At 2:00pm on February 5, 2010, Nicole Piper said…: The vet classified it as Disk Disease but she xrayed him and said that she couldn't specifically identify any specific area of damage but that is good because if he had a disk out he would have had to have back surgery. He was having back pains and his back end was shaking and he wouldn't walk and when he did at the vets it was very stiff. She said that Corgis have long backs that make them at high risks for back injuries....she said the jumping on and off bed/couchs is harmful. Tex has never shown any signs of pain when jumping before it was very strange!
