ʻO Cat AIDS kahi maʻi i hoʻokumu ʻia e kahi maʻi, ka Feline Immunodeficiency Virus a i ʻole FIV (Feline Immunodeficiency Virus). ʻO kēia maʻi lele loa ke kuleana no ka nāwaliwali o ka ʻōnaehana pale. ʻO ka pōpoki e ʻeha ana mai ka maʻi pōpoki ʻo AIDS ke loaʻa iā ia iho nāwaliwali i ke alo o nā pathogens a laila hiki ke hoʻomohala i nā maʻi ʻelua. Loaʻa i ka pōpoki me kēia maʻi ke koi e pono e mālama ʻia.

ʻO ka virus virus fode kekahi o nā lentiviruses, kahi ʻano o ka maʻi me ka maʻi lohi (no laila ʻo ka pīpī "lenti" i hele mai ka Latin. wikiwiki ʻo ia hoʻi "lohi"). E like me nā virus, ke komo i kahi meaola, pono e komo i nā pūnaewele i mea e hoʻonui ai. I ka hihia o ka maʻi pōpoki AIDS, hoʻouka ʻo FIV i nā hunaola pale. Ke hoʻohana ia i kēia mau hunaola e hoʻonui, luku iā lākou. No laila maopopo iā mākou ke kumu o ka pau ʻana o ka pōpoki maʻi me kahi ʻōnaehana nawaliwali nāwaliwali, ʻōlelo ʻia ua pale ʻia.

He maʻi lele loa kēia maʻi akā pili wale ia i nā pōpoki (ʻoi aku ka nui o nā felines) a ʻaʻole hiki ke lawe ʻia i nā kānaka a i nā holoholona ʻē aʻe. ʻOiai aia ʻo FIV i ka luha o ka pōpoki i loaʻa i ka maʻi, a laila lawe pololei ʻia ia i kahi pōpoki ʻē aʻe i ka nahu ʻana, i ka hapa nui o nā hihia. Hoʻohui ʻia e ka palu ʻana a i ʻole ke launa ʻana me ka lawai hiki ke hiki, ʻoiai he kākaʻikahi. Hoʻouna pū ʻia kēia maʻi i ka wā o ka male ʻana. Eia kekahi, hiki ke lawe i ka pōpoki i loaʻa i kāna ʻōpio i hiki ke hiki.

ʻO nā pōpoki malihini, ʻo nā kāne kāne ʻole i hoʻopilikia ʻia, e loli ʻia e nā hakakā a no laila ʻoi aku ka nui o ka nahu.

Papa 1: ʻāpana koʻikoʻi

I ka manawa e loaʻa ai ka maʻi ma ke kino, e hana ʻia kahi mahele i kapa ʻia ʻo ka huehue. Hōʻike paha ka pōpoki i kekahi mau hōʻailona laulā (ka wela, ka nele o ka makemake, a me nā mea ʻē aʻe) a me ka pehu ʻana o nā lymph node. Pēlā ke kino i ka maʻi i loaʻa i ka maʻi. Pōkole kēia pae a mau ana mai kekahi mau pule a i kekahi mau mahina.

Papa 2: pae lag

A laila, kahi pae latency i hōʻike ʻole ka pōpoki i nā ʻōuli (asymptomatic cat) i ka lua o ka manawa. Eia nō naʻe, i kēia wā, ʻoiai ʻaʻole hōʻike ka pōpoki i kekahi ʻōuli, hoʻomau ka maʻi lele a hiki ke hoʻoili i ka maʻi i nā pōpoki ʻē aʻe. E like me ka inoa e kuhikuhi nei (lentivirus), lōʻihi kēia pae a hiki ke hala mai kekahi mau mahina a i kekahi mau makahiki.

ʻOihana 3: ka hoʻomaka ʻana o nā ʻōuli

Kū kēia pae ke ala aʻe ka virus a hoʻomaka e hoʻouka i nā hunaola. ʻO ka pōpoki e hele a kūleʻa aku i ka maʻi immunocompromised a deteriorates kona ʻano maʻamau. Me ka ʻole o kahi ʻōnaehana pale hana, ʻoi aku ka palupalu i ke alo o nā pathogens. No laila, e ʻike ʻia kekahi o nā ʻōuli penei:

• Waha: ʻōhū o nā gum (gingivitis) a i ʻole o ka waha (stomatitis), hiki ke loaʻa i nā ulcer;
• ʻŌnaehana hanu: hoʻāhu o ka ihu (rhinitis) a me nā maka (conjunctivitis);
• Ili: hoʻāhu o ka ʻili (dermatitis), hiki ke loaʻa o abscess;
• ʻŌnaehana Digestive: hoʻāhu o ka ʻōpū (enteritis), ka luaʻi, ka palahī.

Hiki paha i nā hōʻailona hōʻailona laulā e like me ka nalo ʻana o ka makemake, ke kuni a me ka pohō kaumaha.

Papa 4: Loaʻa Loaʻa Immune Deficit Syndrome (AIDS)

ʻO kēia ka pae hopena kahi i nāwaliwali loa ai ka ʻōnaehana pale o ka pōpoki. Lilo ka wānana a hiki i nā maʻi koʻikoʻi e like me ke kanesa ke hoʻonohonoho i loko.

ʻAe nā hoʻokolohua iā mākou e ʻike inā he pōpoki ko ka maʻi SIDA. Nānā kēia mau hoʻāʻo i ke kū ʻana o nā mea ʻaoʻao i FIV i loko o ke koko. Inā aia ke alo o nā anti-FIV anti-antibodies, ʻōlelo ʻia ka pōpoki he maikaʻi a seropositive paha. Inā ʻole, maikaʻi ʻole ka pōpoki a seronegative paha. Pono e hōʻoia ʻia kahi hopena maikaʻi e kahi hōʻike ʻē aʻe i mea e ʻike ai inā ʻaʻole maikaʻi ka wahaheʻe o ka pōpoki (hopena maikaʻi o ka hoʻokolohua ʻoiai ʻaʻohe ona FIV).

ʻO ka mālama ʻana no ka pōpoki AIDS ka mea nui e pili ana i ka mālama ʻana i nā ʻōuli e hōʻike nei ka pōpoki. Minamina, he mea nui e hoʻomanaʻo i ka wā e maikaʻi ai ka pōpoki no FIV, e mālama ia no ke koena o kona ola. Hiki ke mālama ʻia ke Antiviral lapaʻau me kahi interferon a hiki ke hōʻemi i kekahi mau hōʻailona maʻi, akā ʻaʻole ia e hoʻōla pau loa i kahi pōpoki i hoʻopili ʻia.

Eia nō naʻe, hiki i kekahi mau pōpoki ke ola me kēia maʻi maikaʻi loa. I nā kūlana āpau, pono e mālama i nā hana kūikawā. ʻO ka pahuhopu e pale aku i kahi pōpoki HIV-maikaʻi mai ka hōʻike ʻia i nā pathogens i mea e ulu ʻole ai ka maʻi lua. No laila, hiki ke hoʻokō ʻia nā ana aʻe:

• ʻO ke ola i loko o ka hale: ʻaʻole wale kēia e pale i ka pōpoki i loaʻa i ka maʻi i loaʻa i ke kaiapuni, akā pale ʻia ka pōpoki mai ka lawe ʻana i ka maʻi i kāna poʻe huakaʻi.
• ʻO ka papaʻai kaulike: ʻo kahi papaʻai maikaʻi e ʻae iā ʻoe e mālama i kāu ʻōnaehana pale maʻi;
• ʻO nā loiloi holoholona maʻamau: ʻo kēia mau kaha, kūpono e hoʻokō ʻia i kēlā me kēia 6 mahina, e hiki ai ke nānā i ke kūlana olakino o ka pōpoki. Hiki ke hoʻokō i hoʻokahi a ʻoi paha nā loiloi hou aʻe.

Minamina ma Palani, ʻaʻohe lāʻau lapaʻau i kēia manawa e pale aku i ka hoʻomaka ʻana o kēia maʻi. Hoʻomaʻemaʻe wale nō ka pale ma waena o nā hale a me nā hui ma o ka hoʻokaʻawale ʻana i nā pōpoki maikaʻi ʻo FIV mai nā pōpoki ʻē aʻe. He mea waiwai nō hoʻi e hoʻokō i kahi hoʻokolohua loiloi no nā pōpoki hou i hōʻea i kou ʻohana. Paipai ʻia ka Castration o nā pōpoki kāne a hiki i ka hoʻoliʻiliʻi o ka huhū a no laila pale i nā nahu.

Eia hou, he mea nui e hoʻomanaʻo i ka FIV kekahi o nā lawehala crippling i nā pōpoki. No laila he wā wehe kānāwai ʻoe inā ʻo ka pōpoki āu i kūʻai ai hōʻike i nā hōʻailona o kēia maʻi. E ʻike koke mai kāu kauka lā.

I kēlā me kēia hihia, mai hoʻokaʻulua e hoʻokaʻaʻike aku i kāu kauka lāʻau inā he nīnau kāu e pili ana i ka maʻi pale maʻi pale maʻi.
