Me kahi kiʻekiʻe ma kahi maloʻo ma kahi o 28 cm, ʻo Westie kahi ʻīlio liʻiliʻi i kūkulu paʻa ʻia e hōʻike ana i kahi ʻano hoihoi a ikaika. Keʻokeʻo mau kona pāpālua. ʻO kaʻaʻahu waho, ma kahi o 5 cm, paʻakikī a ʻoʻoleʻa. ʻO ka undercoat he pōkole, palupalu a paʻa. Muscular kona mau wāwae, me ka liʻiliʻi o ka wāwae ma hope. Ua lōʻihi kona huelo (13 a 15 cm) a uhi ʻia me ka lauoho. Pololei a hāpai pololei ʻia i luna.

Hoʻonohonoho ka Fédération Cynologique Internationale iā ia ma waena o nā wahi liʻiliʻi. (Pūʻulu 3 - Mahele 2) (1)

ʻO ke kumu o nā ʻāina Skotlandia āpau a maʻamau paha i nalowale i nā wili a me ka huliau o ka mōʻaukala a me nā kaʻao. Hoʻokahi wale nō mea e maopopo ai ʻo kēia mau ʻīlio liʻiliʻi, wāwae wāwae pōkole, ua hoʻohana mua ʻia e nā kahu hipa, akā na nā mea mahiʻai hoʻi e kaohi i nā pests ma hope, e like me nā ʻiole a me nā ʻalopeke. ʻAʻole ia a hiki i ka XNUMXth kenekulia e hoʻomaka kū maoli nā ʻano ter Terre ʻokoʻa. Wahi a ka moʻolelo, ʻo ka West Highland White Terrier ka hualoaʻa ka hopena o kahi ulia pōpilikia. ʻO kekahi Kolonela ʻo Edward Donald Malcolm o Poltalloch, i hele i kekahi lā e alualu i nā alopeke me kekahi o kēia mau moku Scottish. I kēlā manawa, hiki iā lākou ke loaʻa nā lole o nā kala he nui, e like me ka ʻulaʻula a me ka ʻulaʻula ahi. Ua ʻōlelo ʻia i kī ʻia ʻia kekahi o nā ʻīlio ma hope o ke kuhi hewa ʻana no kahi ʻalopeke. A i ʻole e hana hou ʻia kahi ulia pōpilikia, ua hoʻoholo ʻo Konela Malcolm de Poltalloch e hele wale i nā ʻīlio keʻokeʻo.

Ua ʻike ʻae ʻia ka lāhui i ka 1907 e ka English Kennel Club a kapa ʻia ʻo West Highland White Terrier ma hope o kona kala ʻokoʻa a me ka ʻāina i hānau ʻia. (2)

ʻO ka West Highlands White Terrier kahi ʻīlio paʻakikī, ikaika a ikaika hoʻi. Ua wehewehe ke ʻano o ka lāhui iā ia me he ʻīlio lā me kahi mahele maikaʻi o ka hilinaʻi iā ia iho me kahi ea kolohe ...

He holoholona wiwo ʻole a kūʻokoʻa hoʻi ia, akā aloha nui. (2)

Maikaʻi ke olakino maikaʻi o kēia ʻīlio Scottish Highland liʻiliʻi a e like me ka Kennel Club UK Purebred Dog Health Survey 2014, ke ola maʻamau o kahi West Highlands White Terrier ma kahi o 11 mau makahiki. Wahi a kēia noiʻi, ʻo ke kumu nui o ka make no Westies ka ʻelemakule, a ukali ʻia e ka hakuʻala ʻole. (3)

E like me nā terloa Anglo-Sakona ʻē aʻe, maʻalahi ka Westie i ka osteopathy craniomandibular. (4, 5)

ʻIʻike pū ʻia kekahi me ka "ā ʻāʻī o ka liona", ʻo ka osteopathy craniomandibular kahi hoʻomāhuahua iwi ʻole e hoʻopili i nā iwi pā o ka iwi poʻo. Eia kekahi, pili ka mandible a me ka ami temporomandibular (lalo iwi ā). ʻO kēia ke kumu o nā maʻi ʻoki a me ka ʻeha ke wehe i ka iwi ā.

Kū ka maʻi pilikino a puni ka makahiki o 5 a 8 mau mahina a ʻo nā hōʻailona mua he hyperthermia, deformation o ka mandible a me nā maʻi ʻaki. Hiki paha i ka holoholona ke ʻai i nā maʻi ma muli o ka ʻeha a me ka paʻakikī o ka nau ʻana.

He hōʻailona kēia mau hōʻailona lapaʻau mua no ka hōʻailona. Hana ʻia kēia e kahi x-ray a me kahi hoʻokolokolo histological.

He pathology koʻikoʻi ia e hiki ai i ka make mai anorexia. ʻO ka mea pōmaikaʻi, ʻo ka papa o ka maʻi e kū mālie i ka hopena o ka ulu ʻana. I kekahi mau hihia, pono paha ke ʻoki a hoʻololi ʻia ka wānana ma muli o ka nui o ka hōʻino ʻia o ka iwi. (4, 5)

Dermatitis Atopic

ʻO Atopic dermatitis kahi maʻi ʻili maʻamau i nā ʻīlio a ma nā ʻāina keʻokeʻo o West Highland. He hoʻoilina hoʻoilina ia e synthesize i nā helu he nui loa i kahi ʻano antibody i kapa ʻia ʻo Immunoglobulin E (Ig E), ke hui pū ʻia me kahi alena ma o ka hanu a me ke ala ʻili.

Hōʻike pinepine ʻia nā hōʻailona mua i nā holoholona ʻōpio, ma waena o 6 mau mahina a me 3 mau makahiki. ʻO ka nui o ka wili, ka erythema (ʻulaʻula) a me nā leona ma muli o ka ʻili ʻana. Hoʻonohonoho ʻia kēia mau hōʻailona ma waena o nā manamana lima, ma nā pepeiao, ʻōpū, perineum a puni nā maka.

Hana mua ʻia ke kuhi ma o ka mōʻaukala mōʻaukala a alakaʻi ʻia e ka predisposition.

ʻO ka pane pololei i nā corticosteroids kekahi o nā pae hoʻohālikelike a me ka lālani mua hoʻi o ka mālama ʻana. Eia nō naʻe, hoʻonāwaliwali nā hopena ʻaoʻao lōʻihi i kā lākou hoʻohana lōʻihi a koi ʻia ka desensitization. (4, 5)

Leukodystrophy pūnaewele paʻalima

ʻO ka Gloukid cell leukodystrophy a i ʻole Krabbe maʻi kahi hemahema o ka β-galactocerebrosidase enzyme e kumu i ka hoʻohaʻahaʻa holomua o ke kikowaena a me ka ʻōnaehana hopohopo peripheral. Hoʻokumu ʻia kēia maʻi e ka hoʻololi ʻana i loko o ka gen encoding

Hōʻike nā hōʻailona hōʻailona ma waena o 2 a me 7 mau mahina. ʻO kēia ka haʻalulu nui, ka lōlō, a me nā haunaele hoʻonohonoho (ataxia).

Hoʻokumu nui ʻia ka diagnostics ma ke ana ʻana i ka hana o ka enzyme i nā leukocytes. ʻO nā leona o ka ʻōnaehana waena waena kahi ʻano a hiki ke ʻike ʻia e ka histology.

Hune loa ka wānana, no ka mea maʻamau make nā holoholona i loko o kekahi mau mahina. (4) (5)

ʻIlio ʻeleʻele haʻalulu encephalitis

ʻO kahi liʻiliʻi liʻiliʻi Dog Tremor Encephalitis kahi ʻano maʻamau i hōʻike nui ʻia, e like me ka inoa e hōʻike nei, i nā ʻīlio keʻokeʻo liʻiliʻi. Hōʻike ia iā ia iho e nā haʻalulu huna o ke poʻo i hiki ke piʻi i nā haʻalulu nui o ke kino holoʻokoʻa, e ʻike i nā maʻi locomotor.

ʻO ka hōʻailona e hana nui ʻia e ka neurological ninaninau piha a me ka hōʻuluʻulu ʻana o kahi puncture wai cerebrospinal.

Maikaʻi ka wānana a hele koke nā ʻōuli ma hope o ka mālama ʻana me nā steroid. (6, 7)

Pono pono e nānā kūikawā i ka palaki ʻana a me ke kāhiko ʻana i ka ʻīlio e mālama pono i kona kapa a nānā i ke ʻano o ka dermatitis āpau.

E like me ka manaʻo o ko lākou inoa, ua aʻo ʻia kēia mau ʻīlio e alualu i kā lākou mea pio i loko o nā lua ma kā lākou iho. No laila ke kūʻokoʻa nui ke lilo i mea paʻakikī no ka lole, akā uku ʻia ia e ko lākou ʻike nui. No laila ke ahonui e hāʻawi i nā hopena maikaʻi no kēia ʻīlio.
