1. Rescue: Xiaoba is a pug with a fractured right hind leg who was abandoned at the entrance of an animal hospital. Fortunately, the StarCare Amimals Team discovered and adopted him.
2. Challenge: After two months of treatment, Xiaoba's leg gradually healed. However, due to long-term lack of exercise, his weight soared, and he began experiencing persistent coughing and wheezing. A Holter ECG revealed severe arrhythmia and frequent premature beats — his recovery journey was far from over.
3. Scientific Rehabilitation: The StarCare Animals Team developed a personalized rehabilitation plan for Xiaoba:
o Diet management: Low-fat, high-fiber prescription food;
o Exercise program: Daily progressive treadmill training;
o Behavioral adjustment: Positive reinforcement (treat rewards + patient guidance).
4. Transformation: After 3 months, the results were remarkable:
o Lost 2kg in weight
o Steady gait
o Coughing and wheezing nearly gone
o Significant improvement in arrhythmia
o Overall enhancement in physical fitness
5. Rebirth: Today, Xiaoba has transformed from a frail, abandoned dog into a vibrant, energetic companion. His story proves that scientific rehabilitation not only saves lives — it restores quality of life and renews hope.
