<p>My new puppy has a funny smell it almost smells like onions. It is not his butt ears or his breath. I changed his food as soon as we brought him home and that hasn’t helped either. The smell is obviously coming from his skin but there are no signs of skin irritation or anything like that. I have an appointment with the vet Friday but I was just wondering if anyone has any ideas or has had a similar problem. I’ve had Corgis for 20 years and have never had this issue.</p>

<p>Our girl is super food-motivated, which I gather is common with this breed. We feed her the recommended amount twice a day, and our vet is happy with her current weight. We do not feed her people food, or from our plates, and any treats she gets are usually related to training.</p>

<p>She does this thing that just drives us bonkers, though. We feed her at 7am/7pm, and every evening she starts whining at 5pm-ish to be fed. Constant whine-whine-whine. Feeding her earlier isn’t a real solution because she'll just start whining earlier (and if we feed too early that’s too big of a gap till breakfast).</p>
<p></p>
<p>I don’t even know how to stop this behavior. Suggestions online say to reward her when she’s quiet, but she pretty much isn’t ever when she’s like this - and my attempts to reward quiet behavior just seemed to confuse her because she was ultimately getting what she wanted (treat/food). I’ll freely admit that our general attempts at getting her to respond to a "quiet" command are iffy at best when it comes to stopping her barking and it doesn’t do anything with the whining.</p>
<p></p>
<p>So, any suggestions? Our current solution is to just ignore the whining, but that is getting old, fast. </p> Hemolytic anemiatag:mycorgi.com,2020-08-23:1150197:Topic:20144382020-08-23T00:11:10.778ZAnna Morellihttp://mycorgi.com/profile/AnnaMorelli

<p>Baden is now showing his age at 8. He is still very active and always up for a fun filled adventure or playing fetch. His arthritis is really starting to take a toll and my vet basically said its best to continue being active with lots of breaks with limited fetch time rather than stopping all together. Baden is the first senior pet I have had and I just want to be sure im doing all that I can for him. My vet said his arthritis resides mainly in his knees and hips so sometimes his backend can get a bit wobbly.</p>
<p>If you have any suggestions or recommendations please feel free to comment :)</p>

<p>Somehow the old hand signal for "SIT" is terrifying Sammy now. I realized it was my extended hand, palm down toward but not always over his head. We all know they don't like over the head stuff but I wonder if a recent visit to the vet restarted some kind of fear. How do you signal your dog to "SIT" </p>

It's Jekyll and Hyde.....he appears to be in a zombie state. When the incident ends maybe 10 minutes later he appears shamed, sad and wanting affection and cuddling.

<p>Hi all,</p>
<p>My corgi, Cody, started nipping at his hindquarter a couple days ago. He has had hot spots before, but I didn't see any red skin, so I know it isn't that. I did feel a lot of small lumps under his skin next to his spine. I'm really worried. He seems to be walking different too, like swaying more in his hind legs. The lumps seem to be painful to him, or itchy, I'm not sure which. Cody is 10 yrs old and is a purebred. He has been healthy all his life with only a sensitive tummy…</p>
<p>Hi all,</p>
<p>My corgi, Cody, started nipping at his hindquarter a couple days ago. He has had hot spots before, but I didn't see any red skin, so I know it isn't that. I did feel a lot of small lumps under his skin next to his spine. I'm really worried. He seems to be walking different too, like swaying more in his hind legs. The lumps seem to be painful to him, or itchy, I'm not sure which. Cody is 10 yrs old and is a purebred. He has been healthy all his life with only a sensitive tummy to worry about (and the one time hot spot). He has for years done this weird thing where he acts startled or like someone pinched him from behind and it's as if he is trying to get away from it. It only last for a few seconds and then he's seemed fine. Has anyone experienced any of these issues? The lumps on under his skin next to his spine are my biggest concern. I plan to take him to the vet within the next week. Update: Cody does have a hot spot on his left hind quarter. It wasn't there this morning but now it's red and raw. Still not sure what the lumps are. I had some spray left over from his last bout with hot spots and he seems a little more comfortable now that I sprayed it.</p>
