Koma amphaka onenepa kwambiri komanso onenepa kwambiri tsopano amaposa omwe ali ndi thanzi labwino, ndipo ma vets akuwonanso amphaka onenepa kwambiri.

“Vuto kwa ife timakonda kuwononga amphaka athu, ndipo amphaka amakonda kudya, choncho'ndikosavuta kudyetsa pang'ono,”akutero Philip J. Shanker, DVM, mwiniwake wa The Cat Hospital ku Campbell, CA.

It'ndi chinthu choyenera kuchilingalira. Ngakhale mapaundi angapo owonjezera angapangitse chiweto chanu kukhala ndi zovuta zina zathanzi monga matenda a shuga a mtundu wa 2 ndikupangitsa ena, monga nyamakazi, kuipiraipira. Zingathenso kuwalepheretsa kudzikonza bwino. Kupewa kulemera kwakukulu kuyenera kupangitsa mphaka wathanzi, wosangalala.

Amphaka ambiri amphaka ayenera kulemera pafupifupi mapaundi 10, ngakhale kuti amatha kusiyana ndi mtundu ndi chimango. Mphaka wa Siamese amatha kulemera makilogalamu 5, pomwe Maine Coon amatha kulemera mapaundi 25 komanso wathanzi.

Veterinarian wanu akhoza kukudziwitsani ngati mphaka wanu ndi wonenepa kwambiri, koma pali zizindikiro zomwe mungayang'ane nokha, akutero Melissa Mustillo, DVM, dokotala wa ziweto ku A Cat Clinic ku Maryland.“Amphaka ayenera kukhala ndi chiwerengero cha hourglass pamene inu'ndikuyang'ana pansi pa iwo, samayenera'osakhala ndi mimba yolendewera pansi, ndipo uyenera kumva nthiti zawo,”Akutero. (Palinso chosiyana: mphaka yemwe anali wonenepa amakhalabe ndi "mimba yopunduka" ataonda.)

Momwe Mungasamalire Mapaundi

Vets amati amphaka'kunenepa nthawi zambiri kumabwera ku mtundu ndi kuchuluka kwa chakudya chomwe amadya'kudyetsedwanso, pamodzi ndi kunyong'onyeka kwakale.

“Akatopa amaganiza,'Ndikhoza kupita kukadya. …O, yang'anani apo'mulibe chakudya m'mbale yanga, ine'ndiwavutitsa amayi kuti andipatse chakudya chochulukirapo,'”Mustillo akuti.

Ndipo akamalira, eni ake ambiri amalola kuti ziweto zawo zizisangalala.Koma ndizotheka kupewa kapena kuchepetsa kunenepa:

Bwezerani chakudya chouma ndi zamzitini, zomwe zimakhala ndi mapuloteni ambiri komanso ma carbohydrate ochepa. Chakudya cham'zitini ndi njira yabwino yokhazikitsira nthawi yachakudya cha chiweto chanu. Amphaka ambiri amalemera pamene eni ake asiya mbale ya kibble youma kuti adye tsiku lonse.

Chepetsani zakudya. Amphaka amachita chimodzimodzi ndi mphotho zina, monga nthawi yosewera ndi inu.

Pangani mphaka wanu ntchito chakudya chake. Ma Vets apeza amphaka ali athanzi komanso odekha eni ake akamagwiritsa ntchito“zakudya zopatsa thanzi,”zomwe mphaka amayenera kugudubuza kapena kuwongolera kuti apeze chakudya. Mutha kubisa zina m'zigawo za bokosi la vinyo kapena kudula mabowo ang'onoang'ono m'botolo lapulasitiki ndikudzaza ndi ma kibbles. Ma puzzles amachedwetsa kudya kwawo kwinaku akulowa m'malingaliro awo achilengedwe kuti azisaka ndi kudya.

Ngati muli ndi mphaka wopitilira m'modzi, mungafunikire kudyetsa mphaka wonenepa m'chipinda chosiyana kapena kuika mphaka wathanzi.'Chakudya cham'mwamba pomwe mphaka wonenepa amatha't kupita.

Ganizirani kugwiritsa ntchito microchip pet feeder, yomwe imapangitsa kuti chakudyacho chipezeke kwa nyama yomwe yalembedwa kwa wodyetsayo. Palinso ma tag apadera a kolala omwe ali njira ina ngati chiweto chanu chilibe microchip.

Musanaike mphaka wanu pazakudya, mutengereni kukayezetsa thupi kuti muwonetsetse kuti adya'Ndilibe vuto lachipatala. Zitha kukhala zokwanira kusintha msipu wa tsiku lonse pankhokwe ndi zakudya zodziwika bwino. Koma mphaka wolemera angafunikire kusintha zakudya zam'chitini kapena zakudya zapadera zomwe zimakhala ndi mapuloteni, mavitamini, ndi mchere wambiri pa calorie.

Khalani oleza mtima, akutero Mustillo.“Ngati cholinga chanu ndi [mphaka wanu] kutsika paundi, zingatenge miyezi 6 yabwino, mwina mpaka chaka. Iwo'mochedwa kwambiri.”

Ndipo don'musachite mantha ngati mphaka wanu's kumbali yokhotakhota, Shanker akuti. Veterinarian wanu angakuthandizeni.

“Ngati mphaka'ndi wodzaza pang'ono, sichoncho't kutanthauza iwo'adzafa ndi matenda a mtima,”Akutero.

Chinthu chimodzi choyenera kukumbukira: Don'sindidzafa ndi njala mphaka wanu. Amphaka, makamaka akuluakulu, akhoza kulowa m'chiwindi ngati satero'osadya ngakhale kwa masiku angapo.
