The Walkin’ 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.
- 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 care.
- During nighttime hours, we recommend using the 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.
- Soft tissue injuries to tarsal or metatarsal tendons/ligaments
- Achilles tendon injury
- Tarsal or metatarsal joint instabilities or malformations
- Neurological conditions causing knuckling of paw
- Post-surgical protection
Please consult with your veterinarian to determine whether this is the best treatment for your pet.
Walkin’ Rear Splints are designed to support the lower part of the legs. They will not stabilise the knee on the rear leg. Please check with your local veterinarian before using the splint on your dog, cat, or other pet.
