<p>Hello Everyone!</p>
<p>We've noticed that Bear has been scratching his back leg (and sometimes the front legs) a lot in the mornings (sometimes to the point where he's even squeaked from how bad it is). I was wondering if anyone else has experienced this with their corgis? He doesn't have any fleas, red spots/rashes, or skin showing thru his fur so I can't really pinpoint anything. It's only in the mornings, we've never noticed it as much throughout the day. I would love to hear some…</p>

<p>My vet described Winnie as being "bandy-legged". Her front legs are bent inward with a large joint or knuckle at that point. I'm aware that this is a bad trait in Corgis but Winnie's a rescue so.....</p>
<p>Aside from diet and preventing her from jumping off things is there anything that can be done to lessen this problem? Due to a shoulder strain (in her "SHELBO" as the Vet calls it) she's on occasional Rimadyl.</p>

<p>This morning I found Penny waiting for me at the bottom of the stairs (she always sleeps upstairs). Then when I let her out she wouldn't come back up the stairs. Then when I sat down in the chair she wouldn't jump up to sit with me. I laid her down and felt around the inside where her back leg meets her body and she yelped when I touched the left side.

<p>Yesterday, Emma was rough housing with some bigger dogs at our local dog park and I think pulled/sprained her leg. She immediately began limping. There was no swelling, and she let me poke/prod her entire leg. Later that night, she began putting weight back on it and even went so far as to jump on the bed (despite my telling her not to).</p>

<p>We had a day trip at the lake today. My Corgi (Newman) had a blast swimming and walking around exploring. When we got home, I noticed when he got out of the car, he was limping a little bit in his hind legs. I checked legs to see if anything had bitten him. They looked fine. He took a nap, but when it was time to go outside to potty, he couldn't get up. He struggled to get up several times. It seemed like his hind legs were giving out on him. When he walkes, he limps a little as well. I am…</p>

Has anyone had problems with their Corgi's hind legs like this? Can anyone give me advice about what to expect from the vet visit?

I have a Pembroke that will be two years old in June. Ever since I got her, she has always sat down strangely. When she sits, she sort of rolls over onto her back right leg--her right leg is always tucked underneath her body when she is sitting. Has anyone else had a dog that does this? And does it affect them at all? About a year ago, she was limping on and off, only after sleeping for awhile. I took her to the vet, and he said she was overweight (at the time she weighed 30 pounds) and he…

And does it affect them at all? About a year ago, she was limping on and off, only after sleeping for awhile. I took her to the vet, and he said she was overweight (at the time she weighed 30 pounds) and he said that when she sits (because she sits on her leg) or when she lays down for a long time, being that she was overweight, her leg was falling asleep. The limping was due to her leg being asleep, and once it wore off, she stopped limping. Has anyone heard of this, either? It seemed legitimate because they put her on prescription food and as soon as she lost just one pound, the limping stopped completely. I was just wondering if anyone has had a similar experience. injured corgi ordered to "be still" for 10-14 days -- any tips?tag:mycorgi.com,2011-03-31:1150197:Topic:9664402011-03-31T17:20:54.437Zhannahhttp://mycorgi.com/profile/hannaho

<p>Poor Xylophone. He strained a muscle in his leg at the dog park and now has to spend 10-14 days "being still," which means no running, taking walks, playing, fetching, jumping, frolicking, etc.. However will the little corgi survive? X is a very active guy, and he doesn't understand why he can't go on his usual walks or go outside to chase bugs. He is already becoming sad and resentful.

Yesterday I took him out in the yard to go to the bathroom and he suddenly starting FRAPing from all the pent up energy, which of course made his limp worse. After that I realized that he needs to be leashed whenever he's outside to keep him from running around (I probably should have realized that beforehand, but he generally gets enough exercise that he doesn't FRAP all that often). I told the vet about the FRAP and he has proscribed some sedatives (!!!) for the poor guy. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Anyone gone through this before? Any tips for keeping a young corgi still, besides keeping him in cage all day? Any ideas on non-active (or no-running-around) amusements? I got him some big bones to chew on, to keep him from getting too bored. </p>

I think he tried going too fast, since he found a corner and curled up there. He's still shaking a little though looking more normal. It's as if he's really scared.<br/><br/>I've called the vet and I'm waiting for a call back. I thought I could go to the 24 hour hospital, but then again he seems to be slightly better, and I can take him to his regular vet tomorrow.<br/><br/>Do any of you have any suspicions as to what happened? Should I give him something for pain?<br/><br/>Hmm, now my hubby tells me he walked upstairs. <br/> When / where / how to check for genetic disease??tag:mycorgi.com,2010-08-10:1150197:Topic:7249782010-08-10T21:13:28.569ZOllie & Prie Misrahttp://mycorgi.com/profile/SwatiMisra

<div>I know some of those tests are a while away but I'd still like to know beforehand so I'm prepared! I'm glad to report that he's a very healthy boy and neither of his parents have any sign of health problems or genetic disease... I'm just considering testing anyway!</div>
