Really, all we can do is watch them with eagle eyes when they visit someplace different. Or, use belly bands as was suggested.

Are you and Eddie still taking classes? How is that going?

Thanks for the advice, everyone! I feel a little better about it. I hadn't considered belly bands but will pick some up.

FirstYorkie, we had to withdraw from Agility 2 in October because Eddie came up limping while playing with a neighborhood pup. Anti-inflammatories took care of the problem within days, but we decided to pull him out of agility until he's rechecked next month. The vet suspects a cranial cruciate injury, which is normally something for bigger, older dogs. Unfortunately, if that's the case, it will progressively get worse unless he has surgery. I'm hoping the vet's wrong this time.
