Owner: Our dog is so skinny
It looks like it will die soon
Dobermann / 1 year old / Seunggi
PD: Which body part is skinny?
Owner: Look at the side
Owner: I don't know why it's so skinny
The dog is strangely skinny
PD: Its bones are visible
Its bones are clearly visible
Dobermann Seunggi / A normal Dobermann
They looks so different
PD: Is it sick?
Owner: It's not sick but just so skinny
The bones are so visible that..
scars appear even during minor shocks
He sits down
Due to the difficulty standing up
He starts to shake too
Owner: Let's go somewhere warm
Come here
He cannot control his body
What's the problem..
PD: Does he eat well?
Owner: He does eat well. All of this food is his. This is noodles
PD: Noodles?
Owner: I heard it can gain weight by eating noodles. So I got some.
The madam tried everything
Owner: I fed him everything.
I was told to feed him higher quality pet food
So I fed him high quality pet food
Seunggi is not getting better
Despite the madam's efforts
Chicken meat with pet food
Seunggi's meal is prepared full with sincerity
PD: How big is this serving?
Owner: One serving
Unbelievable!
Owner: He eats one whole serving
Will you believe it if you see him eat?
He eats well
Owner: He eats a lot
Owner: I don't know how he digests the food
He doesn't gain weight
Seunggi has no problem eating
PD: Is this his first meal for today?
Owner: No, he had a meal for breakfast
Owner: There is no need to wash the plate
He eats well
But why isn't he gaining weight?
PD: Since when was he skinny?
Owner: It's been 3-4 months since it was skinny
He was in this state shortly after coming here
Local neighbor: I looked at Seunggi every day
Seunggi looked lovely
Seunggi suddenly lost weight
Owner: We have no idea if he's sick
We got X-rays, examination for parasites
But they said to feed him well
So we brought him back with no worries
They said he had no health problems
But Seunggi is becoming skinnier for no reason
The owner is worried
The son comes upon hearing the news
Son: Hello
Owner: Seunggi is so skinny..
Son: Oh dear, Seunggi...
PD: It got up
Seunggi got up
Owner: He usually stays still but he kicked the covers
He was always crouching
Expressing his delight!
First time seeing this
Son: In the past, he looked healthy
But now I feel his bones first. Right here
We got many residential complaints
So we had to leave him here for a while
But since he's becoming skinnier
I feel very sad
The son was the original owner of Seunggi
He took care of Seunggi with his utmost sincerity
Owner: I wanted to do everything for him. I wanted to raise him as the best dog
But everyone is saddened...
by its sudden transformation
Son: Seunggi, let's go
Son: Should we go? Let's go
Suddenly, Seunggi starts to run
It's the first time since we moved
Owner: He's running like a deer
Where is excited Seunggi headed?
In front of another person's house
It hasn't been long since he ate
Seunggi is showing great appetite
He has an eye on a different dogs food
The bowl is already empty
Son: He should be obese at this rate
His appetite doesn't stop
Son: You're not allowed to eat this!
His appetite might be the hunger for feelings
A special meal prepared due to sad feelings
Son: Beef is said to be healthy food for dogs
Sit down, Seunggi. Go in
It's been a while since he ate special food
Seunggi digs in!
Son: Did you feed him?
Owner: Huh? I did feed him
He almost knocked over his bowl
He had a bowl this morning
His appetite feels like he starved for a week
Owner: People are going to think you've been starving
Son: Eat well, Seunggi. I'll visit often, okay? Don't be sick
Time to part ways
Sad that it's a short meet up
Son: I'll leave, mom
Son: I'll leave, Seunggi
Seunggi follows him
He can't accept the goodbyes
Seunggi is left alone again
He wanders around the floor for a while
He's still unfamiliar with saying goodbye
To a large animal hospital for another check up
Vet: He's very skinny
The organs are just there...
A strange case for the vet
Vet: Dobermanns are quite skinny
But there should be a reason behind his visible bones and organs..
Because there would be a serious problem
If he eats a lot but stays this skinny
All possible medical exams take place
It's been a while we've been waiting for results
The vets have encountered a problem...
Vet: Normally, there will be a result
If there is a problem
But for him, there is a result but it's difficult to find the causes
A rare diagnosis with no result
Vet: There is no special outcome with the blood test
But he has dysepsia
Where he can't digest and absorb due to an unknown cause
Or mentally, it could be psychogenic?
The problem is mental stress
Seunggi started to become skinny after moving
Was it caused by change in environment?
There is no clear treatment
Son: His results didn't come out. I'll take him back to the house we lived in
Let's go back home, Seunggi
The diagnosis was an illness to the mind
The family decided to return
Owner: Live well. Seunggi
Seunggi became skinnier after moving
The madam is sorry
Hope he can become healthy
beside his beloved owner...
Owner: I think he became skinnier because I didn't take care of him properly
Hopefully he'll do better when he returns home
The best option for Seunggi...
2 weeks later
PD: How is Seunggi?
Son: Seunggi?
Seunggi has changed
Son: Do you want to see his butt? It's plump
Current / 2 weeks ago
Son: His feet have gotten thicker. It's thick
PD: It is indeed
He has changed
And become healthy
PD: How did this happen?
Son: It was nothing special
I fed him at the right time and gave him pet food for every meal
After returning home
he started to gain weight
Son: After he returned to my place, he didn't feel homesick and felt comfortable
Seunggi has found peace
Kids: Seunggi!
The kids like Seunggi
He regained his happiness
Son: Let's go!
Son: I think he had a hard time when we were apart
But he has returned to his house and family
So he looks comfortable
Don't get sick
And live confidently like a Dobermann!
