As I posted here previously, corgis are not seen so often in our small country in the middle of Europe. My Risa is clearly the only corgi living in my town and its surroundings. When I walk him, I'm being stopped by many people asking me questions and admiring my Risa. It seems that nobody knows this breed here, I feel like a corgi pioneer. Sometimes I'm a bit offended by people telling me what a nice mixture or crossbreed it is! I'm a big educator here and first results are coming: no-one… Continue

Risa is 12 weeks now and doing really great. The 4 weeks we've spent with him were full of worries, but full of fun, too. We love him so much! He turned to be a strong personality, stubborn sometimes, but brave and intelligent. We couldn't do much training because of his 2-weeks-long stomach problems - no treats, no training. But he learned a lot about our life just by watching us.

He's quite good on the leash, just a little bit of FRAPing sometimes. I take him to the town very often to… Continue

Risa is making me happy with his at last solid poops. His stool has been normal for 2 days now and I plan to start adding his old food to the recent chicken+rice diet tomorrow. His ears are still down, but he's not losing weight anymore. Today, we made a trip on a leash to the nearby castle and we really enjoyed it. Hopefully, Risa will be OK now.

Yesterday, after 5 days of runs and feeding chicken+rice, Risa had NORMAL stool. Maybe it sounds like I'm crazy, but I was totally happy. The little poop in the garden made me relaxed again. We visited the vet in the afternoon to tell him the news and he checked Risa quickly, saying he will be fine. Today morning I gave Risa his rice and waited for his poopy, but it was not so solid again and followed by yellow-like diarrhea. I'm frustrated. After the week of runs he's slowly losing weight and… Continue

So I was solving my Risa's diarrhea, looking for poops in the garden, cooking him rice and chicken, giving him pills twice a day. I was very worried, he's too young for 5-days-long runs. I was stressed, couldn't even concentrate at work. And then came my boyfriend, who's got his German shepherd living at his parents' house. Rina, the shepherd, had a gastric dilatation - volvulus. She probably had her stomach twisted from 9 pm till morning, it's a miracle that she survived and got a surgery at 9… Continue

Our little guy (finally decided - his name is Risa, pronounced like Reesha in our language) is having this problem for four days now. I switched to rice+chicken on Monday, but it doesn't seem to help. Today I found something looking like rice in his little non-solid poo. I'm not sure if it is really the rice I'm feeding him, or if these are the eggs of some worm. We're going to the vet today, hope he will help.

Interesting thing is, that I seem to be the only one to worry about the… Continue
