I have a younger Corgi, less than 2 years old at the time of purchasing. He had hurt himself pretty badly at around 6-7 months old by being a rambunctious pup- as nothing showed up on the x-ray, he was diagnosed with a torn groin muscle and put on crate rest. A nightmare for a rambunctious pup! Unfortunately, that wasn’t the end of his pain and it continued to get worse. Over the next almost year, he would randomly not be able to walk well for a few days and would clearly be in pain. The vet was at a loss and finally recommended an orthopedic specialist, with a price point of several thousands of dollars. Although we were willing to do anything and pay anything, it seemed like relief was still way too far away. The final straw was when he was going through another episode and it was the worst one yet. He couldn’t even sleep as he was unable to get any relief without taking the weight off of his neck completely. He would seek out a pillow and rest his head/weight on it. I said that was it and immediately began searching for braces. I offered a lil back bracer the same day. This was 4 months, possibly 5 months ago now- and my baby has not had a single episode since. We make sure he wears it when he plays but doesn’t need to wear it otherwise. The only possible time he’s had any mild signs of pain is when we’ve forgotten to put it on prior to a play session, though this has actually only happened once. Going from episodes once a month, to none in 4-5 months has given my, still very young and rambunctious, Corgi a new lease on life and I couldn’t be more grateful for that. He has been tested for any genetic, blood, bacteria, and viral diseases- but we suspect the injury when he was still young never had a chance to heal and continued to get worse as it’s impossible to keep him down for long. I know he will be forever grateful as well, though he doesn’t even know how lucky he is we found this brace. We were even advised that he did not need to visit the orthopedic specia
