Pet prosthetic Solutions

	Henry is a Rottweiler that was born with the umbilical cord wrapped around his right front paw, as a result his paw is shorter and malformed causing him difficulty in walking and balancing. We fabricated a prosthetic extension with some spring built into it so that he could balance and walk and or run with it in place.
He is currently getting used to his new prosthesis which will require adjustments as he continues to grow. We are hoping he does not chew the end off his prosthesis as it is made of a similar material to his chew toys.
	George is a black Labrador Retriever that was hit by an automobile. As a result he had lost the use of muscles in his front paw ("drop paw"). We fabricated a brace that supported his paw while standing and kept it from dragging while walking.
PLS Type brace for paw.
	Henry's updated photo: Henry seems happy with his prosthesis many months after it's delivery (despite some spots that were chewed up a bit). McKinley was fitted with an orthosis with a lift to help stabilize his paw and equalize his paw length.
Polar is a Golden Retriever that needed a rear leg prosthesis in order to support him due to paralysis of both rear legs prior to his amputation. He is as far as we can tell the first dog to undergo an immediate post operative prosthesis (IPOP). This was performed at The Matthew J. Ryan Veterinary Hospital University of Pennsylvania by Dr. David Diefenderfer December 13, 2004.
