Ngokugxila ekuvimbeleni izifo, ukuphila kahle ngokomzimba nangokokuziphatha, kanye nokusiza ekwenzeni izilwane esizinakekelayo zamukeleke, ithimba le-HSSC le-Shelter Medicine liphatha izidingo zezokwelapha ezihlukahlukene. Kusukela ekunakekelweni okujwayelekile kokuvikela kuye ekusebenzeni okuphelele kwezokwelapha, ukuhlinzwa, nodokotela bamazinyo, silwela ukunikeza ukunakekelwa kwezokwelapha kwekhwalithi ephezulu kakhulu ngangokunokwenzeka.

Iminikelo yakho ku-Angels Fund yethu isekela izinqubo zokusindisa impilo yezilwane esizinakekelayo. Sithatha izilwane eziningi ezilimele kanye nezempilo ezisengozini ezindlini zokukhosela eziminyene ngenxa yamakhono ethu okuhlinzwa, okusivumela ukuba sisindise izilwane ebezingabulawa. Siyabonga ngokusekela kwakho lezi zinqubo ezibalulekile eziqinisekisa imiphumela enempilo, nejabulisayo ezilwaneni eziswele.

Mission yethu

Umgomo wethu obalulekile ukuhlinzeka ngokunakekelwa kwezokwelapha okunciphisa ubude bokuhlala baso sonke isibalo sezilwane zethu. Lokhu kusho ukuvimbela ukugula, ukusebenzisana nethimba lethu lokuziphatha, okuqukethe ukuqubuka kwezifo ezithathelwanayo ngokushesha, ukuhlinzeka ngosizo kubazali bokutholwa, nokusebenzisana eduze nabatholwa ukuze bakwazi ukunakekela izilwane ezinezimo ezilawulekayo.

Nakuba sisebenza kanzima futhi izinsuku zethu zingaba zinde, kuyazuzisa ukwazi ukuthi imizamo yeqembu lethu yenza umehluko ngempela ezilwaneni esizinakekelayo.

Singobani Thina

Ithimba lethu lemithi yokukhosela liqukethe odokotela bezilwane abathathu, ochwepheshe bezilwane abane ababhalisiwe (ama-RVT), abasizi bezilwane abayisishiyagalombili, kanye nenqwaba yamavolontiya azinikele. Izisebenzi zezokwelapha ze-Shelter zisebenza eduze nokunakekelwa kwezilwane, ukukhuliswa kwezingane okungebona abazali bazo, ukudla kanye nokulaliswa, ukuziphatha, kanye nabasebenzi bokutholwa ukuze banikeze ukunakekelwa okuhambisanayo ezilwaneni ezihlaliswe ezindaweni zethu ezimbili zokukhosela kanye nasezikhungweni zokutholwa.

Yini esingayenza

Ithimba lemithi yokukhosela lihlala limatasa izinsuku eziyisikhombisa ngesonto, izinsuku ezingama-365 ngonyaka, linakekela izindawo zethu zokukhosela. Baqala usuku ngalunye “ngemijikelezo yokukhosela” lapho behlola zonke izilwane ezihlala endaweni yokukhosela ukuze baqinisekise ukuthi banazo ezikudingayo kanye nokuqapha noma yiziphi izinkinga zempilo eziqhubekayo. Ngokuhamba kosuku, benza izivivinyo zomzimba, bahlole izifo, banikeze ukwelashwa, futhi balandele izindaba ezikhona zezokwelapha. Ama-DVM enza ukuhlinzwa kanye nezinqubo zokuthulisa, futhi abasebenzi abasekelayo benza amazinyo, ama-x-ray, futhi basize ekuhlinzeni.

Umuthi Wendawo Yokuhlala Ojabulayo

Xhuma futhi Zelda
Namuhla, sifuna ukwabelana ngendaba yempumelelo ethokozisayo mayelana namabhola amabili athandekayo, i-Link kanye ne-Zelda, abanqobe izinselele zombandamu futhi bathola amakhaya abo angunaphakade.

I-Ringworm, isifo sokukhunta esithathelwanayo, sivame kakhulu emazinyaneni asemancane anamasosha omzimba athuthukayo. Kwa-HSSC, sithatha impilo yabangane bethu abanoboya njengento engathi sína, ngakho-ke wonke amakati namakati ahlolelwa ngokuphelele izikelemu lapho efika. Ukuqothuka kwezinwele kanye nezilonda eziwuqweqwe kuhlolwa ngokucophelela ngaphansi kwesibani sokhuni, esikhipha i-apula eluhlaza okotshani obukhanyayo lapho kutholwa umbandamu. Lapho umngane onoboya kutholakala ukuthi unombandamu, uthola ukunakekelwa okukhethekile endaweni ehlala yedwa, lapho ejoyinwa ezinye izilwane ezilwa nalesi sifo. Abasebenzi bethu abazinikele, abafaka izinto zokuzivikela ezilahlwayo, babanikeza ukunakekelwa kwethenda abakudingayo phakathi nohambo lwabo lokwelashwa.

Ukwelapha umbandamu kuyindlela ekabili. Okokuqala, iziguli zethu ezithandekayo zithola amadiphu e-lime sulfur kabili ngesonto ukusiza ukuqeda ukhunta. Okwesibili, bathola imishanguzo ye-antifungal yomlomo nsuku zonke yokulwa nesifo ngaphakathi. Lokhu kwelashwa ngokuvamile kuthatha amasonto ambalwa.

Kodwa akupheleli lapho – laba bantu abathanda ubumnandi baphinde bazalwa bene-cerebellar hypoplasia (CH), isimo esingatheleleki nesingenabuhlungu esithinta ukunyakaza nokulinganisela kwabo. Naphezu kwezinselele, bamukela ukuphila ngenjabulo nothando.

Ake sizwe ngalawa masosha! Sizinikele ekubungazeni izindaba zempumelelo ezithokozisayo ezifana ne-Link kanye ne-Zelda. Kungakhathaliseki ukuthi ukhetha ukugqugquzela, ukunikela, noma ukutholwa, wenza umthelela obalulekile, omuhle ezimpilweni zalezi zilwane, futhi ngalokho, sidlulisa ukubonga kwethu kuwe okusuka enhliziyweni!

Ukusuka "ohlwini" ukuya ekhaya ekugcineni - uhambo lukaCalcifer lokutholwa

Uyasazi lesi sisho esithi “uma uthatha isilwane usuke usindisa izimpilo ezimbili – isilwane osithathayo kanye naleso esithola leso sikhala endaweni yokukhosela?” Ngesikhathi lapho izilwane eziningi zingena ezindaweni zokukhosela kunokuzishiya, le nkulumo ithatha ithoni ephuthuma nakakhulu ezilwaneni ezifana neCalcifer. I-tabby grey enothando yeza kithi, kanye namanye amakati amaningana avela endaweni yokukhosela yaseCentral Valley lapho ayesohlwini lwe-euthanasia ngenxa yezimo zezempilo.

Ozakwethu bokutakula abazinikele, abazikhandlayo bebesebenza ngezinga eliphezulu kakhulu kulo nyaka odlule futhi babhekene nezinqumo ezinzima mayelana nomthamo. Besisebenza nabo ukuze sithathe izilwane eziningi ngendlela esingakwazi ngayo isonto ngalinye. Njengoba inkathi yezinyane lekati inyakaza ngokugcwele kanye nokwehla kokutholwa kwehlobo ehlobo, silindele ukuthi lezi zicelo ezidabukisayo zizoqhubeka esikhathini esizayo esibonakalayo.
Asazi ukuthi impilo kaCalcifer yayinjani ngaphambi kokuthi angene ohlelweni lokukhosela. SIYAZI ukuthi wayengomunye wamakati amahle kakhulu esake sahlangana nawo! Ngesikhathi elinganiselwa eminyakeni engu-12 ubudala, wayezacile kakhulu ngesikhathi efika kwa-HSSC ngo-April. Wayeneso langakwesokunxele, izindlebe ezingcolile kanye notwayi ebusweni nasentanyeni. Ithimba lethu lodokotela bezilwane limnike uketshezi, lamgeza futhi lamlapha izindlebe namanxeba, laphinde lasebenza igazi.
Kukho konke, iCalcifer yahlanza njengengcweti. Wakwenza kwacaca ukuthi into eza kuqala kuye ekuphileni kwakuwukuba phakathi kwabantu abanomusa. Elinye lamavolontiya ethu okunakekela amakati lathi uCalicifer “wayeyikati elibi kunawo wonke endaweni yokukhosela futhi enothando kakhulu.” Lapho ephuma ekamelweni lakhe, wema ngemilenze yangemuva wabeka imilenze yakhe yangaphambili phezu kwamahlombe akhe!

Ithimba legazi eliphezulu likaCalcifer labuya ngokwejwayelekile kodwa wahlolwa ukuthi une-FIV, isifo esisakazwa kakhulu sisuka ekati siye ekatini ngamanxeba okulwa nokulunywa. Amakati ane-FIV angaphila ukuphila okugcwele ngaphandle kwanoma yiziphi izimpawu zesifo, kodwa sasikhathazekile ngamanxeba akhe ayephuza ukuphola. Ithimba lethu lodokotela bezilwane lithole ukuthi yizicubu zesikhumba ezinezilonda ezidinga ukuhlinzwa. I-biopsy yabonisa ukuthi izixuku zaziwuhlobo lomdlavuza wesikhumba kodwa zazikhishwe ngokuphelele. UDkt. Kat Menard, udokotela wezilwane we-HSSC, iShelter Medicine, uthe imiphumela ingase ibonise isifo sikaBowen, esingadala izilonda ezikhula kancane kumakati amadala. Izindaba ezinhle ukuthi “zivame ukungalithinti kakhulu izinga lempilo yekati” futhi “azisabalali kwezinye izitho zomzimba”, uDkt. Kat uyasitshela. Futhi, kunezinketho zokwelashwa ezitholakalayo uma i-Calcifer izidinga kamuva ekuphileni.

Siyajabula ukwabelana ngokuthi uCalcifer usanda kushiya indawo yethu yokukhosela ezingalweni zomuntu onomusa ozibophezele ukuqapha inhlalakahle yakhe, nokumnika konke ukunethezeka nokuhlangana akulangazelelayo!

NGIYABONGA!

Sibonga kakhulu ngokuba yingxenye yomphakathi ochichima uzwelo ngezilwane. Kusukela kubamukeli abazimisele kakhulu ukuthanda ngaphandle kwemibandela kanye "nokusindisa izimpilo ezimbili", kuya kozakwethu bokutakula abasebenza ngokuzikhandla ukuze banikeze izindlela ezinhle ezilwaneni lapho isikhala nezinsiza kuphelelwa yisikhathi - kanye NAWE. Ukwesekwa kwakho kusenza sikwazi ukuhlala sithembekile ekuphenduleni lezi zicelo eziphuthumayo futhi sisindise izimpilo!

Umgwaqo Omkhulu Oya Endaweni Yasekhaya!

Umgwaqo onguthelawayeka utholwe njengenhlanhla elimele eHealdsburg. Umsila wakhe wawuphukile futhi udephile kancane. Leli kati elimpofu lalidlule ezintweni eziningi, futhi ukulimala kwalo kwakudinga ukunakwa ngokushesha. Wadluliselwa endaweni yethu yokukhosela yaseSanta Rosa lapho ithimba lethu Lodokotela lamnquma umsila wakhe. Sayiqamba ngokuthi u-Highway ukuhlonipha ikati langaphambili lokukhosela elibizwa ngokuthi uFreeway elinokulimala okufanayo. UHighway wayeyisiguli esihle kakhulu futhi walulama kahle. Imvelo yakhe yothando kanye nokubukeka okuthambile okuthandekayo kwamenza wangavinjwa, ngakho-ke akumangazi ukuthi wathathwa ngokushesha! Sibonga kakhulu ethimbeni lethu elivelele Le-Shelter Medicine ngokusiza umgwaqo omkhulu ululame futhi uchume, kanye naseqenjini lethu elimangalisayo Lokutholwa ngokumsiza ukuthi athole ikhaya laphakade.

LUDO

Kwaba nesicelo esiphuthumayo esivela endaweni yokukhosela esizakwethu e-Stanislaus, babethungatha befuna enye indawo yokukhosela yokuhlenga uLudo. Wayehlelelwe i-euthanasia ngo-4:30 ntambama ngalo lolo suku, futhi i-HSSC kwaba yindlela yakhe yokugcina. Umugqa wesihloko ku-imeyili yabo ubhale ukuthi “Ucingo Lokugcina ???? LUDO mfana ophelele! ????” , lapho ithimba lethu le-Admissions liphendula ngentshiseko "Yebo sizomthatha!", intambo ye-imeyili yagcwala izinyembezi nokubonga.

I-Ludo iyinja ekhethekile enomlenze wangemuva wesokudla okhubazekile. Lapho efika e-HSSC, ithimba lethu lemithi yokukhosela lasebenza ukuze lithole ukuthi kwenzakalani ngayo. Baphawula ukuthi i-tibia ne-fibula yakhe kwakumfushane ngokungavamile nokuthi kungenzeka ukuthi wayenezipho eziphindwe kabili zamazolo noma mhlawumbe nozwane owengeziwe! Bathola nokuthi wayenezinyo eliphukile, ngakho lapho uLudo ehlinzwa i-neuter, bamkhipha izinyo eliphukile bathatha ama-radiograph emlenzeni wakhe.

Ithimba lethu lichithe isikhathi esithile lihlola ukuhamba kwakhe futhi lanquma ukuthi kufanele agcine isitho sakhe njengoba ngezikhathi ezithile esisebenzisa ukuze asize ngokulinganisela, futhi asimphazamisi. Sijabule kakhulu ukuthi le nja emnandi ingagwema ukuhlinzwa okwesabisa kanje. Umlenze kaLudo awumnciphisi nakancane, uhlala ejabule futhi ekhuthele. Usondeza amagceke ethu okudlala futhi wenze inqwaba yabangane nabasebenzi namavolontiya! Sijabule kakhulu ngokusiza le ndoda ejabule ukuthi ithole ikhaya elinothando elimfanele!

DOTHRAKI

Inkinga yabasebenzi ebilokhu ibhekene nezindawo zokukhosela ezweni lonke onyakeni odlule ayikhombisi ukudikibala. Lapha kwa-HSSC, siyaqhubeka nokusebenzisana nozakwethu bokuhlenga baseNyakatho Bay lapho bebhekene nezinqumo ezinzima mayelana nezilwane ezisengozini enkulu - kuhlanganisa nalezo ezinezinkinga zezokwelapha ezilaphekayo - ngenxa yokuntuleka kwendawo. Ukwesekwa kwakho kuyasisiza ngempela ukuthi sisindise lezi zimpilo eziyigugu!

Ngonyaka odlule, isibhedlela sethu sokukhosela sahlinzeka ngokunakekelwa kwezilwane ezingaphezu kwe-1,000 izilwane ezingenamakhaya ezisendleleni yokutholwa. Kulo nyaka, umthamo wezilwane zokukhosela ezidingayo uyaqhubeka nokukhula. Sisindisa izilwane ezinjengoDothraki, ikati elineminyaka engu-5 ubudala elalisengcupheni ye-euthanasia endaweni yokukhosela yaseCentral Valley egcwele kakhulu ngenxa yesimo sayo sezempilo esibucayi. Elinye lamehlo akhe lalilikhulu ngendlela engavamile futhi linegciwane, futhi lalidinga ukuhlinzwa (ukukhipha iso) ukuze aphile impilo enempilo, enethezekile. Wadluliselwa kithi ngesikhathi nje kulo Mashi odlule, kanye namanye amakati amaningana nenja nabo ababehlelelwe ukubulawa kwesiguli.

Naphezu kobuhlungu iso lakhe ebelimdalela lona, ​​uDothraki wayenothile futhi enothando kusukela ngesikhathi efika. Ngokusobala ukuphila kwakhe kwakugxile kubantu! Ukuhlinzwa kwakhe nokwelulama kwahamba kahle futhi, ngokuphazima kweso, wathola ikhaya lapho ezohlala khona futhi ethandwa unomphela.

Siyaqhubeka nokudluliswa okuphuthumayo okuningi isonto ngalinye. Siyabonga ngokusisiza ukuthi sisebenze njengesibani sethemba ezilwaneni ezidinga amathuba esibili.

I-ColT

UColt une-groggy kancane. Uphuma nje edakiwe efuna ama-snuggles ethimbeni lethu lodokotela wezilwane, abajabule kakhulu ukuthi bangavuma. Ingxube ye-hound enhle izincibilikise ngokuphelele izinhliziyo zethu, kodwa empeleni yinhliziyo yakhe esiyibhekile.

UColt une-Heartworm, isifo esisakazeka ezinjeni ngomiyane. Lapho umiyane onaleli gciwane uluma inja, ushiya izibungu ezithelelekayo, ezivuthwa zibe izikelemu zenhliziyo ezindala. (Okwamanje, singakubonisa isithombe sezikelemu zenhliziyo ezithelelanayo, kodwa singathanda ukukubonisa izithombe eziningi zobuso obuhle bukaColt!)

Uma kuqhathaniswa nezinja, amakati awakwazi ukumelana nokutheleleka, kodwa kusengenzeka. Lezi zinambuzane zingabangela ukuhluleka kwenhliziyo, izifo zamaphaphu kanye nokulimala kwezinye izitho. Akukhona nje kuphela ukuthi i-Heartworm ingaba yingozi empilweni yezilwane, ukwelashwa kudinga uchungechunge lwemijovo edayisiwe kanye nemithi yomlomo ezinyangeni ezimbalwa, kanye nokuhlolwa kabusha nomsebenzi olinganiselwe kakhulu.

Ukwelashwa kwezikelemu zenhliziyo kuthatha isikhathi eside, kuyinkimbinkimbi futhi kuyingozi. Nokho, ngokujabulisayo, ukukunqanda kulula kakhulu! Ngokusho kwe-Marin/Sonoma Mosquito & Vector Control Abatement District, izinja ngokuvamile zisengozini enkulu yokuthola lesi sifo kusukela ngoMeyi kuya ku-Agasti. Lokhu kusho ukuthi MANJE isikhathi esikahle sokukhuluma nodokotela wakho wezilwane mayelana nendlela engcono kakhulu yokuvimbela ngokusekelwe ezicini eziyingozi zesilwane sakho esifuywayo kanye nendlela yokuphila.

Saqala ukwelashwa kukaColt lapho eqala ukuza kithi evela endaweni yokukhosela ozakwethu futhi, njengoba esekhuliswe ingane yokutholwa, sizoqhubeka nokusebenza nomndeni wakhe omusha ngesikhathi sokwelashwa kwakhe. Sibonga kakhulu emndenini wakhe ngokusinikeza ikhaya eliphephile, elinothando lapho engaqhubeka khona nokuphulukiswa futhi abheke phambili ezikhathini zokuphila zokunethezeka nezikhathi ezimnandi ezizayo.

UKODAK

Impilo igcwele izimanga. Ngeke wazi ukuthi uzohlangana nobani noma ozoshintsha impilo yakho unomphela.

Asazi ukuthi ubudlwane bakudala babunjani kuMoose (manje oseyi-Kodak). Singacabanga nje ukuthi izinsuku zakhe zazigcwele ukucindezeleka nokungaqiniseki. Thina do yazi isikhathi lapho yonke into yashintsha yaba ngcono: usuku umuntu ongamazi okhathalelayo amthola egijima epaki lendawo - ethukile futhi esengozini - futhi wamletha endaweni ephephile e-HSSC.

Umtholi wakhe wayevakashile evela ngaphandle kwedolobha, kodwa wasicela ukuba sixhumane naye uma sinezinkinga zokuthola ikhaya laphakade lomdlwane ongumalusi okhulayo. Ukubheka okukodwa kulawo mehlo ansundu acacile futhi asizange sicabange ukuthi sizoba nenkinga!

Ithimba lethu labathathayo lizimisele ngokunikeza u-Kodak ukuhlolwa kwakhe kokuqala. Wayembozwe imikhaza; bawadonsa emzimbeni wonke nasezindlebeni zakhe. Uphinde waba ne-umbilical hernia ecishe ilingane nebhola lomphebezo - isimo sokuzalwa esivamile esingasilungisa ngokuhlinzwa okuvamile ngesikhathi sokuhlinzwa kwakhe kwe-neuter, uma kungekho muntu oweza ukumfuna ngaphambi kwalokho.

Akekho noyedwa owake wamfuna, kodwa lokho akusho ukuthi walinda “ekubanjweni kwakhe” yedwa! Njengazo zonke izilwane esizinakekelayo, wathola i-TLC eningi kanye nobungane njengoba sasimnakekela ohambweni lwakhe. Ukuqinisekisa ukuthi uthola isamba esikhulu sokuxhumana nabantu, wachitha isonto nelinye lamavolontiya ethu okukhulisa izinja kuze kufike isikhathi sokuhlinzwa kwakhe.

I-pivot esindisa impilo

Usuku lokuhlinzwa kuka-Kodak lwafika futhi lwaletha isimanga esikhulu. Ngemva kwenqubo yakhe ye-neuter, uMqondisi wethu Wezinsizakalo Zokwelashwa Kwezilwane, uLisa Labrecque, u-DVM, waqhubeka nokuhlinzwa ukuze alungise i-hernia yakhe. “Ngithe ngiqeda ukumsika inkaba ngasesiswini, ngezwa kuheleza umoya ongachazwa wumoya ophuma esifubeni noma emaphashini. Lokho kwaba umkhondo wami wokuqala wokuthi kukhona okuxaka kakhulu okwenzekayo,” kusho uDkt. Lisa. “Ngilandele isicubu se-herniated ngaze ngafika ku-diaphragm ngabona ukuthi sidlula kuso. Ngasikhipha isicubu ngobumnene futhi, ngokumangala, inyongo yalandela kwase kuba isibindi!”

Izitho zesisu sika-Kodak zaziphume nge-diaphragm zingene esifubeni sakhe. Ngaphandle kwe-diaphragm, uDkt. Lisa wayazi ukuthi wayengeke akwazi ukuphefumula yedwa futhi kwakudingeka acabange ngokushesha. “Waphefumulela” uchwepheshe wakhe ngokucindezela isikhwama sokugcina amanzi emshinini wokulalisa izinzwa ukuze afuthe amaphaphu ka-Kodak njalo ngemizuzwana eyi-8 – 10. Weza omunye udokotela wezilwane osebenza naye ukuze amsize ekumbekeni kahle, ukuze uDkt. Lisa abone i-diaphragm yakhe egcwele futhi alungise indawo evulekile.

UDkt. Lisa ukholelwa ukuthi u-Kodak “wayene-peritoneopericardial diaphragmatic hernia (PPDH), lapho okuphakathi kwesisu kuya esikhwameni se-pericardial, esivale inhliziyo.” Kuma-x-reyi wakhe wangemva kokuhlinzwa, wayekwazi ukubona inani elikhulu lomoya esikhwameni sakhe se-pericardial, “ephakamisa ukuthi kukhona ukuxhumana phakathi kwamaphaphu ne-pericardial sac.”

Ukuhlinzwa okukhulu kwase kuqediwe. UDkt. Lisa nethimba lakhe bamqaphe ngeso elibukhali u-Kodak ukuze baqiniseke ukuthi wayeziphefumulela yedwa kuyilapho belinde umzimba wakhe ukuba uphinde ubambe “wonke umoya obengeziwe obekungamelwe ube sesifubeni sakhe nasesakeni le-pericardial.”

Ngenxa yamakhono abo aqeqeshelwe kahle kanye nokuba nekhanda elipholile, ukuhlinzwa kuka-Kodak kwaba yimpumelelo! Wahlala ngaphansi kokunakekelwa kwezilwane izinsuku ezimbalwa ukuze ukuphulukiswa kwakhe kuqashwe ngeso elibukhali. Walulama ngendlela emangalisayo futhi, uma uthando lwakhe lokukhuhlwa isisu lwaluyinkomba, sasazi ukuthi wayekulungele ukuthola ikhaya lapho ayengathandwa khona phakade!

Imihlangano yamathuba

Mhlawumbe isimanga esikhulu kunazo zonke seza kumuntu otholwa ngu-Kodak, uCrystal – wayengacabangi ukuthi ufuna ukuthola inja. Umzala wakhe wayemkhulisa futhi uCrystal wayefuna ukukhombisa izingane zakhe “ukuthi imidlwane ayigcini nje ngokuba mihle kodwa iwumsebenzi omningi, futhi kwambuyisela emuva! Wayezolile kakhulu futhi enomoya omuhle!”

Manje njengoba u-Kodak eseyilungu lomndeni ka-Crystal ngokusemthethweni, uphila impilo egcwele uthando “nezikhathi ze-Kodak” – okuhlanganisa nokuvakashela kwakhe okokuqala eqhweni, uhambo lokukhempa, imiqhudelwano ye-volleyball (uyi-mascot yeqembu!) kanye “nokuphola nje” nomndeni wakhe. “Simyisa yonke indawo,” kusho uCrystal. Usanda kuthweswa iziqu ekilasini le-HSSC's KinderPuppy lapho, njengomdlwane omkhulu kunabo bonke ekilasini, enze abangane abasha bezinja bazo zonke izinhlobo nosayizi. Omunye wothisha bakhe, i-Canine Behavior Programme Manager yakwa-HSSC, u-Lynnette Smith, uthi u-Kodak “mkhulu, uthambile futhi unomdlandla kakhulu wokudla!” Kukhulu kangakanani? Umndeni wakhe wenza i-DNA test futhi wafunda ukuthi u-86% German Shepherd kanye ne-13.6% Saint Bernhard!

Ngiyabonga!

Uhambo lwesilwane ngasinye luhlukile. Ezinye zidinga ukwesekwa kokuziphatha okujulile ukuze ziphole ngokomzwelo. Abanye - njengo-Kodak - badinga ukunakekelwa kwezokwelapha okukhethekile ukuze baqhubeke nokuphila impilo enempilo. Kodwa ngamunye uphethe zonke izixhumanisi zothando abazenzile endleleni. Wenza lokhu kwenzeke futhi sibonga kakhulu. Kusukela kubantu esingabazi abacabanga ngokushesha kuye kumavolontiya ethu azinikele nabanikeli bezingelosi - umphakathi wethu onozwela ubhebhethekisa umsebenzi wethu osindisa ukuphila futhi ushintsha izimpilo zezilwane unomphela!

TWIST

I-Twist iyingxenye ye-acrobat, ingxenye yomshini we-purr kanye nekati engu-100%! Ujaha ithoyizi lakhe ngobuhlakani, ame ukuze acele ukuklwebheka ezihlathini, abese eqala ngokugxuma okudlalayo nama-pirouette. Ezinyangeni ezinhlanu ubudala, useyingane” ebuka umhlaba ngokuzethemba nangelukuluku lokufuna ukwazi. Futhi, ngenxa yozwelo lwakho, umhlaba wakhe ukhanya kakhulu!

I-Twist yayisesimweni esisengozini futhi iphelelwa yizinketho ngokushesha ngaphambi kokuza ku-HSSC kulo Septhemba odlule. Endaweni yakhe yokukhosela yangaphambili, wethula isifo ngezinye izikhathi esaziwa ngokuthi yi-Orphaned Kitten Prepuce Syndrome. Lokhu kwenzeka lapho amakati ayizintandane, umama engekho, encelisa izitho zangasese zezelamani ngephutha. Lokhu kungaholela esibazini futhi ekugcineni kubangele ukulimala kanye nokuvinjwa kokuvuleka komchamo. Lokhu kulungiselela isilwane ukuze sibhekane nezifo ezibuhlungu zomchamo kanye nokuvinjelwa okusongela ukuphila kodwa kungalungiswa ngokuhlinzwa.

Ngeshwa, ukuhlinzwa kwakungeyona inketho endaweni yokukhosela yangaphambilini ye-Twist. Ayeminyene futhi ebhekene nokwenza izinqumo ezinzima kakhulu, ezidabukisa kakhulu: I-Twist namanye amakati amaningana anezinkinga zezokwelapha (kuhlanganise nayisishiyagalombili anemibandamu) ayezobulawa ngaphandle uma engathola indawo yokubekwa kwenye indawo. Ngokujabulisayo, sakwazi ukuthola indawo futhi sabangenisa bonke.

Ithimba lethu lodokotela bezilwane lithole umzila ongemuhle kakhulu we-Twist - ukuhlinzwa okubizwa nge-Preputial Urethrostomy. I-HSSC DVM i-Ada Norris ichaza inqubo njengomzamo "wokusindisa i-anatomy nokudala uhlelo olusebenzayo lokuchama." Isimo sakhe sasinzima kakhulu, nokho, kangangokuthi ekugcineni wadinga ukuhlinzwa okwesibili, okuphelele kwe-Perineal Urethrostomy. Ukuhlinzwa kwaba yimpumelelo. I-Twist ilulama futhi izotholakala maduze ukuze yamukelwe. “Uyizinyane lekati elijabule kunawo wonke futhi ubonakala ekwazisa ngakho konke ukungenelela kwethu,” kusho uDkt.

Kulo nyaka, sithathe inqwaba yamakati namakati angenwe umbandamu ayengenayo enye indawo ayengaphendukela kuyo. Lesi sikhunta esitheleleka kakhulu sidinga izikhathi zokwelashwa ezinde kanye nezimiso eziqinile zokuzihlukanisa - izinsiza ezingaphezu kwamandla amaningi okuhlenga ozakwethu bethu. Ngezinye izikhathi la makati ahlushwa izifo ezinzima zokuphefumula okuphezulu, okudingeka ukwelashwa ngesikhathi esifanayo. Esiqongweni sethu esiphezulu kuleli hlobo, besinamawodi amane agcwele okuhlala sodwa phakathi kwezindawo zethu zokukhosela zase-Santa Rosa nase-Healdsburg!

Yini eyenza sikwazi ukwandisa amandla ethu okuthola izilwane ezisengozini kakhulu?

Ububele nokuxhumana kwabaningi, okuhlanganisa:

Amavolontiya Ethu Abathandekayo
Abasebenzi bethu babonga kakhulu ngamavolontiya ethu azinikele achitha amahora ambalwa ngosuku esiza ngokwelashwa kwe-dip kanye nokuzijabulisa namakati anesifo ukuze awasize azizwe ekhululekile futhi ethandwa.
Njengoba uSaffron Williams, Umphathi Wohlelo Lwe-HSSC Feline Behavior, echaza, “amakati alashelwa izikelemu, uma nje enganakwa ngesikhathi somuthi, akhe ubudlelwane obungebuhle nabantu. Ukuba nezivakashi ezingaguquki ezizodlala nazo, zihlale nazo ngenkathi zidla, futhi zifuyile futhi ziziphathe ngenye indlela, kuqinisekisa ukuthi zizoba nolwazi oluhle nabantu.”

UMary, omunye walezi zisebenzi zokuzithandela ezikhethekile, uhamba ibanga elide futhi udala amathoyizi alahlwayo ngesandla ngezinto ezigaywe kabusha. Nakuba la makati ehlala ezigcemeni ezingazodwa amasonto amaningi ngesikhathi, uMary namathoyizi akhe okukhahlela bawacebisa kakhulu. Amavolontiya ethu okutholwa angesinye isizathu esenza sikwazi ukusindisa izilwane ngesikhathi ezisidinga kakhulu. Bavula amakhaya abo ezilwaneni ezilulama ekuguleni noma ekuhlinzweni - noma izilwane ezingakalungeli ukutholwa - ukuze sibe nendawo yokunakekela izilwane eziningi ezindaweni zethu zokukhosela. Umphathi Wohlelo lwe-HSSC Foster u-Nicole Gonzales njengamanje ufuna abantu abazobasiza ukuze basize ngamanye amaqembu ethu azwela kakhulu - ama-kittens amabhodlela kanye nalawo anezifo ezithathelwanayo, njengombandamu. “Ukukhulisa izikelemu kudinga indawo ezinikele yezilwane ezingabulawa kalula amagciwane,” uyachaza. "Igumbi lokugezela eliyisipele noma igumbi lokulala eline-tile flooring lisebenza kahle." Abazali bokutholwa bagqoka izinto zokuzivikela, futhi sinikeza zonke izinto zokwakha nokuqeqeshwa okudingekayo.

Ozakwethu Besifunda Bokuhlenga
Izindawo zokukhosela ezweni lonke bezibhekene nokuminyana okungakaze kubonwe kulo nyaka futhi indawo yethu ayihlukile. Sithulela isigqoko ozakwethu bethu bokutakula baseNorth Bay ababambisene nathi ukuze basihlinzeke
izindlela zokusindisa impilo yezilwane ezisengozini. Esikhathini lapho imboni yethu iqhubeka nokushoda kwabasebenzi nezinye izinselele ezinzima, uthando lwabo nokusebenza kanzima kusigcina sinyakaza.
phambili ngamandla nethemba. Sisonke kulokhu!

Abaxhasi Bethu Abanozwelo
Ukuzibophezela kwakho ezilwaneni kusenza sikwazi ukuzithoba futhi sisabele lapho esiphila nabo kulo lonke elaseCalifornia sifinyelela kithi futhi izimpilo eziyigugu zisengozini. Ngenkathi imboni yethu iqhubeka nokuzulazula ezikhathini eziyinselele, ngempela wenza umehluko osindisa impilo - wenza kube nokwenzeka ngathi ukuphendula lezi zingcingo ukuze sithole usizo. Iminikelo yakho yozwelo kwi-Angels Fund yethu iqonda ngqo ekunakekelweni kwezilwane ezidinga usizo olusendleleni yokutholwa. Siyabonga ngokwenza umphakathi wethu indawo ephephile ukuze izilwane ziphumelele ngokuseseka kwenu kothando.

Frozen iyingxube enhle ye-Lhasa Apso eneminyaka engu-7 edluliselwe kithi isuka endaweni yokukhosela yozakwethu e-Sacramento. Wafika edinga ukukhishwa kwe-neuter nokuhlinzwa, noma ukukhishwa, kwelinye lamehlo akhe. Le scruffernutter encane yayiyisiguli esihle sethimba lethu lezokwelapha futhi, njengoba ephulukiswa ekuhlinzweni, uFrozen washeshe waba yivolontiya nentandokazi yabasebenzi ngenxa yobungane bakhe, imvelo ejabulisayo. Akumangazi ukuthi lo mfana omncane othandekayo wamukelwa ngokushesha phakathi kwamaviki ama-2 efikile! Sijabule kakhulu ngokuthi simsize endleleni yakhe yezempilo kanye nekhaya.

I-Pinwheel wafika e-HSSC njengenhlanhla, watholakala eduze kwamasimu amagilebhisi e-Geyserville. Inesisindo esingaphansi kwekhilogremu le ngane empofu yayimbozwe amazeze nezibungu futhi inegciwane elibi elibi elidlulela esweni langakwesokunxele okwabangela ukuba liqhume. Wayemncane kakhulu ukuthi angahlinzwa, ngakho ithimba lethu le-Shelter Medicine lamqalisa ngama-antibiotics kanye nemithi yezinhlungu ukuze limgcine ekhululekile ngenkathi ekhula.

Ngokushesha wafakwa endaweni yokunakekela izingane. Abasebenzi bethu ababili babelane ngezibopho zokuyisa le ntombazane emnandi ekhaya ukuze iyondle futhi igcine amanxeba ayo ehlanzekile. Bametha igama elithi Pinwheel. Ngemva kwamasonto ambalwa okunakekelwa kothando, wayesemkhulu ngokwanele ukuba ahlinzwe ukuze akhiphe iso lakhe. U-Little Pinwheel walulama futhi watholwa omunye wabazali bakhe bokutholwa naye osebenza eQenjini lethu Lemithi Yendawo Yokuhlala!

U-Pinwheel manje ubizwa ngokuthi u-Penny futhi uphila ngokujabula okukhulu nomndeni wakhe omusha ohlanganisa umngane wakhe omkhulu omusha, elinye ikati le-HSSC Alum okuthiwa uNolan, elimthandayo, elimlungisayo, futhi eliseduze kwakhe nsuku zonke!

Lamakati amathathu afika ephethwe yi-conjunctivitis enzima. Sabaqala ngemishanguzo futhi lapho ukuvuvukala nokuphuma kwamanzi sekuqala ukuxazulula kwabonakala ukuthi izinhlayiya zamehlo zazingavamile. Amakati amabili (amabili anombala we-buff lighter) anesimo esibizwa ngokuthi i-microphthalmia okusho ukuthi amehlo awo mancane kunokuvamile futhi angase angakhuli kahle. Endabeni yala makati amabili amehlo awo ayemancane kangangokuthi kunzima ukubona ukuthi anawo nhlobo amehlo futhi cishe awaboni noma awaboni kahle. Amehlo ekati yesithathu ayekhulisiwe (i-buphthalmos) futhi ama-corneas akhe ayenezinguquko ezithile ezingapheli ngakho senza i-enucleation yamazwe amabili noma ukususwa ngokuhlinzwa kwawo womabili amehlo ngesikhathi sokungena kwe-neuter. Balulama ngemva kokuhlinzwa futhi bamukelwa ngokushesha.

Pony Boy waba intandokazi yezisebenzi zezokwelapha zokukhosela ngemva kwamahora amaningi emnakekela. Eseyingane encane kakhulu, wabhekana nokuhlukumezeka esithweni sakhe sangasese okwaphazamisa ikhono lakhe lokuchama. Waphuma waya emndenini wokutholwa onothando ukuze uqashwe eduze kwaze kwaba yilapho esemdala ngokwanele ukuba angalaliswa izinzwa. Lapho isilungile, ithimba lethu labelaphi bendawo yokukhosela lenza ukuhlinzwa ukuze kwandiswe imbobo ye-prepuce yakhe ukuze achame kalula. Ngemuva kokuhlinzwa, waphiwa ivesti elimnandi elibizwa ngeSuitical elamsiza ekwelapheni kwakhe. Wayeyikati elinemfashini kakhulu endaweni yokukhosela! Upony Boy ululeme kahle ekuhlinzweni kwakhe futhi sonke sajabula kakhulu ukubona ingane yekati edlalayo, enothando nendala ayeseyiyo! Lapho esevunyelwe ngokusemthethweni ukuba athathwe, uPony Boy wathathwa ngokushesha umndeni omusha, onothando. Besingeke simjabulele lomfana omnandi.

Scout weza kithi nenqulu ephukile eyayidinga inqubo yokuhlinzwa eyaziwa ngokuthi i-femoral head ostectomy (noma i-FHO) ukuyilungisa. Kule nqubo inhloko ye-femur ikhishwa ngokuhlinzwa, bese kwakheka izicubu zesibazi esine-fibrous ukuze lizinzise ilunga. Lokhu akuwona ukuhlinzwa okungajwayelekile okungasiza isilwane siphinde sithole ukunethezeka nokuhamba. Phakathi nesikhathi sokuqala sokululama uzothola ukwelashwa ngokomzimba ngabasebenzi bethu ukuze bamsize athole amandla nokuhamba.

I-Braxton yayineso le-cherry, elaziwa nangokuthi i-prolapsed nictitating membrane noma indlala yezinyembezi ephukile, esweni langakwesokudla. Izinja zinezinyembezi ezengeziwe esivalweni esingezansi ezizobhidlika ngezikhathi ezithile, noma ziphume, zivele ngaphezu kwemajini yesivalo njenge-bleb encane ebomvu. Lokhu kungenzeka ngenxa yokuhlukumezeka, kodwa ezinye izinhlobo zisengozini futhi kulezi zinhlobo zingenzeka ngokuzenzakalelayo. Izinhlobo ezivame ukuthinteka zihlanganisa ama-cocker spaniel, ama-bulldog, ama-Boston terriers, ama-beagles, ama-bloodhounds, i-Lhasa Apsos, ne-Shih Tzus. Amehlo kaCherry ayinkinga ngoba le ndlala ikhiqiza kufika kumaphesenti angamashumi amahlanu engxenye enamanzi yefilimu yezinyembezi. Ngaphandle kwezinja ezanele ezikhiqiza izinyembezi zingaba “neso elomile,” okungase kuholele ekungaboni kahle. Ukulungiswa kokuhlinzwa kwe-prolapse kuyindlela yokwelapha enconywayo uma iso le-cherry libangela inkinga nakuba ngezinye izikhathi ukulungiswa kungase kuhluleke ikakhulukazi kulezo zinhlobo ezibekwe ngaphambili.

Moira i-chihuahua encane emnandi yeza kithi idinga ukususwa kwamehlo akhe kanye noquqaba lwebele oluncane ngesikhathi sespay sayo. Kwavela ukuthi naye wayene-heartworm. Wenze kahle kakhulu ngesikhathi ehlinzwa nangesikhathi elashelwa isikelemu senhliziyo. I-Heartworm isibungu esifana ne-parasite esisakazwa omiyane futhi sihlala ngaphakathi kwegazi lesilwane (ikakhulukazi ohlangothini lwesokudla lwenhliziyo yazo). Ukwelashwa kwesikelemu senhliziyo kuhlanganisa izingxenye ezimbalwa ezisabalele phakathi nenani lezinyanga ngakho-ke sizenza zitholakale futhi siqhubeke nokuthatha iposi lokwelashwa. Ngokujabulisayo, uMoira useluleme ngokugcwele, futhi wamukelwa ekhaya elinothando.

Fluffy weza kithi nezinkinga zesikhumba ezingapheli. Nakuba kwezinye izimo izinkinga zesikhumba zingase zibe okwesibili ezifweni ezihlukahlukene ze-metabolic noma izilokazane ezifana ne-mange, kodwa ngokuvamile zibangelwa ukungezwani komzimba nezinto ezithile. Izinja namakati anezinhlobo ezintathu eziyinhloko zokungezwani komzimba nezinto ezithinta isikhumba. I-flea allergy dermatitis iwukwaliwa amathe ezeze futhi izeze elilodwa lingabangela ukuqubuka okukhulu. I-allergies yokudla ingesinye isigaba esikhulu esingadala izinkinga zesikhumba. Okokugcina, ukungezwani nokudla okuthile endaweni ezungezile (impova, izibungu zothuli, njll) futhi kubizwa ngokuthi i-atopy noma i-atopic dermatitis.

Leli katina elihle lidinga ukudonswa igazi namuhla futhi lalimangalisa kakhulu mayelana nokugoqwa kwengcindezi eyafakwa kamuva.
