At 11 years old, she underwent surgery to remove part of her liver and gallbladder. After the surgery, there was concern about her physical strength, and stricter fat management was also necessary. To continue her beloved dog dancing, days of searching for a way to provide sufficient nutrition without straining her body began.
Amazed by the speed of her recovery, she's more energetic than before.
The most surprising thing was the speed of her recovery.
Her eagerness to move around, even when we kept telling her to rest, made me think she might be even more energetic than before the surgery!
I can't express how much her powerful spirit encouraged me.
A cup to start the morning right
Ever since we started incorporating "Wanko Dashi" soup into Moana's breakfast, her morning awakenings have improved dramatically. Just as people drink warm water in the morning to awaken their internal organs, I've noticed that she moves around much more lightly after eating.
Proactive hydration to support the liver
As part of her post-operative care, I was particularly mindful of hydration.
She wasn't a dog who drank much water originally, but with the power of the dashi, she's now able to drink plenty of fluids without effort and while enjoying it.
