• Rear Splint extends above hock and completely under the foot, giving full support to bottom of pet’s leg.
• Keeps pet’s leg in normal walking position.
• Supports and stabilizes hock and paw areas of rear limbs.
• Allows weight to be put on the broken or weak limb.
• Provides an easy way to provide daily wound therapy.

It’s important to remember that any splint or bootie placed on a pet’s foot will need to be removed at bedtime, and should be removed for at least an hour during the day to allow the foot to breathe.
