10kg for a female junior Cardi is underweight on the basis she is of around average structure. She should be at least 12kg - perhaps nearer 13kg.
The daily meals you give her seem good in type - cooked tripe (boiled for four-five minutes) is the best meat you can give a dog as a supplement; goats milk is superior to any other kind of milk though a weaned dog does not need any milk of any description; make sure the dry food is super premium and AAFCO-tested and passed/approved. Adding a little carbo supplements will help put on weight without increasing the dry food content - such as cooked brown rice, cooked pasta or cooked potato.

I simply find overweight Corgis a huge disappointment both for the poor Corgi and for the owner who doesn't care or is unaware of her/his responsibilities. Conformation showing can and does produce Corgis that are not of an ideal weight probably in certain countries than in others because of the general perception of breeders and show handlers/owners. So Corgis in some countries are getting bigger and bigger and because the winners and placegetters are on the bigger size, those smaller (and conforming to the lower end of the standards) are seen as the 'out-of-order' and therefore unfashionable. My Taylor's ideal weight for shows is not his ideal weight for agility - and agility equates to a Corgi doing what he/she is designed to do - herd in moving and running and racing for lengthy periods of time on a daily basis.

I had one Corgi who was underweight for show purposes until he turned three. He was an embarrassment to the breeders but finished up as one of New Zealand's most winningness Pembroke Corgi of the era.

Nails - must be kept short - just longer than the quick - otherwise the quick will grow and the nales will needlessly become longer. The best method of keeping nails short is to walk/trot your Corgi regularily (almost daily) and for lengthy periods over roads and pavements - that way no need to have the nails trimmed.
