No ke aha e kulu nui ai kaʻu ʻīlio?

E kamaʻilio me ka mea nona ka ʻīlio a ʻike ʻoe ʻo ka drool ʻīlio kekahi o nā mea e maʻa ai kekahi. Eia nō naʻe, makemake nui nā mea hou a me ka wā e hiki mai ana e aʻo hou e pili ana i ka hoʻonui ʻana i ka salivation i nā ʻīlio a inā paha hiki ke hoʻemi i ka nui o ka saliva. No kekahi mau ʻano, he mea maʻamau ka salivation nui, aʻo nā mea ʻē aʻe he hōʻailona ia o nā pilikia olakino.

ʻO nā koʻikoʻi koʻikoʻi

Ua kamaʻāina paha ʻoe i ka ʻīlio drooling i kapa ʻia ʻo Hooch mai ka kiʻiʻoniʻoni Turner & Hooch. ʻO Hooch kahi Dogue de Bordeaux mai ka ʻohana mastiff i ʻike ʻia no ka nui o ka salivation, wehewehe ka American Kennel Club. ʻOiai ʻo Mastiffs, Newfoundlands, a me Dogue de Bordeaux drool nui loa, he nui nā ʻano maikaʻi e hiki ai ke kala ʻia no ka holoi mau ʻana i kā lākou drool.

He aha ka mea e hana ai me ka saliva? ʻO kahi ala e hoʻoponopono hapa ai i ka kohu i kekahi mau ʻano, ʻo ia ke kau ʻana i kahi "bib" ma luna o ka ʻīlio. Hiki iā ʻoe ke loaʻa kahi kāwele e holoi ai i ka drool. He mea nui ʻaʻole e ʻae i kāu pipi e wela a hoʻololi pinepine i ka wai i loko o ke kīʻaha. ʻAʻole kōkua kēia i ka hoʻopau ʻana i ka salivation, akā ʻoi aku ka liʻiliʻi o ka saliva.

E akahele, drool!

ʻOiai ʻo ka drooling kahi hiʻohiʻona maʻamau o kekahi mau ʻano, hiki i ka nui o ka wai ke hōʻailona o ka maʻi waha o ka ʻīlio. Inā ʻike ʻoe i ka drooling pinepine o kāu pipi, pono ʻoe e hoʻoholo i ke kumu, no ka mea, ʻoi aku paha, ke hoʻopilikia nei lākou iā ia ma mua o ʻoe.
