ABSTRACT:
A device and garment for use by small animals of both sexes to absorb and collect body waste fluids. The device includes an outer garment (14) which has a waist aperture (16) for fitting around the body of a small animal (12), a pair of leg apertures (18 and 20) for fitting around the legs of the animal, and a tail aperture (22). The waist aperture (16) and the leg apertures (18 and 20) include a resilient material or band (28 and 30) for assuring that the apertures fit snugly around the animal's body and legs respectively. The tail aperture (22) is particularly located and of such a size that the anal opening of the animal is not covered. The outer garment (14) further includes a first portion (32) of an attaching means such as a snap or "Velcro" fastener at a first location which is adjacent the tail aperture (22) and in between the leg apertures (18 and 20). Also included is another first portion (34) of an attaching means located adjacent the waist aperture (16). A disposable pad (36) is fit within the outer garment (14) as an absorbent layer (38) and a liquid impervious layer (40). A second portion (54) of an attaching means which cooperates with either of the first portions (32 or 34) on the garment (14) is used to hold the disposable pad in appropriate locations within the outer garment (14).
