Kungani Neuter Inja?

Umbhali: Jim Tedford

Wungathanda ukunciphisa noma ukuvimbela izinkinga ezingathi sína zempilo nokuziphatha kwenja yakho?Odokotela bezilwane bakhuthaza abanikazi bezilwane ezifuywayo ukuthi bakhiphe i-pup yabo noma i-neutered esemncane, ngokuvamile cishe izinyanga ezingu-4-6.Eqinisweni, omunye wemibuzo yokuqala inkampani yomshwalense wesilwane esifuywayo ezoyibuza abafakizicelo ukuthi inja yabo i-spayed noma i-neutered.Ikakhulukazi, izinja zesilisa ezingezona i-neutered (eziqinile) zisengozini enkulu yokuba nezifo eziningi kamuva ekuphileni njengomdlavuza wamasende nesifo se-prostate.

Izinzuzo Zezempilo Ze-Neutering

• Inganciphisa ukukhangwa kwabesifazane, ukuzulazula, nokukhuphuka.Ukuzulazula kungancishiswa ku-90% wezinja kanye nokukhuphuka kocansi kwabantu ku-66% wezinja.

• Ukumaka ngomchamo wukuziphatha okujwayelekile kwendawo ezinjeni.I-Neutering inciphisa ukumaka cishe ku-50% wezinja.

• Ukuhlukunyezwa kwabesilisa kungancishiswa cishe ku-60% wezinja.

• Ulaka lokubusa ngezinye izikhathi lungancishiswa kodwa ukuguqulwa kokuziphatha nakho kuyadingeka ukuze kuqedwe ngokuphelele.

Kungani I-Neutering Ibalulekile

Ngaphezu kokukhathazeka kwezempilo, izinja zesilisa zingase zibangele abanikazi bazo ingcindezi ngenxa yezinkinga zokuziphatha ezihlobene namazinga azo e-testosterone.Ngisho noma ukude ngamamayela, izinja zesilisa ziyakwazi ukuhogela insikazi lapho ishisa.Bangase bakhethe ukusebenza kanzima ukuze babaleke ekhaya noma egcekeni labo beyofuna insikazi.Izinja ezingamaduna ezingenazintambo zisengozini enkulu kakhulu yokushayiswa izimoto, ukulahleka, ukulwa nezinye izinja zamaduna, futhi ngokuvamile zibhekana nezinye izingozi ngenkathi zihamba kude nasekhaya.

Ngokuvamile, izinja ezingenalutho zenza izilwane ezifuywayo zomndeni ezingcono.Ongoti bathi ukuzulazula kunciphile futhi kuqedwe cishe ku-90% wezinja zesilisa.Lokhu kwenzeka kungakhathaliseki ubudala ngesikhathi sokukhulelwa.Ubudlova phakathi kwezinja, ukumaka, nokukhwezwa kwehliswa cishe ngamaphesenti angama-60.

Cabangela ukuthi inja yakho yesilisa ikhishwe i-neutered esemncane kakhulu enconywe udokotela wakho wezilwane.I-Neutering akufanele neze isetshenziswe esikhundleni sokuqeqeshwa okufanele.Kwezinye izimo ukukhishwa kwe-neutering kunciphisa kuphela imvamisa yezenzo ezithile kunokukuqeda ngokuphelele.

Khumbula ukuthi okuwukuphela kokuziphatha okuthintekayo yi-neutering yilezo ezithonywa ihomoni yabesilisa, i-testosterone.Ubuntu benja, ikhono lokufunda, ukuqeqesha, nokuzingela kuwumphumela wofuzo nokukhuliswa kwayo, hhayi amahomoni akhe wesilisa.Ezinye izici ezihlanganisa izinga lenja lobudoda nokuma kokuchama kunqunywa kusengaphambili phakathi nokukhula kombungu.

I-Neutered Dog Behaviour

Nakuba amazinga e-testosterone ehla asondele kumazinga angu-0 phakathi namahora okuhlinzwa, inja iyohlale iyiduna.Awukwazi ukushintsha ufuzo.Inja izokwazi njalo ukuziphatha okujwayelekile kowesilisa.Umehluko nje wukuthi ngeke aziveze ngokuqiniseka noma ngokuzinikela njengakuqala.Futhi naphezu kokuthambekela kwethu kobuntu kokumhawukela, inja ayiziqapheli ngomzimba wayo noma ukubukeka kwayo.Ngemva kokuhlinzwa, inja yakho cishe ikhathalela kuphela ukuthi ukudla kwayo okulandelayo kuzovelaphi.

UDkt. Nicholas Dodman, udokotela wezilwane kanye nochwepheshe bezokuziphatha e-Tufts Cummings School of Veterinary Medicine, uthanda ukusebenzisa isifaniso sokukhanya esineswishi efifiyela ukuchaza izimfanelo zokuziphatha zenja exhunywe intambo.Uthi, “Ngemva kokuthenwa, iswishi iyacishwa, kodwa ayivalwa, futhi umphumela awubi ubumnyama kodwa wukukhanya okufiphele.”

Ukukhipha inja yakho yesilisa akusizi nje kuphela ukulawula inani lezilwane ezifuywayo, kodwa futhi kunokuziphatha okubalulekile nezinzuzo zezokwelapha.Kunganciphisa ukuziphatha okungafunwa okuningi, kuvimbele ukukhungatheka, futhi kuthuthukise izinga lempilo yenja yakho.Ungacabanga ngakho njengezindleko zesikhathi esisodwa ukuze uthole impilo egcwele izinkumbulo ezijabulisayo.
