NOTE: If your farm animal's limb measurements are not within our ranges, please contact us at care@aocpet.com to discuss options.
The type of cast that will be required for us to make your farm animal's custom prosthetic will depend on the animal and their residual/remaining limb shape. Our fabricators will determine what type of cast is needed and we will send you specific instructions with your casting kit.
MY CASTING DIDN'T GO WELL
CARE:
- Use light soapy water or antibacterial wipes to clean the plastic shell and non-porous liner of the prosthetic.
- Hand-wash pads as needed and let them air dry.
- Remove any hair or dirt from the hook and loop straps with a wire brush, gently brushing in one direction on the hook side only
USE
- It is highly recommended that you follow the break-in period protocol for your farm animal. This helps to prevent irritation and allows your farm animal to become comfortable when wearing their prosthetic. Failure to follow the break-in period could result in further injury to your pet.
- Your farm animal may wear their prosthetic whenever they are active. Custom Farm Animal prosthetics are waterproof and therefore can be used in the water, such as for hydrotherapy sessions.
- We recommend that you remove your farm animal's prosthetic when they are not active for extended periods of time. This allows their leg to relax, prevents irritation, and allows their skin breathe.
- Ideally, the prosthetic should not be worn for more than 14 hours a day as this could cause irritation. However, if your veterinarian recommends that your farm animal wear the prosthetic for more than 14 hours a day then you may do so but only with frequent, thorough leg and prosthetic examinations. Please check your pet's leg and prosthetic at least 2-3 times in a 24 hour period after the initial break-in period is complete.
- Please ensure your pet is up-to-date on core vaccines to minimize the risk of infection that may arise from any associated irritation or hot spot caused during the initial break-in period for this device.
BREAK-IN PERIOD
Similarly to breaking in a new pair of shoes, the Custom Farm Animal Prosthetic should initially be worn in short increments as your pet builds up a tolerance to the device. For best results, place the prosthetic on your pet for only half an hour the first day. You can typically increase this time by a further half hour each subsequent day. You can facilitate this process by positively reinforcing and rewarding your pet for wearing the prosthetic. Please keep in mind that the break-in period and time of each increment will depend on your pet's diagnosis and overall acceptance of the prosthetic.
Please note that this break-in period is highly recommended but not required if your veterinarian recommends otherwise for the health of your farm animal. If you do not follow our recommended break-in period, we require that you check your pet's skin and prosthetic frequently and thoroughly, at least 6 times per day in a 24 hour period for the first two weeks. Once your farm animal has successfully completed the break-in period without irritation occurring, we recommend that you check your pet's skin and prosthetic 2-3 times a day in a 24 hour period.
If there is any irritation or skin breakdown, discontinue use of the prosthetic for one full day. If irritation continues, contact us at care@a
