Welcome Sarah :) It was great seeing you tonight! I can't wait to see those pictures!

Hello everyone! I'd like to introduce myself and my resident corgi butt. I'm Sarah and I am a very frequent to the visitor to the Denton Dog Park; I met up with some other mycorgi.com people tonight.

 

I'm at the Denton Dog Park almost every day, though Greatta, my corgi, and I are usually on the big dog side of the park so my Labrador and Weimaraner can stretch their legs. I'm looking forward to meeting more corgis and their owners! I hope to be able to come on Sunday, so stick around until 3 or something so I can have time to get there and meet some new friends!

We will certainly be there sunday -- hope to see lots of you there!  And thanks so much to everyone for their insights on corgis and their little legs.  The radiologist agreed that it was a bone spur -- not a big deal, it isn't causing pain now, but he may get arthritis in that joint as he ages.  So, we'll watch his weight, we won't pursue agility with him, and he'll start a glucosamine/chondroitin supplement. 

@Shelley -- yes, I remember Emma and how her hop does not slow her down in the least!!  And they are tough little dogs, very determined, and very happy just to be themselves.  I would like to be a LOT more like my dogs, lol. . .

Shelly pointed out to me that the meetup is THIS Sunday. For some reason, I was thinking it was the 9th. Okay so are we meeting at 2?

Not sure if Emma and I will make it tomorrow.  We're driving in from Houston and sometimes the car ride is enough for her.  She LOVES playing with the other Corgis and she's probably been missing Felix ;p

 

@Danielle - Emma has limped her whole life - well, not limped, but hopped rather.  I don't know if you were at the last Corgi meetup, but it's very obvious that she travels differently.  Don't think I think your Roo has anything similar to Emma, but I just wanted to add that while Emma's X-rays have never shown ANYTHING abnormal, she has never shown us pain - she just hops.  There have been times I worry she is in pain and just doesn't show it.  She's never resisted us messing with her legs.  I think that these are REALLY resilient little dogs with a true "mind over matter" mentality.  I sure hope your Roo is alright!

Danielle: I am no Vet. But based upon what my Vet has told me and my expereince. Corgis are a true dwarf breed, so therefore they may be more prone for bone and muscle problems. Which is one reason we need to watch their weight, due to the short legs and stress on their backs. When Boudreaux was only 6, he was limping real bad. Took him in and the Vet first thought bone spurs, but it is Arthritis ALSO, after looking at the x-rays.  At this young of an age?? But I have had him on very low doses of  metacam. No known sides affects that we (vet and I) have noticed.  Again, I am no Vet, but the research I did on this kind of medicine the Metacam is low dose and not as many side effects.

Bourdreaux has no problem now running and playing. He is 7 now and no limping. He is, or was at the time not over weight like my other Corgi, Labus.  Labus limps sometimes, but he is 10 and over weight, but on a diet. The Vet did do x-rays on Labus, but he just has fat around his sockets. (I am a bad Momma, I know, he is on OM and green beans).. I hope this helps you, I know kinda long. Have a great day!! I will keep Roo in my prayers.

Maybe Sunday! My boyfriend is having his wisdom teeth yanked on Friday so we'll see how he is feeling.

Calling all corgi owners:

I have a medical question:  Roo, our little red brindle cardi, has developed a limp, and the xrays showed what looks like a bone spur where the shoulder bone socket meets the arm bone.  He is not in pain, he lets us (incl. vet) manipulate it every which way without a reaction.  Vet is sending xrays off to radiologist for second opinion, because corgi legs are so different.  Anyone have any experience with corgis and bone spurs?  We've ruled out OCD (basically dysplasia of the shoulder  joint) and any muscular/tendon/foot issues.  Thanks!

P.S.  This will not keep Roo from coming with on Sunday, lol. . .

We might be able to do Sunday, but I'll probably have to be out there Wednesday since I've told every corgi owner I've seen in Denton the last few days...
