back injuries

My little fella has hurt his back again...he is really long backed for a Corgi. I am just heart broken he is in pain. went to emergency vet today, he is on Rymidyl and a pain med. he is using his legs ok, but I see he is weak in the back. have any of you had any issues with corgis and back issues?

Quincy has been going to a holistic vet receiving chiropractic and acupuncture since he was 2, he just turned 7 on Sunday. I have found keeping his back adjusted and the acupuncture make him feel better. Lately he has been having an issue with limping on his back right leg and the chiropractic and acupuncture have even helped him with that. The other thing my vet told me to do with Quincy is when he is standing tickle his belly so he sucks his belly in and straightens up his back. It will help keep his back muscles strong and upright. Hope this helps :)
