<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> Diarrheatag:mycorgi.com,2012-08-02:1150197:Topic:15932992012-08-02T04:44:39.895ZTomahawk and Fenceshttp://mycorgi.com/profile/SonyaPropps
<p>It seems that Tomahawk just LOVES to make me worry!</p>
<p>For the past 3 days he has had diarrhea. He is eating, drinking and being his old silly self, but just can't seem to produce a normal stool.</p>
<p></p>
<p>I've tried a 24 hr fast and feeding him a bland diet, and it seemed to clear up his poop issues on the second day, but now he has the watery stools again. I don't know what's going on but it's really causing me to lose my hair from all the worrying. As he is doing his business, he…</p>

I don't know what's going on but it's really causing me to lose my hair from all the worrying. As he is doing his business, he pushes out what seems to be a normal stool, but tops it off with a nice dose of watery poop. I know this is gross, but I have to be as detailed as I can!</p>
<p></p>
<p>I can't figure out whether he ate something he shouldn't since I have a near constant 24 eye on him. I keep wondering if it's his food, but he has been eating the same TOTW bag for the past 2 weeks and hadn't had any problems before.</p>
<p></p>
<p>Should I just suck it up and realize I can't clear it up on my own and take him to the vet? I've read that acute diarrhea can be a natural way to balance out his digestive system and that sometimes it can take a week to end but I don't know just how accurate that information is. He's had issues with this before on several occasions, but I was always able to kick it in the butt after a day.</p>
<p></p>
<p>Do any of you have any suggestions? I know peptobismol can help, but I'm afraid to try it since I keep finding different dosage amounts and don't want to end up causing more problems.</p>
<p>Sometimes I swear I want to kick him across the room lol ( Of course I never will)!</p>

I know a few of my questions might have very obvious answers, but I really don't know! So please enlighten me.<br />
<br />
We recently adopted a 3 year old altered male Cardigan from a person who could no longer care for him. The condition we got him in was HORRIBLE- he was not brushed for a very, very long time. Big clumps of fur would come out if you even lightly touched him, and covered me head to toe in fur. He smelled like poo, and his teeth were very yellow and absolutely disgusting... and his shots…

We recently adopted a 3 year old altered male Cardigan from a person who could no longer care for him. The condition we got him in was HORRIBLE- he was not brushed for a very, very long time. Big clumps of fur would come out if you even lightly touched him, and covered me head to toe in fur. He smelled like poo, and his teeth were very yellow and absolutely disgusting... and his shots were out of date.<br />
Of course, he is well groomed now, shots are taken care of, teeth cleaned, I've given him 2 nice long baths since we got him, and I furminate him every day and his condition has improved a lot.<br />
<br />
Question 1)<br />
We have a card/pem mix puppy, who is about 6 months. He is very nice to our new card, doesn't annoy him, but the card can absolutely not stand him. I keep telling everyone it's because the card is older and is trying to make his rank in the "pack", but my puppy cannot even approach him without getting a vicious snap, or even walk by him. We have taken them to neutral ground, and it seems a bit better there, but our puppy was here first anyway. Any ideas?<br />
<br />
Question 2)<br />
If I try to brush around his hips/hocks, he will snap at me. Even if I'm verrryyy gentle. He lets me touch them and pet them... but he hates them being brushed. He also twitches very badly, his muscles will spasm hard if you brush over that area. Is he just sensitive or could he have a back/hip problem? He can jump onto the bed just fine and runs (but not fast at all, and it's rare).... any solution for this?<br />
<br />
Question 3)<br />
He steals food. If you are on corgi level, and you have any kind of food, he will charge at you. He is fed a balanced diet (blue buffalo), gets treats and rewards all the time, is obviously not hungry, but he will charge at you, teeth showing, focused on that food. It is very scary. He does it for treats sometimes too. Any ideas on this? I'm trying to teach him leave it, our puppy knows it, but is that really all it will take?<br />
<br />
Question 4)<br />
He is very very shy. He barely vocalizes, hates to play, follows me around everywhere, doesn't like new people. I know cards are more laid back than pems, but I'm sure this is some kind of personality flaw... it just isn't right in any breed. He seems very unsure of himself and insecure. Can I help him in any way? I want to be able to take him places once he is settled and more comfortable with me, but with the way he acts now, I don't think I can- I'm afraid he would bite out of fear.<br />
<br />
Thanks for any help I'll receive. I love this little guy and really want to help him. His owners seem to had severely neglected him giving him all sorts of behavioral problems. I've been around cards before and this guy just acts a little "off." How prone to back issues are corgi's?tag:mycorgi.com,2010-02-28:1150197:Topic:6230792010-02-28T15:38:03.868ZJenny Davenporthttp://mycorgi.com/profile/JennyDavenport
We have a 3 mo. old pembroke. No health issues. According to web info they can get back injuries,. My question to you all is, Should she be allowed to jump on/off the furniture? how about in/out of the car? Right now she is not allowed (I don't think she is even capable yet). When she is full grown how much or what kind of activity is bad for their back? Are we being overly concerned? Thank you for any replies, Jenny
