Toby has the same problem. We started giving him Bran cereal and that has really helped. We aslo give them yogurt and it helps with the "gasiness". Good luck! Toby hates it when we have to do a "butt check" and baby wipes to clean him.

Molly has this issue from time to time. I laughed out loud when you said that she hangs her head in shame, because our Molly does the same thing! The stool consistency is directly related to their diet. Try switching foods and treats and see if that helps. Your vet might also have some good advice about this. In the meantime, a moist paper towel or baby wipe is your answer, as unpleasant as that may be.<br />

The gas is definitely a food issue. So again, try switching foods--but remember that you…

Indeed bring her to a groomer, preferably one that has worked with corgis before. Ask that they trim around her "butt" only to give clearance for elimination. Ask that they blend the hair so she doesnt look like she has a baboon butt. I would also suggest changing foods. Typically corgis that frequently soil themselves dont have firm stools. That combined with the gas you speak of tells me this food is not agreeable to her system. Good luck!

When I brush Cheez-it I brush his rear-thigh hair outwards (away from his butt) and it's so course that it stays that way and doesnt look any different. That is what solved this problem for me, he still steps on his poop alot though....yuck.

I feed Taste of the Wild.<br />
Her tail stub is out of the way, but the fur on the sides of her butt, below the tail stub, seems to be longer than Hunter's, and I think that's the problem. Hopefully some grooming will help.

I understand,from talking to a groomer awhile back,that he,d seen a lot of that in Corgis.I was surprised,because Kitty has never had that problem.I think I would have a groomer trim her butt hair(like you said).I speculate that it might be the length of the tail stub and hair length.<br />
The gassyness may be the food-what do you feed her?
