Balto BT Hock Brace (Medium)

Brand New Medium size. Fits a petite Black Lab sized dog. The dog hock brace is commonly used to support hock instability, collateral ligament, tendon rupture, osteoarthritis, tarsal arthrodesis, joint fusion. The brace can also be used without its metal splints for conditions such as arthritis and arthrosis. The compression it provides increases the blood pressure in the area of the hock, thus raising the temperature. This reduces the pain caused by the conditions. Also used for protection purposes, it can contain plasters or bandages, with or without medication, in the case of surgical wounds or pressure sores. Also excellent after surgery.
