I looked at a couple videos last night very briefly since it was so heartbreaking to watch! Thanks for the cart info! I hope to get this figured out soon!

Thanks Jennifer! Cooper is really stiff and will fall over or just lay there a lot which is not like him at all! I hope we can get a diagnoses quickly if this is DM so we can be prepared and give him the best chance of being as happy as he can be in his situation!

It sounds like DM to me too. My one dog, Dillon, was a corgi mix and I'm pretty sure that's what was wrong with him. One day he just started shaking in his back legs, and we thought he was in pain so put him on pain medicine. Didn't work. It progressed over months to where he couldn't get up, walked really stiff, fell over quite frequently. We made it work for probably a year or more, but eventually he got basically Alzheimers and we had to put him down. I'm sorry...let us know how you…

We all know how heart-breaking it is to see them sick in some way. If it is DM, like others have said, there are carts for them to help them walk. And we can help you find ways to pay for them...

Sidney had hind end trouble 10 months ago; his was sudden and extreme and turned out to be a blown hip from undiagnosed hip dysplasia. He had FHO surgery and has since recovered. He can't walk as far without getting tired and will have lifelong arthritis; I love him so much and it was so hard to see him in pain. I feel for you and hope your news is a "best case scenario". Good luck, we'll be thinking of you and Cooper.

<p>It could be a disc that is blowing-- definitely get more X-rays and stuff, and if at all possible, an MRI. Any hind end weakness is serious business for a Corgi. I hope you don't get bad news! </p>

<p>I don't want you to think that corgis with DM lose their spunk. If you've seen videos of corgis with DM then you know that a lot of them do quite well, especially in a cart, if they're fitted soon enough. You might check into the "wheel corgi" group on yahoo groups (there might be a link on this site). That group has so much love, support and information, from experience. It might be worthwhile to join.</p>

<p>In particular, Bobbie Mayer is the Cart Coordinator for Corgi Aid and they can offer assistance with a cart if you meet the eligibility. Most importantly, please don't think that DM is "the end". If there is a good side to DM, it isn't painful, where as other neurological issues can be extremely painful. Also, Bobby has two dogs in carts now, and Candy her oldest in the cart, competes in agility, rally and has even tried herding. I'm sure there are lots of videos of Candy on uTube.</p>

Unfortunately it does sound a lot like DM. Poor guy. Crossing my fingers its something else and your vet can pinpoint the cause. It may be worth taking your x-rays to a neurologist or having them read by a certified radiologist to see if they can see something that a general practitioner may have missed. Good luck.
