<p>I would get a vet to check her over ASAP. Corgis can suffer from arthritis at any age, so check that it isn't the first sign of this. Mine had it in his front from less than 2yrs old, it has now spread to his rear legs and he still isn't even 4. Check for rear alignment spine issues also, these can be relieved by an animal chiropractor. Good luck, I'm sure she'll be just fine.</p>

<p>@Andria, Franklin actually has this disease, not EIC but the border collie version (border collie collapse) it carries a different genetic marker. This does not sound like EIC, in EIC/BCC the dog actually shows signs of severe hyperthermia/overheating before the collapse episodes and recovery takes much longer. This sounds much more like possibly a disc issue. I would be VERY careful with her for at least the next several weeks. You may have gotten very lucky with this very temporary…</p>

This sounds much more like possibly a disc issue. I would be VERY careful with her for at least the next several weeks. You may have gotten very lucky with this very temporary paralysis but if she jumps up or down or runs around she may end up injuring her back again and causing a more permanent paralysis. I personally would go to the vet to have her checked out just in case it is a back issue, they can go very badly very quickly. </p> I would have her seen by a ve…tag:mycorgi.com,2014-05-08:1150197:Comment:18617492014-05-08T16:08:40.686ZJanehttp://mycorgi.com/profile/Jane944

<p>@Andria. Very interesting information. Never heard of this condition before.</p>
<p>@Nicole. I would definitely want to check this out with a Vet to prevent further incidents, if possible. If you have an underlying problem or condition you will either be able to resolve it, or learn how to properly manage it. Most things are better when addressed early on. Do update us.</p>

<p>I would make a vet appointment and have her checked. I have never heard of EIC as Andrea suggested, interesting to know that. Beth also brought up several things that it could be. But it would be a good idea to make sure she doesn't have something starting to go with her spine. They are long dogs and can have a tendency for spine issues.

I didn't understand what was going on with Max and his neck when he started acting odd. I took him in and they did xrays and found out he had a calcification in his neck.

<p>Sounds like EIC (Exercise Induced Collapse). This is genetic and most commonly found in labs. However, Pems do also carry this gene. Essentially it's a condition that when excited and/or exercised too much can result in temporary paralysis. It doesn't cause any pain to the dog though. You can get them tested to see for sure if your pup does carry this gene. Even if it isn't EIC, I'd still take your pup to the vet to see if it was something like a seizure, stroke, or other neurological…</p>

Seizure? Disc problem? Neurological? If you have a vet on duty I would call and see what they suggest. If it happens again try to video the event.
