THE SOLVER OF PROBLEMS MANY CANNOT SOLVE!

I enjoy working with all types of dogs, but especially dogs with sporting injuries (sports medicine) and those that are challenging or difficult to help.  I also specialize in dogs with degenerative myelopathy.

I always look at the big picture - I take into account the dog, its partner, environment, and sport or activities to determine what's going on and how to help. 

I provide teleconsultation services for Pet Parents who:

• Are looking for tools to successfully work with their dog at home
  
• Need help developing a plan for both the short-term and long-term
  
• Need help integrating treatments into their busy schedule (help in developing routines)

• Useful for lining the inside of many braces and boots 
• Ideal for covering seams, edges, and stitching that may irritate the skin as well as lining entire braces

Indications for Use

Product Description

The Surgi-Sox Torso provides coverage, protection and compression of the torso.  Compression can help prevent seroma formation following surgery and can also benefit animals with certain behaviorial issues.  Use of the Surgi-Sox Torso can often replace traditional bandaging methods and the dreaded Elizabethan Collar.  Surgi-Sox products are easy to apply.  Improved patient comfort reduces licking, chewing and scratching at wounds.  The simplicity of the product results in greater compliance.

Compression has been successfully used to calm animals and can be beneficial for the recovering patient and for anxious, excitable or fearful animals in both the clinic and home setting.

The level of compression can be adjusted based on the size selected. Our sizing chart is based on a mild to moderate compression and can be used as a guideline if more or less compression is desired.

 *Choosing the Right Size

Size is based on measurement #2, which is the circumference of the chest. Please use the table below to select the best size for your dog.

Specifications

Surgi-Sox products are made from unique 4-way stretch material that is highly breathable.  The material is plated to prevent sticking to wounds and is anti-microbial.  The material can be cut to accommodate PEG tubes, etc. and will not unravel or fray.  The seams are worn on the outside of the garment to provide a smooth interface for the area of coverage.  These products are machine washable and will not lose their integrity or anti-microbial properties.
