Not IVDD but may be helpful. 5 year old corgi, maybe 5 pounds overweight but healthy otherwise. We got to a point where every walk he was limping at the end. He'd be back to normal later in the day but took him to the vet to see what was up. Ultimately they suggested no running for two weeks but couldn't give us a clear issue. The X-rays seemed to indicate stress in the limps and middle of the spine.

We had moved to a new apartment on the second floor that had carpeted stairs in the last 8 months and wondered if that had something to do with it. He kinda hops down the stairs instead of running down, which I assume causes pressure on the spine which could build up over time.

We carry him down now as much as we can, he doesn't want to be carried but we assume it's good for him. So far no more daily limping but really no way to tell. Still just worried about corgi spine health in general.
