ABSTRACT:
An animal protective device is provided for covering and protecting a medical appliance, such as a cast, splint, bandage or wrapping secured to one or more appendages, such as a forelimb or hindlimb, of an animal. The animal protective device includes a sleeve or tubular-shaped portion having an open upper end, a closed bottom end, and an interior cavity for receiving and containing the animal's appendage and medical appliance. The protective device is readily conformable to the respective medical appliance, and also includes adjustable securement structure for permitting either snug or loose attachment of the device to the medical appliance. In addition, the device includes outwardly-displaceable, opposed lower corners which facilitate conformation of the device to the medical appliance and diminish discomfort and awkwardness in the animal's gait when the device is attached to the medical appliance and the animal's appendage.
