If a Corgi needs to gain weight or muscle, consider the following. First, gradually increase its food intake so it eats a bit more each day. Note that being overweight easily leads to obesity issues like diabetes and high blood lipids, so control the feeding amount appropriately.
Second, increasing protein intake helps the Corgi build muscle; choose a high-protein dog food or add high-protein foods like meat, eggs, or goat milk. Finally, take the Corgi out for exercise daily; proper exercise helps build muscle and reduce fat.

← How can you tell if a dog's eye discharge is normal?
My dog threw up a little food after dinner a week ago; I thought he had eaten too much and ignored it. Two hours later he suddenly vomited bright red, very watery blood. We rushed to the hospital for an X-ray, which ruled out a foreign object. CP L 223.75, amylase 471, lipase 71, creatinine 90.2, BUN 10.66, canine C-reactive protein 12.5. The vet said mild pancreatitis and gave an injection. On the third day an abdominal ultrasound showed an enlarged pancreas; CP L 88.48, amylase 456, lipase 62, creatinine 52.5, BUN 484, canine C-reactive protein 19.2. At first the dog had slight abdominal pain, the belly felt a bit hard but pressing caused no pain. No arched-back posture, appetite very good, stools normal, even a bit dry. No fever, very energetic. Now after stopping injections we feed small meals and a prescription diet, but every morning on an empty stomach he vomits thin brownish-yellow water, then is normal, with very good appetite and energy and normal stools.
