I-Demodicosis yisifo se-parasitic esibangela izilonda zesikhumba. Lesi sifo sivamile ezinjeni, ikakhulukazi kubantu abasha, mhlawumbe ngenxa yokudluliselwa kofuzo. Kodwa ngezinye izikhathi ezinye izinja ezindala nazo zingathinteka. Ngokuya ngezilonda, ukwelashwa okungaphezulu noma okuncane kuzosethwa ngudokotela wezilwane. Ngakolunye uhlangothi, ukuphindaphinda kungenzeka futhi kuyadingeka ukwaziswa kahle ngalesi sifo.

I-Demodicosis yisifo esibangelwa i-parasite ebizwa ngokuthi I-Demodex canis. I-mite ikhona ngokwemvelo esikhumbeni senja, ngokunembile ezingeni lezintambo zezinwele (indawo lapho izinwele zizalwa khona) kanye nezindlala ezinesibindi (izindlala ezikhipha i-sebum). Lesi sitshalo siyingxenye yezitshalo ezincelisayo eziningi ezihlanganisa abantu futhi zinendima yokuhlanza ngokudla isikhumba esifile kanye ne-sebum. Ngumama ozodlulisela lezi zinambuzane emidlwane ngezinsuku zokuqala. Ngakho-ke lezi zinambuzane zihlala esikhumbeni sezinja kuwo wonke umjikelezo wazo wokuphila ngaphandle kokuzibangela izinkinga ngezikhathi ezivamile. Ngakolunye uhlangothi, uma ziphindaphindeka ngendlela engavamile, zingaba necala lezilonda zesikhumba.

Izinja ezisencane, ezingakwazi ukuzivikela ezifweni ezingaphansi kweminyaka emi-2 ubudala zinamathuba amaningi okuba ne-demodicosis. Amasosha abo omzimba awakwazi ukulawula inani I-Demodex ekhona esikhumbeni, okuholela ekwandeni okukhulu. Lokhu kuntuleka kokulawula cishe kungenxa yesici sofuzo esidlulele emidlwaneni. Ngakho-ke ayitheleleki isuka kwenye inja iye kwenye futhi ayitheleleki kubantu.

Lesi sifo singase sibe khona nasezinjeni ezindala. Kulokhu, kungase kube inkomba yesifo esiwumsuka esinjengomdlavuza noma i-Cushing's syndrome isibonelo.

Njengoba lezi zinambuzane zikhona ezimpandeni zezinwele, ukuphindaphindeka kwazo okungavamile kuzobangela ukuqothuka kwezinwele, okubizwa ngokuthi i-alopecia. Le alopecia ingenziwa endaweni ethile noma yenziwe jikelele ezindaweni eziningana zomzimba. Ngokuvamile ayiluma, okusho ukuthi inja ayiklwebhi. Lezi zindawo ze-alopecia zisokiwe futhi zingase zihambisane nokubomvu nezikali. Uma kwenzeka i-demodicosis yendawo, izindawo ezivame ukuthinteka yikhanda kanye nemilenze (pododemodicosis). Kwi-demodicosis ejwayelekile, yizitho, intamo kanye nesiqu okuthinteka kakhulu kuzo. Ngaphezu kwalokho, i-demodicosis ye-atrial noma i-otodemodecia (ezindlebeni) okungenzeka ibe nesibopho se-otitis ayivamile kodwa ikhona.

Uma ubona izindawo zokulahleka kwezinwele ezibomvu, ezinamabala enja yakho, kufanele ubone udokotela wezilwane. Ngezinye izikhathi ungase uqaphele nokuba khona kwama-comedones, amachashazi amancane amnyama. Udokotela wezilwane angabe eseqinisekisa i-demodicosis ngokuhlola okuhambisanayo okubizwa ngokuthi i-skin scraping. Lokhu kuhlanganisa ukukhuhla isikhumba usebenzisa i-scalpel blade. Ukuklwebheka okuningana kuzokwenziwa ukuze kubhekwe ngaphansi kwesibonakhulu ubukhona noma cha I-Demodex futhi ngenani elingakanani. Lokhu kuhlolwa akulusizi esilwaneni.

Ngokuphambene, ukutheleleka kwebhaktheriya yesibili kuphakathi kwezinkinga eziyinhloko. Bangaba nesibopho se-pyoderma okungaba kubi kakhulu. Lezi zifo zesibili ezibuhlungu zivame ukubangela ukunwaya ezinjeni. Izilonda zesikhumba nazo zingavela. Esigabeni esithuthukile, lezi zinkinga zingaholela ekukhubazekeni kwesimo esijwayelekile sesilwane ngokulahlekelwa isifiso sokudla, ukulahleka kwesimo noma umkhuhlane. Kubalulekile ukukhumbula ukuthi kwezinye izimo izinkinga zinzima kangangokuthi isilwane singafa.

Ngokuphathelene ne-demodicosis eyenziwe yasendaweni, engxenyeni enkulu yamacala, izilonda ziyaziphendulela zodwa kungakapheli amasonto ambalwa. Kodwa kuye ngokuthi indawo, ukwelashwa kungase kudingeke, ikakhulukazi ezimweni ze-otitis ngenxa ye-demodicosis ye-atrial. Uma izilonda zisabalala futhi zingazixazululi ngokwazo, kufanele ubone udokotela wakho wezilwane. Uma kwenzeka i-demodicosis evamile, ukubonisana kuyadingeka ngaphambi kokuba kube nezinkinga ezimbi kakhulu. Kubalulekile ukukhumbula ukuthi ukwelashwa kwalesi sifo se-parasitic yinde futhi kungadlulela ezinyangeni ezimbalwa. Ngaphezu kwalokho, inja kufanele igadwe njalo ngoba ukuphindeka kusengenzeka.

Udokotela wakho wezilwane angakunikeza ukwelashwa okungcono kakhulu kwesilwane sakho ngokusekelwe ezilonda esizivezayo. Namuhla kunezinhlobo ezi-3 ezihlukene zokwelapha:

• Izixazululo okufanele zihlanjululwe;
• I-Pipettes indawo;
• Amathebulethi.

Ngaphezu kwalokho, ama-antibiotic angabuye abekwe uma kwenzeka izifo ze-bacterial yesibili.

Ezinja ezikhulile ezine-demodicosis, kuyadingeka ukuthola imbangela eyinhloko futhi uyiphathe.

Lesi sifo asitheleleki, ukugwema ukubukeka kwaso kuyadingeka ukugwema ngangokunokwenzeka ukuzalanisa izilwane ezithintekile yilesi sifo ukuvimbela ukudluliselwa kofuzo. Zonke izinhlobo zezinja zingathinteka. Ngakolunye uhlangothi, abanye basalokhu bethambekele ngaphambili njengeStaffordshire Bull Terrier, iDobermann, iShar Pei noma iYorkshire Terrier ukusho abambalwa.
