Ubunzima obunempilo kwikati yakho

Ngaba uyazi ukuba ikati yakho ifuna ukuthoba? Iikati ezityebileyo ziqhelekile kangangokuba usenokungaqondi nokuba eyakho ikwicala le-portly. Kodwa iikati ezityebileyo kunye nezityebileyo ngoku zodlula ezo zinobunzima obusempilweni, kwaye ii-vets zibona iikati ezityebe kakhulu, nazo.

“Ingxaki kuthi sithanda ukumosha iikati zethu, kwaye iikati ziyathanda ukutya, kunjalo'Kulula ukuyityisa kancinci,”utsho uPhilip J. Shanker, uDVM, umnini weSibhedlele seCat eCampbell, CA.

It'yinto ekufuneka ithathelwe ingqalelo. Nokuba iikhilogram ezimbalwa ezongezelelweyo zinokwenza isilwanyana sakho sasekhaya sibe lula ukufumana iingxaki zempilo ezifana nohlobo lwesi-2 seswekile kwaye zenze ezinye, ezifana nesifo samathambo, zibe mandundu. Isenokude ibathintele ekuzilungiseni ngokufanelekileyo. Ukugcina ubunzima obugqithisileyo kufuneka kukhokelela kwikati enempilo, eyonwabileyo.

Uninzi lweekati zasekhaya kufuneka zibe nobunzima obumalunga neekhilogram ezili-10, nangona oko kunokwahluka ngokwenzala kunye nesakhelo. Ikati yeSiamese inobunzima obungangeekhilogram ezi-5, ngelixa iMaine Coon inokuba neekhilogram ezingama-25 kwaye isempilweni.

Ugqirha wakho wezilwanyana unokukwazisa ukuba ikati yakho ityebe kakhulu, kodwa kukho imiqondiso onokuzijonga ngokwakho, utshilo uMelissa Mustillo, DVM, ugqirha wezilwanyana kwikliniki yekati eMaryland.“Iikati kufuneka zibe ne-hourglass figure xa wena'bajonge phantsi kubo, akufanelekanga'ndinesisu esijiyileyo esijingayo, kwaye kufuneka ukwazi ukuva iimbambo zabo,”uthi. (Kukho into eyahlukileyo: ikati ebityebe kakhulu kusenokwenzeka ukuba isenayo “isisu esibuhlungu” emva kokuncipha.)

Uzigcina njani iiponti zivaliwe

Oogqirha bezilwanyana bathi iikati'ukuzuza ubunzima ngokuqhelekileyo kuhla kuhlobo kunye nobungakanani bokutya abakwenzayo'wondliwe kwakhona, kunye nokukruquka kwakudala.

“Xa bekruqukile, bacinga,'Ndingahamba nditye. … Owu, jonga phaya'Akukho kutya esityeni sam, mna'Ndizakukhathaza umama ngokutya okungakumbi,'”U-Mustillo uthi.

Kwaye xa bencwina, abaninimzi abaninzi bayanikezela ukuze bagcine izilwanyana zabo zonwabile.Kodwa kunokwenzeka ukukhusela okanye ukunciphisa ubunzima:

Faka endaweni yokutya okomileyo ngenkonkxiweyo, edla ngokuba neprotheyini eninzi kunye neecarbohydrates ezimbalwa. Ukutya okunkonkxiweyo kukwayindlela elungileyo yokumisela amaxesha okutya ahlukileyo kwisilo-qabane sakho. Iikati ezininzi zifumana ubunzima xa abanini beshiya isitya se-kibble eyomileyo ukuze badle imini yonke.

Nciphisa ukutya. Iikati zenza kanye neminye imivuzo, njengexesha lokudlala nawe.

Yenza ikati yakho isebenzele ukutya kwayo. Izilwanyana zifumene iikati zisempilweni kwaye zizolile xa abanini bazo besebenzisa“iipuzzle zokutya,”apho ikati kufuneka iqengqeleke okanye iyisebenzise ukuze ifumane izinto eziphathwayo. Unokuzifihla ezinye kumacandelo ebhokisi yewayini okanye unqumle enye okanye imingxuma encinci kwibhotile yeplastiki kwaye uyigcwalise ngeekibbles. Iiphazili zicothisa ukutya kwazo ngelixa zingena kwithuku lendalo lokuzingela kunye nokutya.

Ukuba unekati engaphezulu kwenye, unokufuna ukondla ikati etyebe kakhulu kwigumbi elahlukileyo okanye ubeke ikati enobunzima obusempilweni.'s ukutya phezulu apho ikati etyebileyo inakho't hamba.

Cinga ngokusebenzisa i-microchip pet feeder, eyenza ukuba ukutya kufumaneke kuphela kwisilwanyana esibhaliswe kweso sondlo. Kukho neethegi ezikhethekileyo zekhola eziyenye indlela ukuba isilwanyana sakho asinayo i-microchip.

Ngaphambi kokuba ubeke ikati yakho ekutyeni, yithathe uyihlole ukuze uqiniseke ukuba ayifuni't unengxaki yonyango esisiseko. Kunokwanela ukutshintsha idlelo yemini yonke eqabeni ngezidlo ezichaziweyo. Kodwa ikati enzima kunokufuneka ukuba itshintshele ekutyeni ukutya okunkonkxiweyo okanye ukutya okumiselweyo okukhethekileyo okuneprotheyini eninzi, iivithamini kunye neeminerali ngekhalori nganye.

Yiba nomonde, utshilo uMstillo.“Ukuba usukelo lwakho [ikati yakho] kukuphulukana neponti, kunokuthabatha iinyanga ezi-6 ezintle, mhlawumbi ukuya kutsho kunyaka. Yona'icotha kakhulu.”

Kwaye don't wothuke ukuba ikati yakho's kwicala eligoso, utshilo uShanker. Ugqirha wakho wezilwanyana unokukunceda.

“Ukuba ikati'sa intwana ezeleyo, ayifuni't uthetha bona'uya kufa sisifo sentliziyo,”uthi.

Inye into omele uyikhumbule: Don'Ungaze uyilambise ikati yakho. Iikati, ngakumbi ezinkulu, zinokungena esibindini ukuba aziyenzi'nditye nokuba ziintsuku ezimbalwa.
