So inspirational! The little fat dog lost half of its weight in half a year, and netizens commented on the heart

recently

A video of an American corgi losing weight

Get attention on Weibo.

In the video, a slender limb,

But the torso is as fat as an inflatable balloon puppy lying on the carpet.

When the owner told it to walk,

It struggled to even stand up.

The dog owner introduced in the video that due to obesity, the puppy cannot go up the stairs and cannot play with other puppies. Now, after 6 months of training, the puppy's weight has been reduced from 30 pounds (about 27 pounds) to 13 pounds (about 12 pounds).

Netizens have left messages under the video exclaiming: "I am ashamed, not as good as a dog!" "There have been blows."

The reporter learned,

The puppy in this video is named "Confidence",

Currently and its owner lives in California, USA.

Dog owner Nioaka told reporters,

She is a staff member of a pet hospital.

Last November,

Puppies are sent to rescue centers as stray animals,

But the staff of the rescue center believe

The corgi has become morbidly obese.

So I asked Nioaka for help,

Nioaka then decided to help the puppy lose weight.

Too fat to walk normally

On the 30th, Nioaka replied to reporters on social media that Confidence is a 3-year-old little. When she first took over last November, the puppy couldn't even walk normally. "She's too fat to support her body with the strength of her limbs." Nioaka said.

But as a medical worker who has worked in a pet hospital for many years, Nioaka judged that through certain training, she could help the puppy lose weight. Nioaka then opened an account for the puppy on social media to record the puppy's weight loss.

Nioaka said she was surprised when she first saw "confidence", "How can you be fat like this?" ”。 When she first brought home "confidence", the puppy also looked a little melancholy. Seeing other puppies jumping up and down the stairs, "Confidence" can only lie on the side and watch, or look pitifully at the owner. In order to facilitate the "confidence" at home, nioaka also specially created a "large dog hole" for it.

Nioaka speculates that the puppy may have been overweight because the previous owner had a mental or emotional illness. Previously, she had also encountered pets that were overweight, because the owner suffered from amnesia, "so she would feed the pet repeatedly."

Lose half your weight in half a year

According to Nioaka, experts at the pet hospital believe that as a corgi dog, "confidence" needs to be thin to about 15 pounds to achieve a healthy state. At the same time, the doctor made a diet and exercise plan for it.

At present, "confidence" is still in the dieting stage. According to the doctor's recommendation, it only eats two meals a day, and the amount of feeding per meal is only 1/4 of that of other puppies. In addition, there are frozen dried fish and vegetables as a small snack.

"In addition to normal eating, whenever it is hungry, I play with it with toys or hold it to distract it." Nioaka said. Because Nioka works at a pet hospital, it also makes it easy for her to keep "confidence" with her at all times.

Because at first the puppy was so fat that it was difficult to move. Nioaka had to send "confidence" to the pet rehabilitation agency to let it walk very slowly on the treadmill at a very slow speed. The reporter saw that the "confidence" in the video walked in a large water tank, the water depth was just below its legs, and the bottom of the water tank was the track of the treadmill. Nioaka explains that walking in water is to increase resistance and burn more heat. This kind of water walking activity, "confidence" is carried out 4 times a week, each time for half an hour. During the exercise, Nioaka also feeds snacks as a reward.

When the weight of the "confidence" was reduced to the point where he could walk normally, nioaka began walking the dog for a long time, "until it couldn't walk." Nioaka said.

Nioaka still remembers that when "Confidence" first ran up to the second floor with the other puppies, she was moved to tears by sitting on the stairwell.

Now, "Confidence" has lost its weight to 13 pounds (about 12 pounds) and becomes a healthy and beautiful puppy. Fans who accompanied "confidence" on social media to lose weight have left messages saying that they have been encouraged to watch "confidence" get healthier every day.

Nioaka said that when "confidence" is in stable health, he will be given to suitable adopters.
