Oh, okay. In that case, I'd be leery of her jumping on and off the bed, and try to keep her from jumping on and off couches. Strategically placed sheets of aluminum foil can help with that--many Yorkies don't like to jump onto aluminum foil. If it were my Bella, I'd have to ask to vet to prescribe a mild sedative, because she can easily jump on and off the bed and couches, does heroic leaps off the back of the sofa, and runs like a bullet-dog when I walk her outdoors.
