Our 4 year old male tear his ACL right before christmas after running in the park, after 2 consultations and 3 weeks on anti-inflammatory with much improvement. We were referred to a top orthopedic locally who determined that it was a partial tear of his ACL. We had the TTA surgery 4 weeks now. He is walking normally now but we are still restricting his activity per the vet's advice as the bone are not yet 100% heal. Complete healing takes 16 weeks but normal activity can be resumed in 12…

Yes, that is good advice, but it is so hard limiting their activity since corgis are so active! haha The vet did say that corgis have a unique bone structure, where their bones are bowed out a little more than others due to their stature. Hopefully with lots of rest Bailey will be back to normal and running around like the little crazy corgi she used to be :) I just feel so bad interrupting her daily FRAP!

My daughter and I each have a corgi they are brothers,they just turned one and both limp on the right front leg..She took hers to the vet and he said its something in short legged dogs called valgus deformity that has somthing to do with one bone growing faster than the other.

Our boy injured his back right leg also from running in the park 2 weeks ago. Been to the vet and clear from xray for bone injury. On anti-inflammatory and pain control atm. His condition has improved and now use his injured leg when walking but still limp when standing. Hes had similar injury but always recover within a few days. His medicine will run out in 2 days. Vet suggest taking another round of x-ray with him under anesthiatized or even do an MRI. I've read on other web site that most…

Bailey is a little over a year old. I don't think that she injured it running, playing, or jumping, but you are right, you just never know. We waited a few weeks to see if the limp went away, and it did for a while, and came back this week. It seems like she shows more struggle when waking up from a nap, and then stretches her right back leg out and limps for about 5 minutes then favors the other back foot for a while. I think we may just bring her in for an x-ray because when we touch her…

It could be anything. My Buddha has a chronic ACL tear from playing and running in a field when he was 2 yrs old. Have not gotten the surgery yet as the pain comes and goes (it's not there more often than it is) but I had XR done on both needs to get the for sure diagnosis and have also checked into the TPLO surgery just in case. I'd say go to the vet and get XR done.

Sampson is now a year very active and now for the second time is limping, It's his front right paw. He favors his left front paw. The Vet said to wait it out and Sam was on the stockier size at 38lbs since then we switch to Wellness adult from the the Wellness Puppy and hes lost his baby fat and is nice a trim. But is limping again he didn't limp for like 3 months.<br />

I'm concerned because he'll run and play non-stop and looks like hes having a blast but after a nap he walks with a little gimp.…

I'm concerned because he'll run and play non-stop and looks like hes having a blast but after a nap he walks with a little gimp. Its not a major limp but I'm just concerned after reading all these posts. I guess I'll start him on some supplements.<br />

Ours has arthritis that has been hugely helped by daily glycosamine tablets. Doesn't mean he doesn't limp occasionally after a long hike or a little too much tennis ball, but we can curb his pain with a prescription called Tramadol, and then he acts good as new. We find that the corgi spirit tends to make them "over-do." Be careful with jumping off furniture and such - even an ottoman is high for a corgi.
