Banning Thread Dictator Donating Member | Eddie gets OK to return to agility! Some of you might remember a thread I had a while back that said Eddie came up limping after a run-in with a neighborhood puppy. The vet didn't know what it was for sure but thought it could be serious: a cranial cruciate tear. He advised me to pull him out of agility and to bring him back in three months. Today was his three-month appointment, and he passed with apparent flying colors. No problems showed up on the radiograph, and no problems showed up on a range-of-motion test. He was cleared to resume agility class! It doesn't mean he's not going to reinjure it, but it means it didn't get worse and may have been something else. I'm going to try to get him back into agility but take it slow, maybe skip some of the more stressful exercises until he builds up some strength. Woohoo!

| You gotta start practising indoors so he'll be ready! Set up wee hurdles down the hall (short bamboo sticks on video tapes or a wee stack of books or something) set up weave poles like mine - bamboo poles in bottles. A sheet on the floor makes a great collapsible tunnel. Send him onto the "table" ie an armchair. And if you come up with any other indoor agility training stunts let me know! And I wanna see a video of eddie barrelling down the hallway over hurdles!
