| 20090188443 | VETERINARY MEDICAL TUBING REMOVAL DETERRENT TECHNOLOGY - An apparatus and method for discouraging or deterring animals from removing or attempting to remove veterinary medical lines which are attached to them or otherwise located in their immediate vicinity. The apparatus includes a tube body, two electrical conductors connected to the tube body in a spiral, wrapped configuration, and a battery power source. The tube is constructed of a non-conductive material and may be of varying diameter and length. The conductors are disposed so that they may be contacted on the outside of the tube body, and upon contact with the animal's tongue or saliva, an electrical circuit is completed through the tongue, conductors and power source, thereby delivering an electrical impulse through the sensitive tissues of the animal. The low voltage electrical shock is harmless to the animal but is unpleasant, thus the animal does not attempt to remove the intravenous tube and medicating proceeds as normal. | 07-30-2009 |

The flexible circuit is preferably attached in a spiral fashion to present an alternating set of conductors and may preferably be used atop a bandage. The applied shock is only external to the bandage and will thus be localized to the animals sense organs on touch and will avoid any possibility of current and voltage coursing through other parts of the animal's body. | 11-05-2009 |
| 20100186683 | CONFORMABLE AND REUSABLE LICK DETERRENT - A lick deterrent device to deter animals from biting or chewing.

A rear restraining member is coupled to opposite sides of the mandible mask and adapted to extend around the neck of the animal. The rear restraining member and the front restraining remember are adapted to fit such that the device is substantially fitted to the animal's head whereby the animal cannot contact its mouth with an afflicted area of its body. | 10-30-2008 |
| 20100175636 | Quick-release animals muzzle - An animal muzzle has a retention strap, an interlock member attached to a first end portion of the retention strap, and a muzzle body attached to a second end portion of the retention strap. The muzzle body includes two longitudinally extending edge portions and an interlock structure adjacent each of the edge portions. The interlock structures are configured for having the interlock member simultaneously engaged therewith. The interlock structures are longitudinally offset from each other such that they are longitudinally adjacent to each other in a manner allowing the interlock member to be slideable engaged therewith when the muzzle body is in a snout-encompassing configuration. The muzzle body is maintained in the snout-encompassing configuration when the interlock member is engaged with the interlock structures. The muzzle body automatically transitions to a non-constraining configuration when the interlock member is disengaged from the interlock structures. | 07-15-2010 |
