Hi Lala
Very sorry to hear of your Corgi's severe arthritis
Keep his weight down to a little below the ideal because weight pressure does no favours.
Surgery on your Corgi's leg joint is a LAST RESORT but appropriate surgery can reduce pain and improve movement and function.
Treatment options include Cortisone, Visco-Supplementation, Recovery SA and medication such as a combination of deer velvet, sharks cartilage, green mussel etc.
