  • Patent number: 6446579
    Abstract: An animal restraining device which includes a rigid, cylindrically-shaped, hollow tube open at both ends and having a longitudinal slit from one end to the other end. The device also includes a base and a tab. The tube is attached to the base to keep it stationary. The tab is attached at one end of the tube and provides a surface for placing the tail of an animal. The animal may be placed in the tube backwards, with its tail in the slit, and backed in toward the tab. The tube is sized to admit the animal without allowing excess space for movement. This invention is useful for conveniently and efficiently restraining an animal that is to be given a dose of medicine or the like, particularly when an injection must be administered to the animal.
