The OrthoVet Rear Splint for dogs and cats helps with rehabilitating injuries to the lower hind limbs that need to be splinted or braced in the normal walking position. Modeled after human splints, this product will provide stability and support for your pet’s lower rear limbs. The rear splint provides complete lower leg support, to help pets heal from injuries impacting their back paw/toes, hock/ankle.

PLEASE NOTE, SPLINTS ARE ALL BLACK INCLUDING THE PADDING. The red is not available to purchase.

Constructed of a lightweight, rigid plastic exterior, soft interior foam padding, non-skid pad on bottom, and touch-fastener closures.
- Rear Splint mimics the contour of a pet’s lower leg, extending above hock and completely under the foot, giving full support to the lower portion of pet’s rear leg.
- This sturdy and supportive design allows weight to be put on the injured or weak limb.
- An easy and convenient way to protect daily bandaging and wound ca

During nighttime hours, we recommend using the Walkin Pets - Walkin’ Hock Hugger to continue to offer light support while not wearing the splint.

- To get more of a custom fit add Walkin’ Custom-fit Foam sold separately.

How to Choose the Right Size

 

A: Measure from end of longest toenail to midpoint between hock and knee. This measurement is the total length of the splint. 

B: Measure from the end of longest toenail to the hock.

 C: To measure paw width, rest dog’s paw on a piece of paper, and mark either side of the widest part. Measure between these two points.
