Neva’s Transformation: A 10kg Weight Loss and New Lease on Life

Neva, a long-term patient of Mount Maunganui Vets, captured the entire team's hearts during her weight loss journey. Despite her health challenges, including Addison’s disease, Neva has made remarkable progress, shedding 10kg and rediscovering her joy for life.

When Neva first arrived at Mount Maunganui Vets in 2023, she quickly became a staff favourite. Over the course of a year, with the support of her vet team and owner, Peter, Neva embarked on a weight loss journey that saw her go from 50kg to 40kg. Her fortnightly weigh-ins became a clinic tradition, with everyone cheering her on as she made steady progress through diet modifications and careful monitoring.

What makes Neva’s accomplishment even more impressive is that she’s on long-term medication for Addison’s disease, a condition that can complicate weight management. Recently, she also began monthly arthritis injections, giving her a renewed sense of vitality. Now, Neva enjoys trotting along the beach with a spring in her step, and her health and happiness are restored.

Every visit brings smiles, low-calorie treats, and playful guesses about her weight loss progress, making her regular check-ins a highlight for the team and her devoted owner.
