Isisindo Esinempilo Sekati Lakho

Ubungazi ukuthi ikati lakho lidinga ukunciphisa? Amakati anamafutha avamile kangangokuthi ungase ungaboni nokuthi eyakho ihlangothini lwe-portly. Kodwa amakati akhuluphele kakhulu futhi akhuluphele manje angaphezu kwalawo anesisindo esinempilo, futhi odokotela bezilwane babona namakati akhuluphele kakhulu, nawo.

“Inkinga yethu sithanda ukumosha amakati ethu, namakati athanda ukudla, kunjalo'kulula ukudlisa kancane kancane,”kusho u-Philip J. Shanker, u-DVM, umnikazi we-The Cat Hospital eCampbell, CA.

It'kuyinto okufanele uyithathe ngokungathi sína. Ngisho namakhilogremu ambalwa nje angeziwe angenza isilwane sakho sibe maningi amathuba okuba sithole izinkinga ezithile zempilo ezifana nohlobo lwesifo sikashukela sohlobo 2 futhi zenze ezinye, njenge-arthritis, zibe zimbi nakakhulu. Kungabavimba ngisho nokuzilungisa ngendlela efanele. Ukugwema isisindo esiningi kufanele kuholele ekatini elinempilo, elijabule kakhudlwana.

Amakati amaningi afuywayo kufanele abe nesisindo esingamakhilogremu angu-10, nakuba lokho kungahluka ngokohlobo nohlaka. Ikati le-Siamese lingase libe nesisindo esingamakhilogremu angu-5, kanti i-Maine Coon ingaba amaphawundi angu-25 futhi inempilo.

Udokotela wakho wezilwane angakwazisa uma ikati lakho likhuluphele, kodwa kunezimpawu ongazibheka uwedwa, kusho uMelissa Mustillo, DVM, udokotela wezilwane e-A Cat Clinic eMaryland.“Amakati kufanele abe naleso sibalo se-hourglass uma wena'babheke phansi, akufanele'nginesisu esilengayo esilenga phansi, futhi kufanele ukwazi ukuzwa izimbambo zabo,”uthi. (Kukhona okuhlukile: ikati ebelikade likhuluphele cishe lisazoba “nesisu esibuhlungu” ngemva kokuncipha.)

Ungawagcina Kanjani Amaphawundi

Odokotela bezilwane bathi amakati'ukuzuza kwesisindo kuvame ukwehlela ohlotsheni nenani lokudla abakudlayo'udliwe kabusha, kanye nesithukuthezi esidala.

“Lapho bebhorekile, bacabanga,'Ngingahle ngiyodla. … O, bheka lapho'akukho kudla endishini yami, ngi'ngizohlupha umama ngokudla okwengeziwe,'”U-Mustillo uthi.

Futhi lapho bekhala, abanikazi abaningi bayazinikela ukuze bagcine izilwane zabo zijabule.Kodwa kungenzeka ukuvimbela noma ukunciphisa ukuzuza kwesisindo:

Shintsha ukudla okomile ufake okusemathinini, okuvame ukuba namaprotheni amaningi kanye nama-carbohydrate ambalwa. Ukudla okusemathinini nakho kuyindlela enhle yokubekela isilwane sakho izikhathi zokudla ezihlukile. Amakati amaningi athola isisindo lapho abanikazi beshiya isitsha se-kibble eyomile ukuze badle usuku lonke.

Yehlisa ukudla okudlayo. Amakati enza kahle nangeminye imiklomelo, njengesikhathi sokudlala nawe.

Yenza ikati lakho lisebenzele ukudla kwalo. Odokotela bezilwane bathole amakati anempilo futhi ezolile lapho abanikazi bawo besebenzisa“izindida zokudla,”okumele ikati liginqike noma liyilawule ukuze lithole izibiliboco. Ungakwazi ukufihla ezinye ezingxenyeni zebhokisi lewayini noma usike imbobo eyodwa noma ngaphezulu encane ebhodleleni lepulasitiki bese uligcwalisa ngama-kibbles. Izindida zibambezela ukudla kwazo ngenkathi zingena emizweni yazo yemvelo yokuzingela nokudla.

Uma unekati elingaphezu kwelilodwa, ungase udinge ukuphakela elikhuluphele ekamelweni elihlukile noma ubeke ikati elinesisindo esinempilo.'s ukudla phezulu lapho ikati elikhuluphele lingakwazi't hamba.

Cabangela ukusebenzisa i-microchip pet feeder, eyenza ukudla kutholakale kuphela esilwaneni esibhaliswe kuleyo feeder. Kukhona namathegi akhethekile ekhola okuhlukile uma isilwane sakho singenayo i-microchip.

Ngaphambi kokuthi ufake ikati lakho ekudleni, lihlole ukuze uqiniseke ukuthi liyakwenza't nginenkinga yezempilo ewumsuka. Kungase kwanele ukushintsha amadlelo eklabishi usuku lonke ngokudla okuchaziwe. Kodwa ikati elisindayo kungase kudingeke lishintshele ekudleni okusemathinini noma ukudla okukhethekile okunikezwe udokotela okunamaprotheni amaningi, amavithamini, namaminerali ngekhalori ngayinye.

Yiba nesineke, kusho u-Mustillo.“Uma umgomo wakho kuwukuthi [ikati lakho] lehle ngephawundi, kungase kuthathe izinyanga ezingu-6 ezinhle, mhlawumbe kuze kufike unyaka. It'kancane kakhulu.”

Futhi don'ungathuki uma kitty yakho's ohlangothini olugobile, kusho uShanker. Udokotela wakho wezilwane angasiza.

“Uma ikati'igcwele kancane, ayikwenzi'ngiqonde bona'uzofa ngesifo senhliziyo,”uthena.

Into eyodwa okufanele uyikhumbule: Don'ungalinge ulambe ikati lakho. Amakati, ikakhulukazi amakhulu, angangena esibindini uma engakwenzi'ngidle ngisho izinsuku ezimbalwa.
