Njengabantu, izinja kufuneka zihlale zifakwe amanzi kakuhle ukuze zikhokele ubomi obunempilo. Ngokwesiqhelo, siyathemba ukuba ngabo abeza kumthombo wabo wokusela, nangona ngamanye amaxesha ezinye iingxaki zempilo zithintela oko. Ke ngoko kufuneka sinikele ingqalelo kwimikhwa yabo, siqiniseke ukuba sela amanzi rhoqo. Ukuba akunjalo, kuya kufuneka sityelele iklinikhi yezilwanyana ngokukhawuleza.
Le ngxaki inemvelaphi yayo kwizizathu ezahlukeneyo, ekuyimfuneko ukuyichonga ukuze ufumane isisombululo. Esinye sezizathu eziqhelekileyo kukuba uxinzelelo okanye uxinzelelo, eziya kuhamba kunye nezinye iimpawu ezinjengokuphelelwa ngumdla wokutya, ukozela okanye ukuba wedwa. Kule meko sinokubhenela kumaqhinga athile okukhuthaza isilwanyana ukuba sitsale amanzi, njengokubeka iziselo kwiikona ezahlukeneyo zendlu okanye ukunikezela iityhubhu zomkhenkce ukuzikhotha. Kungacetyiswa kwakhona ukuba kusetyenziswe utitshala oqeqeshiweyo.
Abanye izifo zikwabangela esi sifo, sihlala sisibi. Ezi zi-distemper, parvo, leptospirosis kunye ne-rabies, phakathi kwezinye. Zonke zifuna ingqwalaselo yezilwanyana kwangoko, kuba ukongeza kwezinye iimpawu ezibalulekileyo, zinokukhokelela ekuphelisweni komzimba emzimbeni okuba mandundu ngakumbi ingxaki kwaye kubangele nokufa kwesilwanyana.
Kukwanokwenzeka ukuba inja inesifo esithile isifo emazinyweni, ulwimi okanye iintsini. Isenokuba sisilonda, isifo, okanye olunye uhlobo olubi kakhulu lwengxaki yamazinyo. Umzekelo, izifo zixhaphakile, zihlala zibangelwa kukufakwa kwezinto zangaphandle okanye isiqwenga sokutya. Ngamanye amaxesha amayeza anele ukuzola kwezi meko, ngelixa ngamanye amaxesha ungenelelo oluncinci lotyando luyimfuneko.
Kukho iqhinga elilula lokufumanisa ukuba inja yethu iyahlupheka ukuphelelwa ngamanzi emzimbeni. Kubandakanya ukucofa ulusu lwakho ngobunono phakathi kwamagxa kunye nokujonga ukuba ibuyela ngokukhawuleza kwindawo yayo. Ukuba akukhange kubenjalo, kuyakufuneka sidibane nogqirha wezilwanyana ngokukhawuleza.
