandizidwa, matendawa angayambitse matenda, kukomoka kwa mano, kuwonongeka kwa mafupa, ndi kupweteka kwa dzino. Funsani veterinarian wanu ngati chiweto chanu chikutuluka magazi kapena mano ovunda.
• Ikani (kuchepa) kulemera. Agalu akuluakulu omwe ali ndi ululu amapewa kuchita masewera olimbitsa thupi, zomwe zingayambitse kulemera. M'malo mwake, ngati muwona kuwonda kosadziwika bwino pachiweto chanu, mano, m'mimba, kapena mavuto ena azaumoyo angakhale chifukwa.
• Zopweteka. Matenda a nyamakazi ndi amodzi mwa matenda omwe amapezeka mwa agalu achikulire ndi akatswiri a zinyama. Zingakhale zovuta kuzindikira, chifukwa nyama zimakonda kupirira mpaka kumapeto ndipo zimangosonyeza kusapeza bwino chifukwa cha ululu. Mwini tcheru amatha kuona zizindikiro za ululu wa nyamakazi monga kuchepa kwa chidwi pamasewera, kusamala pokwera masitepe kapena kudumpha, ndi kusintha kwa thupi.
• Kuwonongeka kwa ntchito zamaganizo. PetMD inanena kuti zizindikiro zachipatala zakuchepa kwachidziwitso zimawonedwa mu 50% ya ziweto zopitirira zaka 11. Zizindikiro zodziwika bwino ndi monga chisokonezo, kusakhazikika, kulephera kuchita zinthu zabwinobwino, kusadzisamalira bwino, ndi chidetso m'nyumba.

Kodi mungamuthandize bwanji galu wanu wokalamba?

Funsani veterinarian wanu kuti apeze chakudya chabwino kwambiri chofuna kusintha kwa chiweto chanu, monga zakudya zambiri zimapangidwira agalu akuluakulu, monga Hill's Science Plan Senior Vitality. Senior Vitality adapangidwa kuti akwaniritse zosowa za ziweto zikamakalamba. Zimathandiza kulimbana ndi kusintha kwa ukalamba ndikupangitsa galu kukhala wachangu komanso wamphamvu. Zimathandiziranso ntchito za thupi la nyama, zomwe zimatha kuwonongeka ndi ukalamba.

Muyeneranso kukumbukira za kusamalira pakamwa pa galu okalamba. Kusamalira mano nthawi zonse kudzathandiza kuti mkamwa mwake mukhale wathanzi. Ngati chiweto chanu chikukana kutsuka mano, pali zakudya zapadera zomwe zimathandiza kuti pakamwa pakhale paukhondo.

Kusamalira galu wamkulu kumaphatikizapo kuwunika kusintha kwa khalidwe lake. Ngati muwona kuti galu wanu akuyamba kuchita nkhanza, sakufuna kudya, kapena akumwa kwambiri, funsani veterinarian wanu mwamsanga kuti akuthandizeni. Kusintha kulikonse pazochitika za tsiku ndi tsiku za chiweto chanu kungakhale chizindikiro cha matenda aakulu omwe, ngati atawazindikira mwamsanga, akhoza kuchiritsidwa mavuto aakulu asanayambe. Ichi ndichifukwa chake kuyezetsa pafupipafupi ndikofunikira kwa chiweto chanu, makamaka paukalamba wawo. Zosintha zomwe zimachitika chifukwa cha msinkhu zimakhala zovuta kuziwona. Kuwirikiza kawiri kuchuluka kwa kuyezetsa komwe mwakonzekera ndi veterinarian wanu kumathandizira veterinarian wanu kuzindikira mwachangu kusintha kwa thanzi la chiweto chanu.

Ganizirani za kutonthozedwa kwa chiweto chokalamba. Kuchita masewera olimbitsa thupi nthawi zonse - kuyenda, kuponya zinthu ndi kusewera kunyumba - kudzamuthandiza kutaya mapaundi angapo owonjezera ndikusunga mfundo zake zathanzi. Lolani chiweto chanu nthawi zonse chimakhala ndi madzi, ndipo ngati muwona kuti watopa, mulole kuti apume. Makasi osasunthika adzapatsa chidaliro kwa galu yemwe amawopa kutsetsereka pamtengo. Rampu yonyamula ikuthandizani kulowa mgalimoto. Bedi la mafupa a agalu lidzapereka mpumulo wabwino.

Kuti muteteze ntchito ya ubongo wa galu wanu, yambani kuphunziranso limodzi (muphunzitseni zanzeru zatsopano!), Mpatseni chithunzithunzi, kapena sewerani mobisa ndi kufunafuna ndi zosangalatsa.

Chofunika koposa, sonyezani chikondi chanu. Inu ndi chiweto chanu mwakhala mukusangalala kukumbatirana, ndipo tsopano ndikofunikira kwambiri. Ngakhale itakalamba, nyamayo imatha kusangalala ndi moyo. Chifukwa cha chisamaliro chanu ndi chisamaliro chanu, galu wanu adzakhalabe wamphamvu kwa zaka zambiri zikubwerazi.
