Uma uke wahogela udladla lwenja, kungenzeka ukuthi uhlangabezane nephunga lechip corn elihlukile. Abanikazi bezinja bavame ukubiza lesi simo ngokuthi "izinyawo ze-Frito," futhi empeleni kubangelwa amagciwane anobungane.

"Njengabantu nje, izinja zivame ukuvela amagciwane kanye nesikhunta esikhumbeni, okuhlanganisa nezidladla zazo. Lawa magciwane angakha iphunga 'elifana nemvubelo'," udokotela wezilwane. Robert J. Cotton III kusho uNgaphakathi.

Nakuba la magciwane ngokuvamile engenangozi, uCotton uxwayise ngokuthi ukwanda kwamagciwane ezidladleni kungabangela izinkinga.

Kufanele ungene nodokotela wakho wezilwane uma ukwazi ukuhogela izinyawo zenja yakho ukude noma uqaphela isilwane sakho bakhotha izidladla zabo ngokweqile.

Izinhlobo ezithile zezinja , njenge-pit bull kanye nama-Doberman, ngezinye izikhathi zihlotshaniswa nokuziphatha okunolaka.

Kodwa-ke, uCotton uthe, akunakwenzeka ukubikezela ukuthi inja ngayinye izoziphatha kanjani ngokusekelwe ohlotsheni lwayo kuphela.

“Alukho uhlobo lwezinja olunolaka ngokwemvelo futhi akufanele luhlukaniswe ngaleyo ndlela,” usho kanje. "Ezinye izinhlobo zezinja zingaba nesifiso esinamandla kakhulu ngesifiso sokusebenza nokwenza imisebenzi. Ngisho nalezi zinja zingaba nothando kakhulu futhi zithande umnikazi ozinikele ofanele."

UCotton ugcizelele ukuthi ukujwayelana nohlobo lwenja yakho nobuntu bakhe kubalulekile ekuqeqesheni nasekuqinisekiseni ukuthi lesi silwane siwumngane ofanele womndeni wakho.

Abanye abanikazi bezinja bangase bakhathazeke ngokuthi ukuthola isilwane sabo esifuywayo sikhishwe noma sikhishwe bangashintsha ubuntu babo.

Ngenhlanhla, udokotela wezilwane uJamie Richardson we  Umnyango Wezilwane Omncane wachaza, ukususa izitho zokuzala zenja eminyakeni efanele akuboniswanga ukuthi kunemiphumela yobuntu engadingeki.

"Azikho izincwadi zesayensi ezisikisela ukuthi ukugoqa noma ukugoba kwenza izinja zingabi namandla noma zivilapha, noma [ukuthi] kushintsha ubuntu bazo ngezindlela ezingezinhle," kusho uRichardson.

Kodwa-ke, waphawula, ukuzala kungase kuzenze izinja zesilisa  mancane amathuba ukuchama ukumaka indawo yabo futhi kunganciphisa ukuziphatha kokuzulazula.

URichardson utshele i-Insider ukuthi ukudla okomile kungaba nempilo njengokudla okusemathinini.

"Kuhle kakhulu ukondla inja yakho kuphela ukudla okomile, inqobo nje uma kungumthombo wokudla osezingeni eliphezulu, ogcwele umsoco, futhi ihlangabezana nezidingo zohlobo lwenja yakho, isigaba sempilo, indlela yokuphila, nanoma yiziphi izidingo zezempilo zomuntu ngamunye ," kusho uRichardson.

Uma ufuna ukudla okomile, ungase ufune ukubheka ukuthi kugunyazwe yi-  I-Association of American Feed Control Officials (AAFCO) , okuyithimba lezikhulu ezilawulayo eziqinisekisa ukuthi ukudla kwezilwane nokudla kwezilwane kuhlangabezana nezidingo zomsoco ezidingekayo.

Ungase futhi uthintane nodokotela wakho wezilwane ukuze ubone ukuthi isilwane sakho sidinga ukudla okuthile.

Izinhlobo ezincane noma zokudlala babe nedumela lokukhonkotha ngaphezu kwezinhlobo ezinkulu, kodwa asikho isiqinisekiso sokuthi inja enkulu izothula futhi encane izoba nengxoxo.

U-Gary Richter , udokotela wezilwane one-Rover, utshele i-Insider ukuthi nakuba inja ngayinye ihlukile, izinhlobo eziningi zezinja ezincane empeleni zazifuywa ukuze zikhulumele.

"Izinja eziningi zazifuywa umsebenzi okufanele ziwenze kanti eminye yaleyo misebenzi idinga ukuphimisela. Ezinye izinhlobo, njengama-pinscher amancane, zazifuywa ukuze zigadwe," kuchaza u-Richter. "Ezinye izinja, njengama-beagle, zazalelwa ukuzingela futhi zazisa umnikazi wazo ngokudla."

U-Richter wengeze ngokuthi ezinye izinhlobo ezivame ukukhonkotha zihlanganisa ama-basset hounds, ama-Pomeranians, ama-bloodhounds, ama-chihuahuas, nama-Yorkshire terriers.

Uma kukhulunywa ngobuntu nobungane, izinja zesilisa nezinsikazi bayalingana.

"Iqiniso wukuthi alukho ucansi olunobungani kunolunye," kusho uCotton etshela i-Insider. "Ukuqeqeshwa okufanele kanye nokuxhumana nabantu kusukela esemncane kungaqinisekisa ukuthi inja yakho izoba nobungane kungakhathaliseki ukuthi ubulili bayo bunjani."

Uma ucabangela ukuthatha inja , ubulili babo ngokuvamile abubalulekile kangako kunezici, njengomlando wabo, ukuqeqeshwa, kanye nobuntu bomuntu ngamunye.

Nakuba ezinye izinhlobo zikhona idumela lokuba nobuntu obuwinayo , zonke izinja zingaba nobungane ngokuqeqeshwa nokukhuliswa okufanele.

“Ezinye izinhlobo ziye zakhuliswa eminyakeni edlule ukuze kugxilwe ezimfanelweni ezithile, njengokwethembeka,” kusho uMiller. "Kodwa-ke, izinja zanoma yiluphi uhlobo zingaba abangane abakhulu futhi zibe nezimfanelo eziyingqayizivele, amaphethini omphakathi, nemikhuba."

Uma ubheke ukwengeza uhlobo oluthile lwenja emndenini wakho, kubalulekile ukwenza ucwaningo lwakho ngomlando, ukunakekelwa, kanye ubuntu balolo hlobo oluthile.

Ingabe izinja zinezidladla ezibusayo?

Izinja zingaba nezidladla ezibusayo.

“Ziningi izivivinyo ezisetshenzisiwe ezingahlola lokhu,” kusho uMiller. “Inhloso yalezi zivivinyo ukubona ukuziphatha kwenja isikhathi eside bese uqhathanisa ukuthi udladla lwenja lwesobunxele nesokudla lusetshenziswa kaningi kangakanani ukubamba okuthile ."

Ukuhlola okukodwa okungasiza ukuhlola lokhu ukuhlolwa kwebhola laseKong , lapho abacwaningi bebuka khona inja ukuze bayibone  isiphi isidladla abasisebenzisayo ukuzinzisa ithoyizi eligcwele ukuphatha ngenkathi bekhipha ukudla okulula.

Lokhu kuhlola kungasiza ekuboniseni uma inja ithanda isidladla lapho iqedela umsebenzi.

Ingabe kuphephile ukuphakela inja yakho inyama eluhlaza?

Abanye abanikazi bangase bakhethe ukuphakela inja yabo inyama eluhlaza, kusho uRichardson, kodwa akakukhuthazi ukuphakela isilwane sakho inyama yenkomo engaphekiwe, ingulube, noma yenkukhu.

"Naphezu kokuthandwa okukhulayo 'kokudla kwempisi,' empeleni azikho izifundo zesayensi ezifakazela izinzuzo zezempilo ezifunwa abasekeli bokudla kwenyama eluhlaza futhi kukhona izifundo eziningi okubonisa okuphambene: ukungalingani kokudla okunomsoco, i-hyperthyroidism ebangelwa ukudla, kanye nezifo ezibangelwa amagciwane," kusho uRichardson.

Inyama eluhlaza nayo imile  izingozi zokungcola izinja nabantu abavela eSalmonella, Listeria, namanye amagciwane.

Ingabe umuntu ongezwani nezinja angakwazi ukuzivumelanisa nokuhlala nezinja?

Abanye abantu abane-allergies yezinja cishe baye bezwa ubufakazi be-anecdotal bokuthi kungenzeka ukuthi ekugcineni "ujwayele" ukuhlala nezinja. Ngeshwa, akukho ukuvumelana phakathi kochwepheshe mayelana nokuthi lokhu kuyiqiniso yini.

“Omunye umbono uwukuthi ungase uvele ujwayelane nezinto ezingezwani nenja, ngaleyo ndlela wehlise izinga lokuzwela kwamasosha omzimba,” kusho uRichter. "[Kodwa] kunzima ukusho ukuthi yini evumela ukungezwani komzimba ukunciphisa ngokuhamba kwesikhathi."

I-American Academy of Allergy, Asthma, kanye ne-Immunology itusa abantu abaphethwe yi-allergies  sebenzisa isihlungi somoya se-HEPA ukunciphisa imithelela yezinja. Umuthi we-antihistamine kanye nemijovo ye-immunotherapy nakho kungasiza.

Abantu abanezinkinga zokuphefumula, njengesifuba somoya, kufanele baqaphe ngokukhethekile ukuze bazichaye ngamabomu ezintweni ezingezwani nezinja.

Ingabe izinja zingakhala izinyembezi lapho zicasukile?

Nokho izinja zinemizwa , noma yiziphi izinyembezi ozibona zigeleza emehlweni azo kungenzeka ngenxa yokucasuka, hhayi ukudabuka.

“Izinja azikwazi ukukhala ngendlela abantu abakhala ngayo ukuphendula ekucindezelekeni ngokomzwelo ," kusho uCotton. "Nokho, izinja zinezindlala ezingokwemvelo ezikhalayo njengabantu futhi zingadabula ngokweqile ngenxa yokungezwani komzimba nezinto ezithile, izinto zangaphandle, noma ukukhubazeka kwesakhiwo samehlo."

Uma ubona ukuthi inja yakho ibukeka ikhala, xhumana nodokotela wakho wezilwane ukuze uqiniseke ukuthi ayinayo inkinga yamehlo.
