I know exactly what you mean about the "pee-pee dance". I call it a mid-air squat.
If you have a Pemborke Corgi with no tail, then she may not be raising her tail.
I wonder about your vet if there was not much of an exam. It seems like he probably had to touch her to check the deep pain in her feet. Corgis are a breed that is prone to disk problems. I would think your vet would be excited that she was pushing out her own pee. I would be!
You can't keep them from moving around inside the crate. Changing position is to be expected. If she starts to stand up in her crate later, you can't prevent that, either. It's just that some people start to feel sorry for the dog, especially when it seems like the dog is improving. Then it is tempting to say, "Oh, let's let her lie on the sofa with us while we watch TV." (No...) "Let's let her sleep with us like she's used to doing since she was a puppy." (No...) "Let me just hold her on my lap for a little while." (No...) "She's doing so well, surely it won't hurt to just walk around the yard a little." (No...not if her full crate rest isn't finished yet...)
There are a lot of temptations during crate rest. It takes tough love. The first week is the hardest but you are past that, and hopefully, the rest is working. You want it to be really-really-really healed, absolutely as well as possible before you relax her restrictions. I always say 8 weeks of strict crating is a small price to pay for a lifetime of walking. A lifetime of paralysis is a high price to pay for an hour of playtime before the dog is ready.
Something you may want to start thinking about is her home enviornment. They recommend an IVDD dog who has had a disk episode should not be allowed to jump up and down off of furniture anymore, and not allowed to go up and down stairs. So depending on where you live, you may want to think about blocking furniture or getting little indoor ramps (though I worry because some dogs will run up and then jump down
![Sad :(](./images/smilies/icon_sad.gif)
) and possibly think about a ramp if there are steps out to the back yard. But there is time to think about that, she is still resting.
What sorts of things is she doing, where you are wondering if it means she's getting better or worse? Is she chewing her feet?
It is scary, because you don't know how it's going to turn out. All you can do is do is, do the crate rest right right to the best of your ability so you won't have to kick yourself later because you wish you had been stricter. If by chance it doesn't work (hopefully it is working, but just in case...) at least you will know you gave it your best shot, while you figure out where to go from there.
And there is an assistance website for Corgis. One thing they offer is wheelchairs, if available.
