ABSTRACT:
The present invention is substantially an animal head support device and method of use which may be used by veterinarians or other qualified persons to adjustably and comfortably support the head of an anaesthetized animal during medical treatment or other procedures. The device includes a ring for receiving the head of an animal there through, a support means, such as a rope, for supporting the ring from an overhead structure, and a padded chin rest. The device may further include a cam cleat which allows for variable height adjustment. An alternative embodiment is disclosed which provides a ground mounted support device in which a flexible stand supports a U-shaped ring which in turn supports the head of the animal.
