A Chihuahua named Rosemary, severely overweight, was brought to the Humane Society of Northwest Louisiana (USA), where her journey to a healthier weight began, inspiring all who witnessed it.
When Rosemary arrived, she was three years old and could barely move, often sitting still due to her weight. The caregivers at the animal shelter shared with The Dodo how she would get completely exhausted even from a short walk to relieve herself.
Despite her family considering euthanasia due to her condition, the shelter intervened, providing Rosemary with a strict diet and special care, including no snacks but only treats for training, as mentioned on their Facebook page.
Following thorough health checks, treatment for epilepsy, and efforts to address her weight struggles, Rosemary began her journey back to a healthier life. The shelter shared that she had lost 5 kilos, equivalent to 20% of her body weight, through various interventions to achieve her ideal weight.
Through a combination of exercise, activity, and proper nutrition, Rosemary successfully shed the excess weight, feeling significantly improved. Initially hesitant to have her adopted, the shelter now proudly announces Rosemary’s readiness for a new loving family after her incredible transformation!
Presenting Rosemary’s incredible transformation:
Congratulations, Rosemary, on your remarkable journey!
