第十一集~貓朋狗友一家親(下)

香港電台:快樂Pet Pet

青青,有時候我會看到家裡的貓,不知道是精神緊張還是什麼事,不停咬咬咬,甚至乎狗也會咬尾,其實是什麼事啊?

Qingqing, sometimes I see the cat at home, and I don't know if it's nervous or something else, constantly biting and biting, and even the dog bites its tail. What is actually going on?

其實很多原因的,很多人一聽到或者看到這樣的情況就會說,皮膚敏感了,一定是皮膚敏感了,其實是未必的,正如你所說,可能是有塞,或者是因為有時候貓、狗的皮膚很敏感,被塞咬完,他們就會留一個縫隙在那裡,引致其他地方敏感,他們都覺得全身痕癢,

In fact, there are many reasons. Many people, upon hearing or seeing such a situation, will say that it must be skin sensitivity. However, that's not necessarily the case. As you mentioned, it could be due to blockages, or sometimes cats and dogs have very sensitive skin, and after being bitten by a flea, they may leave a gap where it leads to sensitivity in other areas, causing them to feel itchy all over.

也有可能是受一些細菌或者是真菌感染,所以這些就要去獸醫檢查清楚了,因為未必是敏感的。

It could also be due to some bacterial or fungal infection, so it's necessary to have a thorough check-up at the veterinary clinic, as it may not necessarily be an allergy.

但是牠咬那個程度會是很嚴重地才去獸醫那裡,還是我發現牠無緣無故就咬自己,或者咬自己的尾巴,就一定要立刻帶牠去看醫生?

But would the severity of the biting be such that I should only take it to the vet when it's really serious, or if I notice it suddenly biting itself or its tail, do I need to take it to the doctor immediately?

嗯,如果你檢查清楚牠又不是有塞的情況,你看牠咬得紅了,已經要帶牠去看醫生。

Well, if you check carefully and see that it’s not a situation of obstruction, you can see that it’s red from biting, and it’s already time to take it to the doctor.

嗯,另外你也可以問一下,因為其實現在香港很多貓仔或者狗仔經常都有不同的敏感,皮膚敏感是最常見的,有些是腸胃不舒服。

Well, you can also ask about it because many cats or dogs in Hong Kong often have various sensitivities. Skin sensitivity is the most common, and some have gastrointestinal discomfort.

究竟是有什麼原因會令到這麼多香港的貓仔或者狗仔都有敏感的問題呢?你有想過嗎?

What could be the reason that so many cats or dogs in Hong Kong have sensitivity issues? Have you ever thought about it?

因為我們經常外出,所以惹了一些東西給牠。

Because we often go out, we ended up bringing back some things for it.

其實不是的,其實敏感可能有一個原因是大家都意想不到的,就是我們幫牠們打了太多的防疫針。

Actually, it's not that. The sensitivity may have an unexpected reason, which is that we have given them too many vaccinations.

是嗎?

Really?

是呀,因為其實每年幫牠們打一堆防疫針是太過頻密的。

Yes, because actually giving them a bunch of vaccines every year is too frequent.

現在最近的研究是指出,其實那些防疫針打了之後有效期分分鐘是三年,或者是多過三年那麼長的。

Recent studies indicate that the effectiveness of those vaccines may actually last for three years or even longer.

所以現在最新的指示是要視乎狗仔。

So the latest instruction is to depend on the paparazzi.

對,因為狗仔或者貓仔的個別需要去幫牠們打防疫針,而不需要太過頻密打的。

Yes, because individual puppies or kittens need to receive vaccinations, but they don't require them too frequently.

因為太過頻密打就會影響牠們自己的免疫能力,令到牠們亂聾了。

Because too frequent beating will affect their own immune ability, causing them to become confused and deaf.

這樣就會令到牠們有敏感的情況出現了,有時候。

This will sometimes cause them to become sensitive.

那就是以後我帶牠們去看獸醫,每年驗身的時候就要問清楚,究竟是一年要打幾支,還是隔長的時間才打?

That means in the future, when I take them to the vet, I need to ask clearly during the annual check-up how many shots they need a year, or if they only need to be vaccinated after a longer interval?

是呀,因為現在不斷都有新的研究,還有新的指示。

Yes, because there are constantly new studies and new guidelines.

所以最好跟你的獸醫商量清楚。

So it's best to discuss it clearly with your veterinarian.

另外一些致敏的原因可能是因為牠們的食物,因為有時候很多谷類都會引致敏感。

Other potential allergens may be their food, as sometimes many grains can cause allergies.

又或者是環境因素,可能是家裡用的清潔劑,或者是附近的花花草草花粉,好像人一樣。

It could also be environmental factors, perhaps the cleaning agents used at home, or the pollen from nearby flowers and plants, just like people.

或者是附近有莊舟,有些化學物品,都會引致牠們敏感的。

Or there are boats nearby, along with some chemical substances, which can make them sensitive.

所以我們一定要小心一點,因為養寵物跟養小人都一樣,要特別注意。

So we must be a little careful, because raising pets is the same as raising little people, and we need to pay special attention.

但是我現在養不定牠,我養一養牠,下一集再見。

But I can't keep it stable right now, I'll take care of it for a while, and see you in the next episode.

哇,瑤瑤你看看,多大的橙子,是不是很想吃呢?

Wow, Yaoyao, look at this big orange. Don't you really want to eat it?

但我也不知道能不能讓你吃呢?

But I also don't know if I can let you eat it?

喂,清清,清清,究竟橙子,狗仔貓仔能不能吃呢?

Hey, Qingqing, Qingqing, can oranges be eaten by puppies and kittens?

嗯,橙一般來說,狗仔貓仔吃不吃呢?

Well, in general, do puppies and kittens eat oranges?

因為狗仔貓仔本身都不會很喜歡吃的。

Because dogs and cats themselves generally don't like to eat that much.

一撕開橙子,像我的貓Tigger那樣,聞到就會這樣,因為它們聞到很酸,很刺激牠們的味覺。

When you peel an orange, my cat Tigger reacts like this, because they smell it and it's very sour, which stimulates their taste buds.

而且如果是大酸症的橙子,吃了之後,牠們很容易會吐舌。

Moreover, if it is an orange with high acidity, they are likely to stick out their tongues after eating it.

所以盡量避免給橙子牠們吃。

So try to avoid giving oranges to them.

但是大部分貓狗有時候吃了橙子也沒什麼,可能是甜橙。

But most cats and dogs don't have much issue eating oranges sometimes; it might be sweet oranges.

所以選其他水果吧。

So choose other fruits.

選其他水果?

Choose other fruits?

好吧,那我選其他水果給牠們吃吧。

Alright, then I'll choose other fruits for them to eat.

嗯。

Hmm.

在這個世界上,每一個人都會擔任不同的角色。

In this world, everyone plays different roles.

有人天生就是一個強者,有人一出生就會用不同的方法去鼓勵別人。

Some people are born as strong individuals, while others are born ready to encourage others in different ways.

在狗世界裡面,也出現了一隻可以鼓勵人類的小狗。

In the dog world, there is also a little dog that can encourage humans.

美國有一隻叫做信念的母狗。

In the United States, there is a female dog named Faith.

一出生的時候,就只有兩隻後腿。

At birth, there were only two hind legs.

但是牠活潑開朗的性格,就已經瘋摸了全國美國各地了。

But its lively and cheerful personality has already crazily touched everywhere across the country.

信念在2003年1月出生,今年已經四歲半了。

Xinnian was born in January 2003 and is now four and a half years old.

最近,牠的主人就將牠的故事出了一本書,用來鼓勵別人的。

Recently, its owner published a book about its story to inspire others.

而牠的主人Judy,原來也是受到信念而改變了自己對有肢體障礙人士的看法。

Her owner Judy, in fact, also changed her views on people with physical disabilities due to her beliefs.

以前Judy可能會對這些有肢體障礙人士做出一些不太對的行動。

In the past, Judy might have taken some inappropriate actions towards people with physical disabilities.

但是現在Judy會將心比心,會主動去幫助他們。

But now Judy will empathize and take the initiative to help them.

所以,現在Judy會帶著信念去到不同的地方。

So now Judy will carry her beliefs to different places.

其一,是希望信念可以認識到更多的朋友。

Firstly, it is hoped that faith and belief can help recognize more friends.

其二,是希望信念可以用牠的身體來鼓勵別人,努力和勇敢地生活下去。

Secondly, it is hoped that faith can use its body to encourage others to live vigorously and bravely.

而下一則,尋人啟事。

The next item is a missing person notice.

你喜歡屎垃圾、雪橇還是爹地?

Do you like poop, garbage, sledding, or daddy?

我的爹地就有了他們的特徵了。

My dad already has their characteristics.

小時候,我已經在地盤見過不少人和事,日曬雨淋,流離失所。

When I was young, I had already seen many people and things on the construction site, exposed to the sun and rain, and displaced.

如果你覺得我的樣子像四不像,我就認為我是獨一無二了。

If you think I look like a mishmash of everything, then I consider myself one of a kind.

我不想再有四不像的家。

I don't want to have a home that is like a mishmash of everything.

幫幫我吧,送給我一個獨一無二的暖窩。

Help me, give me a unique warm nest.

我想知道你的牙齒是甚麼樣了?

I want to know what your teeth are like now?

我的牙齒很漂亮。

My teeth are very beautiful.

我已經覺得你很漂亮。

I already think you are very beautiful.

你喜歡嗎?

Do you like it?

我很喜歡。

I like it very much.

真是獨一無二了!

Truly one of a kind!

謝謝你。

Thank you.

我今天帶了我兩個小寶貝來銅鑼灣街頭買衣服和鞋子

I brought my two little treasures to Causeway Bay today to buy clothes and shoes.

因為沒理由有個潮爸爸沒有兩個潮兒子

Because there's no reason for a cool dad to have no two cool sons.

所以今天我帶了兩個小寶貝來銅鑼灣街頭買衣服

So today I brought two little treasures to the streets of Causeway Bay to buy clothes.

但我今天暫時還沒找到適合他們的貨色

But I haven't found suitable goods for them today yet.

因為我主要是幫他們找兩隻鞋子

Because I mainly help them find two pairs of shoes.

不是兩隻,應該是兩個人找不同的鞋子給他們

It’s not two pairs, it should be two people looking for different shoes for them.

因為平常跟他們玩的時候都覺得他們的爪子很刺激

Because I usually feel their claws are very stimulating when I play with them.

CAMMAN是沒有刺激的

CAMMAN is not stimulating.

對,很刺激的

Yes, it's very exciting.

所以都很辛苦

So it's very hard for everyone.

所以想跟他們找鞋子

So I want to find shoes with them.

跟他們玩的時候就沒那麼痛

It doesn't hurt as much when playing with them.

給我的感覺

The feeling it gives me.

雖然我沒有幫他們找到適合他們的衣服

Although I didn't help them find clothes that suited them.

但其實我看了很多

But in fact, I have watched a lot.

我現在在忍受

I am currently enduring.

但因為帶著他們的關係來說

But because of their relationship with them

我又不敢買那麼多

I'm afraid to buy so much again.

所以不要妨礙我了

So don't interfere with me anymore.

我繼續去看衣服,拜拜

I will continue to look at clothes, bye bye.
