Ua inu ka ʻīlio i ka wai mai ka loko wai: he aha ka pilikia a pono wau e hopohopo

Inā makemake ka pipi i ka wai, e wili pinepine ʻo ia a puni ka loko. Hiki i ka ʻīlio ke ʻau a inu i ka wai i ka wā wela? Hiki i ka chlorine ke hoʻopōʻino iā ia? A he aha kāu e hana ai inā e hoʻoikaika mau ana kou hoa huluhulu e inu i ka wai kai paʻakai mai loko mai o ka loko i ka lā wela?

Inu ka ʻīlio mai ka loko wai: hiki anei

I ka ʻauʻau ʻana a i ʻole ke pāʻani ʻana i ka loko, ʻaʻole hiki ke ʻai ʻia ka ʻīlio i kahi wai. Inā hoʻomaʻemaʻe ʻia ka loko e like me nā lula, pono e haʻahaʻa loa ka pae o ka chlorine i loko. I kēia hihia, ʻaʻole e pōʻino ka ʻīlio i ka ʻai ʻana i kahi wai liʻiliʻi. E hoʻomaka ana nā pilikia ke hoʻoholo ka pipi he kīʻaha inu nui ka loko.

Inā inu ka ʻīlio i ka wai puna wai e hoʻopau ai i ko lākou make wai, hiki iā ia ke hoʻoulu i ka ʻōpū o ka ʻōpū, ʻeha ʻeha a me ka luaʻi ʻana, a me ka huhū a me ka esophagus, e like me ka Spruce Pets. Akā naʻe, ʻaʻole ia e like me ka ʻīlio e ʻai ai i ka wai i mālama ʻole ʻia i loko o ka nui o nā algae, bacteria, parasites, a me nā pathogens ʻē aʻe.

No laila, ʻoi aku ka maikaʻi o ka mālama ʻana i ka wai inu hou ma kahi kokoke a hoʻihoʻi hou i ka ʻīlio inā kokoke ʻo ia e inu mai ka loko.

Inā mālama ʻia ka loko wai me ka haʻalulu chlorine, e hoʻokaʻawale i ka holoholona mai ka wai ʻauʻau a hiki i ka hoʻi ʻana o nā pae kemika i ka maʻamau.

Inu ka ʻīlio i ka wai paʻakai: he aha ka mea e hana ai inā piha ka loko i ka wai kai

ʻOiai ka liʻiliʻi o ka chlorine i loko o nā loko wai paʻakai, aia kekahi mau mea a hiki ke hōʻeha i ka ʻōpū ke ʻai ʻia i ka nui.

Akā i kēia hihia, ʻoi aku ka pōʻino i hiki i ka ʻīlio ke ale i ka nui o ka sodium. ʻOiai he liʻiliʻi ka sodium i loko o nā loko wai kai ma mua o ka wai kai, ʻo ka nui o ka sodium he mea pōʻino i ka holoholona a hiki ke alakaʻi i ka wai paʻakai. E like me nā loko wai chlorinated, ʻaʻole e hōʻeha kāu ʻīlio i ka ʻauʻau ʻana, akā ʻaʻole pono ʻoe e ʻae i kāu ʻīlio e inu i ka wai kai. Ma ka loko a me ke kahakai, e mālama i ka wai inu hou ma ka lima inā e make wai kāu pipi.

Wahi a ka American Kennel Club, inā ua inu ka ʻīlio i ka wai paʻakai, ʻo ka mea ʻino loa e kali nei iā ia ʻo ka maʻi maʻi. Eia naʻe, ʻo kona hoʻohana ʻana i nā mea nui e alakaʻi pinepine ai i nā pilikia koʻikoʻi a me ka make ʻana, hiki ke make.

Inā inu nui ka ʻīlio i ka wai mai ke kai a i ʻole ka loko wai, aia ka pilikia o ka dehydration koʻikoʻi a me ka ʻole electrolyte. Hiki i kēia ke alakaʻi i ka luaʻi, ka hopu ʻana, ka lolo, a me ka hōʻino ʻana. ʻO nā hōʻailona ʻē aʻe o ka make ʻana o ka wai paʻakai:

• haʻalulu nāʻiʻo;
• nāwaliwali;
• lethargy;
• huikau;
• ʻano ʻano ʻē;
• aloha ʻole.

He aha ka hana inā inu nui ka ʻīlio i ka wai mai ke kai a i ʻole ka loko

I ka nui o nā hihia, inā ʻike ʻoe e hōʻike ana kāu pipi i nā hōʻailona i manaʻo ʻole ʻia a i ʻole ka hana ʻino ʻana, pono ʻoe e hoʻopili koke i kāu kauā. 

Inā luaʻi ka ʻīlio a hōʻike paha i nā hōʻailona o ka huhū o ka ʻōpū ma hope o ka inu ʻana i ka wai kai, pono e nānā ke kauka lapaʻau no nā hōʻailona ʻē aʻe o ka pilikia. Inā hoʻoholo ke kauka ua kaupalena ʻia nā hōʻailona i ka ʻai ʻana, ma ke ʻano he mahele o ka papa hana lapaʻau, hiki i ke kauka ke ʻōlelo aku e hoʻololi i ka holoholona i kahi meaʻai ʻīlio maʻemaʻe loa i hana ʻia e hoʻoikaika i ke olakino ʻōpū no kekahi mau lā.

ʻAʻole pono ʻoe e pāpā i kāu ʻīlio mai ka leʻaleʻa i ka loko wai a i ʻole ka paʻi ʻana i nā nalu o ke kai, akā pono e hana ʻia nā mea āpau i ʻole ʻo ia e inu i ka wai mai laila. ʻAʻole ʻoi aku ma mua o ʻelua mau sips. Inā hōʻike kāu ʻīlio i nā hōʻailona o ka maʻi a hoʻomaka paha i ka hana ʻano ʻē, ʻoi aku ka maikaʻi o ka nānā ʻana me kāu kauka holoholona.

E nānā i kekahi:

• He aha nā mea hana e hānai ai i kāu ʻīlio?
• Pehea e mālama ai i kahi ʻīlio ma waho?
• No ke aha he mea nui e hoʻomaʻemaʻe ma hope o kāu ʻīlio?
• ʻO ke ola o nā ʻīlio
