Animal grooming wagons are presented including: a base having a substantially planar top surface and forming a rectangular shape, where the base includes: a pair of end wall receiving slots each positioned along opposite end portions of the base; a pair of side wall receiving slots each positioned along opposite side portions of the base; removable inserts positioned along the top surface of the base; a front steerable wheeled axle positioned along the front-end portion of the base; a rear wheeled axle positioned along the rear-end portion of the base; a steering bar for steering the front steerable wheeled axle; and an anchor point positioned centrally along the top surface of the base.

A system may provide for delivering a sequence of one or more soaking sprays at a station where an animal is present. The station may include a pressurized pipe supplying a liquid for the soaking spray, a valve and nozzle coupled to the pipe, and a control circuit coupled to the valve. The control circuit may be operable to determine the sequence of the soaking spray using a signal from an animal sensor that is configured to detect the presence of the animal at the station. The system may include an environmental sensor providing at least one signal to the control circuit. The signal from the environmental sensor may be used by the control circuit to determine the sequence for the soaking spray.

An insufflation apparatus and methods for using same are disclosed. The apparatus is equipped with an interactive system for administering reproducible intratracheal aerosols in a consistent automated manner. The insufflation system is useful, in particular for use with experimental animals, including mice and rats and also for treating small animals via the pulmonary route in veterinary medicinal practice.

A portable pet washing table. The table includes a plurality of drain holes configured to allow water and particulates to drain. Legs are attached to an underside of the tabletop, such that the legs are in a vertical position relative to the tabletop. High friction footpads are attached to each of the legs. A restraint arm is attached to the table so that the arm extends upwardly above the tabletop. A restraint is attached to the end of the restraint arm on the opposite end than that which is attached to the table, wherein the restraint is configured to secure an animal to the restraint arm. The restraint is a self-tightening noose configuration.

An animal treatment and handling device and method includes a fabric bag sized and shaped to receive the animal's torso and legs therein, with dorsal and ventral surfaces extending longitudinally from an anterior to a posterior end. The bag includes an adjustable collar at the anterior end, and a first zipper extending along the dorsal surface from an anterior end portion to a posterior end portion. An integral, elongated outer wrap extends transversely with a length sufficient to be wrapped around the bag and the animal therein to impart a uniform, calming pressure to the animal's thorax. A plurality of alternately openable and closable doors provide physician access to the animal through the bag and through the outer wrap.

This invention relates in general to a confining and restraining apparatus for livestock to facilitate their handling. The apparatus has an animal receiving stall having a frame, a base and a means for rotatably mounting the frame on the base. The animal receiving stall has opposed, entrance and exit openings, an entrance gate assembly is located at the entrance opening and fixed to one end of the base. The exit gate assembly is located at the exit opening and attached at one end of the frame, the exit gate assembly having a pair of stanchions which are adapted to capture a neck of an animal therebetween. The means for rotatably mounting the frame to the base allows rotation of the frame in both clockwise and counter clockwise directions around a vertical axis to position an animal in a selected treatment position.
