is it I always put it at marble floor...so become like this

I don't think it is advisable to have a Corgi pup do most of their walking and running on a very slippery floor - it is a bit like a pup under six months constantly going up and down whole sets of steps. However there could be genetic things wrong with your pup or Pico may have bone deficiencies ( not sufficiently strong enough). I had a female Pem pup for a little while and gave her up when her sideways walk never improved to match that of a normal Corgi who can walk and gait in a straight line. I hope for the vet to discover a remedy for Pico. Maybe she needs to get out on roads or pavements under a leash and given lots of room to move around in a grassy park on a retractable long leash. Is Pico on a good puppy food schedule which includes the maximum allowable calcium and other puppy necessities.

get him off the marble floor and on a rug or grass and see if that will help these little guys are like kids they need help to walk up right and a hard floor is not it

Thank alot for the senior here...I will put rug soon ...hope it will back to normal...I will let it eat the Calcium also ... thx for teach me so much

Just to reinforce what I and Chip's Dad have said: Urgently take your Corgi for lots of short walks (short, because he is only four months old) - at least eight a day. Cover up any slippery surfaces inside your house where he walks/runs. If you don't do this, permanent damage could be the result and we don't want this to happen.

Yesterday I take over to vet there check x-ray..Pico really got problem on hip...now taking the medicine...Hope after this 2 month it will recover back...
If Pico got this hip problem is that in the future still can breed??? How to different the Hip is cause by genetic DNA or is growing area effect it

I would not recommed breeding any dog with a hip problem. If the puppy is dysplastic or has hip problems at this age it's probably genetic.

I second Peggy's recommendation of not breeding any dog with a hip problem. For the symptoms to be showing up so severely in a puppy this young - not a good thing and I concur that it is probably genetic. IF you breed her she will only pass this problem on to her puppies. Their owners will be facing the same worries and concerns you are dealing with in Pico.

How very sad for you and Pico. I can only hope that she has a temporary problem that will clear up after medication and time and in the strengthening of her bones etc

After 2 weeks ,I bring Pico over the Vet this morning, he say my puppy still got pain at the hip...He say what can you do know is keep eat the Synoquin...and bring it have some exercise like swimming and walk to build up the muscle strengh ...He also say last time got 1 case for Rotweiller same got Hip problem, now already recover back ok already...He say Pico maybe will get worst or recover back need depend the environment and the therapy it take...

What can I do know is take care Pico well...Hope soon will over ,for this bad sign
