Zusammenfassung:A protective shield having a tubular shape is used for protecting a wound on a limb of an animal. The protective shield includes a first sleeve half, a second sleeve half, and a hinge connecting the first and second sleeve halves for enabling the protective shield to move between open and closed positions. A first splint overlies the inner surface of said first sleeve half, and a first splint attachment strip is secured to the inner surface of the first sleeve half and extends between upper and lower ends of the first sleeve half. The first splint attachment strip has a plurality of splint mounting positions provided thereon for enabling the first splint to be secured to the first sleeve half at different locations between the upper and lower ends of the first sleeve half. A second splint overlies the inner surface of the second sleeve half, and a second splint attachment strip is secured to the inner surface of the second sleeve half and extends between upper and lower ends of the second sleeve half. The second splint attachment strip has a plurality of splint mounting positions provided thereon for enabling the second splint to be secured to the second sleeve half at different locations between the upper and lower ends of the second sleeve half.
