The seal dachshund is so round and fat that it can’t walk, and now it has lost one of its own weight!
Vincent, a dachshund in Houston, Texas, is as round as a seal. His 17-kilogram body makes it difficult for him to even walk. He often just lies on the ground and bask in the sun, making it difficult to move at all. However, with the help of animal protection groups, he has lost 7 kilograms in 8 months and has gradually recovered. He is finally ready for adoption to his forever home. Vincent has difficulty moving and often sleeps on his stomach.
Animal caretakers accompany it in its efforts to lose weight.
Seven-year-old Vincent was sent to an animal welfare group because his owner passed away. The animal care worker was shocked when he first saw it, "It was very friendly, but I couldn't tell whether she was standing or lying down. Her legs were very short, and her belly and chest were almost touching the ground." "In addition, Vincent had just lost his owner and was very depressed. Not only did he throw away all the healthy food prepared by the caregiver, but he was also always laughed at because of his fat body. "I don't know what the previous owner fed him, but I guess it was mostly fast food."
Finally, he is much slimmer! Healthier too!
In the past 8 months, the animal care staff has kept Vincent eating regularly, adjusting the amount and ingredients of the food, and doing appropriate swimming and exercise. He has now successfully lost 10 kilograms. Although he is still a little far from his target weight, he is much healthier and is open to adoption. He hopes to find a forever home.
Vinson is about to reach the standard weight and is looking for a loving home.
