Applications of a Prosthesis 🦿

A prosthesis can be used for a partial limb amputation. Amputation may be required for

⚪️ Severe trauma

⚪️ Cancer tumour

⚪️ Surgical complications

⚪️ Nerve damage

⚪️ Infections and wounds

⚪️ Congenital deformities

If the limb is partially amputated- meaning that there is still a decent amount of ‘stump’ or limb left we can consider the provision of a prosthesis.

If your pet is having a full limb amputation, please check to see if a partial limb amputation is possible with your vet. Often this not well known in the industry as an option. We are always happy to discuss with your vet to see if this is a viable option.

Please contact us if you have any questions or wondering if this is an option for your pet.

Time flys when you’re having fun! Cant believe it’s been 9 years since I had the opportunity to work with Bubbles the goat.

Our first bracing client… The start of Animal Tech

The conversation started with my horse’s Farrier about his pet goat with an unstable front leg. We blended both of our professional knowledge to see if we could stabilise it externally with a brace.
The brace worked extremely well and fitted like a glove! There was a lot of learning with treads wearing out, straps wearing and pressure management.
The use of materials, componentry and designs have changed a lot over the years since working with Bubbles.
I’m grateful for the opportunity to have worked with Bubbles which kick started Animal Tech and now have helped so many animals with their mobility!

All smiles after a successful casting!
Dior brought her support Emmabella along to help her through her assessment and casting.

The casting can he a bit of an unfamiliar process to some dogs. We will work with each dog to reduce the stress and get a good impression of the limb. Some need treats, pats, companion, standing, laying etc.

Dior was born missing some toes on her back foot. We are helping to restore the balance and weight bearing surface with a custom orthosis/ boot.

Animal Tech devices can be used in water!

Our devices are often paired with a tailored rehab program and water therapy can often be a part of that program. Wearing the orthosis in water can help to stabilise and protect compromised joints.

It is recommended that the brace is removed after use in water. Rinsed and dried before reapplication.

Reach out if you have any questions about your pets brace, use or if you think your pet might need one. [email protected]

✨ Archer ✨

Archer has bilateral Hock Hyperextension. We are helping to manage this conservatively with bilateral hock braces. These are designed to stop the extended movement of the hock joint but allow flexion. These are working well with controlling the position of the joint.
Archer is now working with rehabilitation vet .k9.rehab to manage his complex presentation as a young dog.

Conservative Management for Cruciate Rupture

A stifle brace provides external stability to the stifle (knee) joint. It works by using a four point force system to reduce the tibial thrust that occurs when the cruciate ligament is damaged. These braces are custom made and designed to suit the requirements of each dog as no two dogs are the same!

Stifle bracing is best paired with a rehabilitation program to encourage strength and conditioning as there is often a lot of de conditioning with these presentations.

Nova here is testing out her custom stifle brace for the first time! She is using a brace for a cruciate rupture and is also receiving a personalised rehab program from Victorian Veterinary Rehabilitation Centre

Please reach out to us to discuss stifle bracing for your dog. [email protected]
