ʻAʻoleʻike iki mākou e pili ana i ka moʻaukala o kēia ʻano, i ʻōlelo ʻia kekahi o nā mea kahiko loa o ka honua. Pono ʻoe e hele a hiki i Kina e loaʻa ai nā aʻa kahiko loa o ka Chow-Chow, kahi i lilo ai he ʻīlio kiaʻi a me kahi ʻīlio hahai holoholona. Ma mua o kēlā, he ʻīlio kaua ʻo ia me ka poʻe ʻĀsia e like me nā Hun a me nā Mongol. Ua hōʻea ka Chow-Chow i ʻEulopa (Pelekane, ka ʻāina patronage o ka lāhui) i ka hopena o ke kenekulia 1865, me ka loaʻa ʻana o kahi mōʻīwahine i ka Mōʻīwahine Victoria ma 1920. Akā ʻaʻole i ʻike ʻia a hiki i nā XNUMX. .

He ʻīlio mālie a hanohano ʻo ia me ke ʻano ikaika. Kūpaʻa loa ʻo ia i kona haku, akā mālama ʻia a mamao aku i nā malihini, no ka mea ʻaʻole hoihoi iā ia. Kūʻokoʻa ʻo ia a makemake ʻole e ʻoluʻolu, hiki ke hoʻopilikia i kāna hānai ʻana. Inā hāʻawi ʻia kona huluhulu mānoanoa iā ia i kahi helehelena nui, noho ʻo ia he ʻīlio ola, makaʻala a eleu hoʻi.

He paʻakikī loa e ʻike me ka kikoʻī i ke olakino laulaha o ka laha no ka mea pili nā ʻano noiʻi i nā helu liʻiliʻi o kēlā me kēia. Wahi a ka loiloi olakino olakino hou loa i mālama ʻia e ka British Kennel Club (1), 61% o ka 80 Chow Chow i aʻo ʻia i loaʻa i kahi maʻi: entropion (kahi wili ʻana o ka eyelid), osteoarthritis, kahi maʻi ligament, ʻili, pūhaka dysplasia, etc.

Ua pilikia ʻo Chow Chow i nā pilikia nui o ka orthopedic. ʻOiai, e like me ka ʻikepili i hōʻiliʻili ʻia e kaOrthopedic Foundation o ʻAmelika mai loko aʻe o hoʻokahi kaukani mau kānaka o kēia laha, ʻaneʻane hapalua (48%) i hōʻike ʻia me ka elbow dysplasia, e hoʻolilo ana iā lākou i ka lāhui i loli loa ʻia e kēia maʻi (2). Ma luna o 20% o Chow Chows i ʻeha ʻia i ka maʻi maʻi hip. (3) Hoʻopili pinepine ʻia kēia ʻīlio e nā dislocations o ka kneecap a me nā haki o ka ligament cruciate.

ʻOi aku kaʻoluʻolu o kēia laha i nā anuanu anuanu a ʻaʻole hoʻomanawanui i nā mahana wela. ʻO kona kapa mānoanoa a me nā pelu o kona ʻili e hōʻike i ka ʻīlio i nā maʻi ʻili mau, e like me nā maʻi āpau, nā maʻi bacteria (pyoderma), ka nalo ʻana o ka lauoho (alopecia), a me nā mea ʻē aʻe. nā maʻi dermatological e hana i nā ulcer, scabs, cyst a me nā leona e hana ma ka ʻili.

Pono pono e wehewehe mai ka hoʻomaka ʻana ʻaʻole kūpono kēia ʻano ʻīlio no nā mea āpau. ʻOi aku kahi haku i loaʻa kahi ʻike paʻa me nā ʻano canine a hiki iā ia ke hoʻokau iā ia i nā lula paʻa a mau i kona ola, no ka mea, ʻo Chow Chow ka mea mana a me ka noho aliʻi. Pēlā nō, pono e hoʻopili ʻia kēia ʻīlio mai ka wā ʻōpio a i kona wā e ola ana. Aia wale nō ma kēia ʻano e ʻae ʻo ia i ka poʻe noho o ka home, kanaka a holoholona paha. Hoʻomaha iki, kūpono ke ola hale noho iā ia, inā hiki iā ia ke hele i kahi liʻiliʻi o ʻelua mau manawa i ka lā. ʻAi liʻiliʻi ʻo ia. Pono ka palaki pono ʻana i kona palule i kēlā me kēia pule.
