Rear Leg Splint for Dogs & Cats - Hock & Paw Immobiliser

When your dog or cat suffers a hind limb injury, effective immobilisation is essential for proper healing and recovery. This specialist rear leg splint from Ortocanis has been modelled on a human orthopaedic splint and expertly adapted for canine and feline anatomy, providing firm, comfortable support for the lower hind limb, hock (tarsus), and paw.

Suitable for a wide range of conditions including fractures, tarsal injuries, paw trauma, and neurological problems where the limb needs to be held in correct alignment, this splint is an ideal solution whether your vet has recommended splinting post-surgery or as a conservative management approach.

Constructed with a rigid outer shell and soft inner lining, the splint immobilises the hock and paw while remaining comfortable enough for extended wear. Secure fastenings allow for easy fitting and removal, and the design accommodates gradual adjustments as swelling reduces during recovery.

Ortocanis is a trusted specialist in veterinary orthopaedic supports, with products developed alongside veterinary professionals and rehabilitation specialists. This rear leg splint reflects that expertise — giving your pet the best possible foundation for a safe and successful recovery.

N/A

1. Measure your pet's hind limb carefully and confirm the correct size before fitting. 2. Gently position the splint along the lower hind limb, ensuring the hock and paw are correctly aligned within the device. 3. Secure the fastenings firmly but without over-tightening — you should be able to slide one finger beneath each strap. 4. Check the fit regularly, especially in the first few days as post-injury swelling may change. 5. Inspect the skin beneath the splint daily for any redness, rubbing, or sores. 6. Remove and refit as directed by your vet, and always seek veterinary advice if your pet shows signs of discomfort or the fit changes significantly.

Always consult a veterinarian before use. Do not apply if skin beneath the limb is broken, infected, or showing signs of severe irritation. Check fit daily and loosen immediately if swelling, restricted circulation, or excessive rubbing is observed. Do not leave the splint on indefinitely without veterinary supervision. Keep out of reach of children. Store in a clean, dry location away from direct sunlight when not in use. Clean the splint regularly according to the manufacturer's instructions to maintain hygiene.
