Nui nā ʻīlio i hele mai i Old Dog Haven i pilikia me ko lākou mau pepeiao no ka mea ʻaʻole i loaʻa iā lākou kekahi ʻano mālama maʻamau. Ke kāhea pinepine nei nā hopena i ka hoʻomaʻamaʻa nui ʻana a i kekahi mau hana ʻoki nui e hoʻoponopono i nā pilikia. Hoʻomanaʻo iā Thor? ʻOiai pono e kiaʻi mau ʻia nā pepeiao o ka ʻīlio no kona ola a pau, ʻo ka mālama maʻamau wale nō ka mea e pono ai e mālama iā lākou i ka maʻemaʻe a me ke olakino.
Hāʻawi ka ASPC (WebMD Veterinary Reference mai ASPCA Virtual Pet Behaviorist) i kekahi mau alakaʻi a me ka ʻike maikaʻi aʻu i manaʻo ai he kōkua ia iā ʻoe.
Ma muli o ka wiliwili a me ka hoʻolālā curvy o nā pepeiao o loko o ka ʻīlio, ua maʻalahi i nā parasites, bacteria a me ka hū ke hūnā a ulu i loko o lākou. ʻO ia hoʻi, pono e piʻi ka ʻōpala o ke kahawai e pakele ai. Hiki ke loaʻa nā maʻi ma muli o nā ʻōpala paʻa. ʻO nā ʻīlio me ka maʻi ʻaleʻa he mea palupalu loa ia, e like me ka poʻe me nā pepeiao ʻeleʻele, e like me Cocker spaniels, basset hounds a me nā poodle.
Pono e hoʻokomo i ka nānā pepeiao maʻamau i kāu ʻīlio. He mea koʻikoʻi kēia no nā ʻīlio i hoʻohua nui i ka peʻe pepeiao a i ʻole ka lauoho pepeiao pepeiao nui.
Inā haumia nā pepeiao o loko o kāu ʻīlio, e hoʻomaʻemaʻe iā lākou me ka pulupulu i hoʻoheheʻe ʻia me ka ʻaila mineral, hydrogen peroxide a i ʻole ka hopena i hana ʻia no kēia kumu. He palupalu ka ʻili o loko, no laila e ʻae i kāu kauka e hōʻike i ke ʻano kūpono no ka hoʻomaʻemaʻe ʻana i nā pepeiao o kāu ʻīlio.
Mai hoʻomaʻemaʻe pinepine a hohonu paha i nā pepeiao o kāu ʻīlio i mea e hoʻonāukiuki ai, a e mālama ʻoe ʻaʻole loa e hoʻokomo i kekahi mea i loko o ke kahawai pepeiao o kāu ʻīlio.
Inā ʻōpuʻu kou ʻīlio i ka lauoho mai kona puʻu pepeiao, pono paha ʻoe a i ʻole kāu mea hoʻomaʻamaʻa e wīwī iā ia i kēlā me kēia pule e pale ai i ka hana ʻana o nā moena pilikia. E ʻoluʻolu e kūkākūkā me kāu kauka lapaʻau inā pono kēia no kāu ʻīlio.
Inā ʻaʻole ʻoe makaʻala, ʻo ka ʻauʻau pinepine ʻana a me ka ʻauʻau ʻana hiki ke alakaʻi i ka huhū a me ka maʻi. I mea e pale aku ai i kēia, e kau i ka pulupulu ma nā pepeiao o kāu ʻīlio ma mua o ka ʻauʻau ʻana, a e hoʻomaloʻo pono i kona mau pepeiao e like me kou hiki ke palekana ma hope o nā haʻuki wai a me nā hana.
Inā hiki i kāu ʻīlio ke loaʻa i nā maʻi pepeiao, makemake paha ʻoe e ninini i kahi wai liʻiliʻi o ka wai hoʻomaloʻo i hana ʻia no nā ʻīlio i loko o nā auwai pepeiao e kōkua ai i ka hoʻohemo ʻana i ka wai i paʻa i loko. Loaʻa kēia mau holoi pepeiao, ka mea maʻamau i ka witch hazel, ma nā hale kūʻai lako holoholona ʻoi aku ka maikaʻi.
E kelepona i kāu kauā holoholona inā ʻike ʻoe i kekahi o kēia mau hōʻailona e pili ana i nā pepeiao o kāu ʻīlio:
Hoʻokuʻu pepeiao
ʻala ʻino
ʻulaʻula
pehu
ʻili ʻili
ʻO ka lauoho lauoho
E ʻoluʻolu e hoʻomaopopo ʻoe ʻo ka ʻili pepeiao ʻeleʻele a ʻeleʻele paha-a maloʻo, ʻeleʻele ʻeleʻele e like me ka pā kofe-ʻo ia nā hōʻailona maʻamau o nā microscopic ear mites. ʻO kāu kauka kauka wale nō ka mea hiki ke hōʻoiaʻiʻo, no laila, mai hoʻokaʻulua ʻoe i ka lawe ʻana mai i kahi pooch pepeiao ʻeleʻele no ka nānā ʻana.
