ʻO ka Rodhesian Ridgeback kahi ʻīlio ikaika, muscular me kahi kualapa ma ka laina dorsal. He pōkole ia, 'ālohilohi a laumania. ʻOi aku ka liʻiliʻi a i ʻole ka liʻiliʻi o ke kala wheaten māmā o kona lole. Ana nā kāne i ka 63 a i ka 69 cm ma kahi e mae ana no 36,5 kg ma ka awelika, ʻoiai e ana nā wahine ma waena o 61 a me 66 cm ma nā mea mae, no 32 kg. ʻO kāna huelo he waena ma ka lōʻihi a lawe pololei ʻia, e ʻōlou iki ana i luna.

Hoʻokaʻawale ʻia ka Rodhesian Ridgeback e ka Fédération Cynologiques Internationale ma waena o nā hounds (Pūʻulu 6, ʻāpana 3). (1)

He kama'āina ka Rhodesian Ridgeback i ka Cape Colony ma ʻApelika Hema. ʻO ia wale nō ka lāhui ʻīlio ʻōiwi i kēia ʻāina. ʻO ka moʻaukala o ka lā hānau i hoʻi mai i ka kenekulia XNUMXth me ka hōʻea ʻana o nā Europa mua. ʻOiai e ʻimi ana i loko o ka Lae o Good Hope, ua ʻike ka poʻe noho i nā ʻohana Hottentot a me kā lākou ʻīlio me kahi "crest", ʻo ia hoʻi nā lauoho e kū ana i mua o ka iwi kuamoʻo. ʻO ka ʻīlio ʻē aʻe i ʻike ʻia me ke ʻano like i loaʻa i mau mile kaukani ka mamao mai ka mokupuni ʻo Phu Quoc ma ke kahawai ʻo Siam.

Mai ka XNUMXth kenekulia ka poʻe kolone, i ka nele o nā ʻīlio kūpono no ka ʻimi holoholona, ​​i hoʻomaka e hoʻohana i ka ʻīlio crott Hottentot e hele i waho me nā ʻano ʻEulopa.

I ka 1875, ua hoʻomaka ʻo Pastor Charles Helm i ka huakaʻi mai Swellendam ma ke panalāʻau ʻo Cape o ʻApelika Hema a Rhodesia. Ua hele pū me ia ʻelua mau ʻīlio. I kona noho ʻana ma kēia ʻāina e kū nei ʻo Zimbabwe i kēia manawa, ua ʻaiʻē kahi mea hahai holoholona i kapa ʻia ʻo Cornelius von Rooyen i nā ʻīlio ʻelua e hele i ka huli holoholona. ʻIke ʻia e ko lākou hiki, hoʻomaka koke ʻo ia i ka hānau ʻana. Mai ia manawa, hānai ʻia lākou i nā helu he nui i kēia wahi i hāʻawi i ko lākou inoa.

Ua hoʻokumu ʻia ka hui kalai mua ma 1922 ma Bulawayo ma Rhodesia Hema a ma 1924 ka Rhodesian Ridgeback i ʻae ʻia e ka South Africa Kennel Union ma ke ʻano he ʻano kaʻawale. I kēia lā ʻo ia kekahi o nā ʻīlio kaulana loa ma ʻApelika Hema. (2)

He holoholona akamai ʻo Rhodesian Ridgebacks. Hiki i kēia ʻano ke lilo koke i kīnā i loko o kahi ʻīlio hoʻomaʻamaʻa maikaʻi ʻole a hoʻomaʻamaʻa maikaʻi ʻole ʻia paha. Ua hoʻomaʻamaʻa maikaʻi ʻia, ma ka ʻaoʻao ʻē aʻe, he hoa kūpono ʻo ia, he hoa lawaiʻa maikaʻi a i ʻole he ʻīlio kiaʻi.

He ʻano pale kūlohelohe kēia ʻano ʻīlio i kona ʻohana. No laila ʻaʻole pono e hoʻomaʻamaʻa iā ia ma ke ʻano he ʻīlio kiaʻi. Akā, pono e hoʻonui ʻia kēia mau ʻano kahu ponoʻi e ka hoʻomaʻamaʻa hoʻolohe maʻamau. Hōʻike ka standard standard iā ia ma ke ʻano ” hanohano, akamai, mamao aku me nā malihini, akā me ka hōʻike ʻole ʻana i ka huhū a me ka makaʻu ʻole ”. (1)

ʻO ka Rhodesian Ridgeback kahi ʻīlio olakino olakino holoʻokoʻa, a e like me ka UK Kennel Club's 2014 Purebred Dog Health Survey, ʻoi aku i ka hapalua o nā holoholona i hoʻopaʻa ʻia ʻaʻole hōʻike i nā hōʻailona o ka maʻi. ʻO nā kumu nui o ka make ka maʻi ʻaʻai (ʻano ʻole i kuhikuhi ʻia) a me ka ʻelemakule. (3)

E like me nā ʻīlio hoʻomaʻemaʻe ʻē aʻe, akā, maʻalahi ʻo ia i ka ulu ʻana i nā maʻi hoʻoilina. Hoʻopili kēia, ʻo ia hoʻi, hip dysplasia, sinus dermal, myotonia a me hypothyroidism. (4-6)

ʻO Coxofemoral dysplasia

ʻO Coxofemoral dysplasia kahi kīnā hoʻoilina o ka hui pūhaka e hopena ai i ka ʻeha a me nā waimaka, nā waimaka, nā mumū, a me nā osteoarthritis.

Hoʻomaopopo nui ʻia ke kuhi a me ka loiloi o ke kahua o ka dysplasia e ka x-ray.

ʻO ka hoʻomohala holomua me ka makahiki o ka maʻi paʻakikī i kāna ʻike a me ka hoʻokele. ʻO ka lālani mua he lāʻau anti-inflammatory pinepine a i ʻole corticosteroids e kōkua me ka osteoarthritis. Hiki ke noʻonoʻo ʻia nā hana ʻoki lāʻau, a i ʻole ke kūpono ʻana i kahi hoʻokalakupua. Hiki i ka hoʻokele lāʻau maikaʻi ke lawa e hoʻomaikaʻi i ka ʻoluʻolu o ke ola o ka ʻīlio. (4-6)

ʻO ka sinus dermoid

ʻO Dermal sinus kahi kūlana hānau o ka ʻili. Loaʻa ka maʻi i kahi maʻi maʻamau i ka ulu ʻana o ka embryonic. Ke alakaʻi nei kēia i ka hoʻokumu ʻia ʻana o kahi ʻano tubule e hoʻopili ana i ka ʻili a me ka iwi kuamoʻo. ʻO ka sinus (s) aia ma ka pali o ka lauoho ma ka laina dorsal a ʻike ʻia e ka pehu ʻana a i ʻole nā ​​cyst.

Hoʻololi ka umekaumaha e like me ka hohonu a me ke ʻano o ka sinus. I nā hihia ʻoi aku ka paʻakikī, aia paha nā hōʻailona neurological a me nā maʻi meningeal lua a i ʻole myelitis. ʻO ka hapanui pinepine ʻia o ka mumū a i ʻole nā ​​maʻi i ka tubule ma hope o ka manawa pōkole a ʻoi aku paha o ka asymptomatic.

Hana ʻia kahi kuhi e kahi biopsy a me kahi nīnau radiographic kikoʻī e ʻae ai e ʻike i ke ʻano o ka sinus, ka fistulography. Pono pono ka nānā ʻana i ka wai cerebrospinal e nānā i ke komo ʻana o ka ʻōnaehana waena.

ʻO ka hoʻoponopono therapeutic kahi o kahi lāʻau antibiotic e kaupalena ai i ka superinfection, a me kahi ʻoki e hoʻoponopono ai i ka sinus. Maikaʻi ka prognosis inā ʻaʻohe ʻino o ka ʻīlio i ka neurological. (4-6)

Myotonia hānau

ʻO ka myotonia Congenital kahi mea maʻamau ʻole i ka hoʻomohala ʻana i nā mākala e hōʻike ʻia e ka hoʻonui ʻana i ka manawa hoʻomaha o nā mākala ma hope o ka hōʻemi ʻana. Hōʻike nā hōʻailona lapaʻau mua mai nā pule mua o ke ola. ʻOʻoleʻa ke ala hele, hoʻokaʻawale ʻokoʻa nā lālā a hoʻonui ʻia nā mākala.

Hana ʻia ke kuhi ma kahi biopsy musele a aia kekahi hoʻokolohua kūlohelohe.

ʻO ka hapanui pinepine, kūpaʻa ka maʻi a puni ka makahiki o ʻeono mau mahina a i hoʻokahi makahiki a hiki ke hoʻomaikaʻi i ka ʻoluʻolu o ka ʻīlio e ka lāʻau lapaʻau, akā ʻaʻohe lāʻau. (4-6)

ʻO ka Hypothyroidism

Hypothyroidism kahi maikaʻi ʻole i ka hana o nā thyroid hormones. ʻO ka manawa pinepine ia no ka luku autoimmune o nā kelepaʻi thyroid.

Nui loa nā ʻōuli, no ka mea, he kuleana nui kēia mau hormona no nā hana nui o ke kino. Hiki iā mākou ke kākau i waena o nā poʻe ʻē aʻe, luhi, loaʻa i ke kaumaha, kahi kulu o ka mahana a me ka chilliness nui, hoʻonui i ka maʻalahi i nā maʻi, ect.

Ma muli o ka lehulehu o nā ʻōuli, hiki i ka hōʻailona ke paʻakikī. Hoʻokumu nui ʻia ia ma nā hoʻokolohua hormone thyroid a me nā hoʻāʻo ʻana o ke koko e hōʻike ana i ke kiʻekiʻe o ke kō.

Pono e mālama ʻia ka ʻīlio me ka synthetic hormonone thyroid pani no ke ola. (4-6)

He haʻuki ke ʻano a no laila koi i nā kau hoʻoikaika kino mau.
