Fat Dog Slimming Success! Lost 64.8 pounds in 8 months

According to the British "Metropolis Daily" reported on December 19, an English bulldog named Claude, after being adopted by the new owner, successfully lost 64.8 pounds.

6-year-old Claud was abandoned in the kennel by his former owner, and due to the former owner's unreasonable feeding, Claud weighed up to 119 pounds, which was seriously beyond the healthy weight range.

Claud was adopted by Mel Herbert in April 2021, and Mel is determined to help Claud get back to health. Claud, who had just arrived at his new home, was too heavy to move around or even jump on the couch. It hates walking and walks for 5 minutes and gets out of breath. So we started helping it lose weight. "I reduced its daily food intake to 235 grams and took it to start a short walk." Over time, Claud's weight began to lose, and the time and distance we walked increased accordingly. ”

After 8 months of hard work, Claud reduced from the initial 119 pounds to 54.2 pounds, and successfully lost 64.8 pounds. However, Claud was still not very healthy — it was diagnosed with disc disease, partially damaged spine, and sometimes difficult to walk and sit down. Mel is currently trying to improve Claud's lack of back muscle strength due to muscle deficiency through hydrotherapy. Overall, Claud, who has lost weight, is healthier and less likely to get sick than before. (Compiled and reported by China Youth Network)
