ABSTRACT:
A veterinary appliance for use on a selected front leg of a small animal, such as a canine or feline, to isolate the leg includes a brace detachably mountable on the leg for limiting the extent to which the ulnar portion of the leg may be bent toward its associated humeral portion. The brace nonetheless permits substantially unconstrained movement of the leg to an extended position. Additionally, the brace includes a first section which is mountable on the ulnar portion and a second section connected thereto which is configured to engage the humeral portion and transfer a reactive force to the first section and correspondingly to the ulnar portion to prevent further bending toward the humeral portion after bending to a predetermined angular position has occurred.
