MOUTHPIECE

It is a method used in long-nosed dogs in order to prevent the patient from reaching the wound. In this context, the muzzling of the mouth, placement of a mouthpiece, or the restriction of mobility of the patient’s head by providing a very short connection can also be regarded. However, the patient cannot eat and drink water while the mouth is muzzled. Additionally, the patient requires a caretaker or a sitter throughout the recovery period. In this method, the sitter should watch the patient throughout the feeding period. It is quite hard to use this equipment in aggressive and wild patients.
