DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS The feeding / medication mask according to the present invention will be specifically described below based on the embodiments shown in the drawings. FIG. 1 shows an embodiment of a feeding / medication auxiliary tool according to the present invention. FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a state in which the animal is attached to an animal, FIG. 2 is a longitudinal side view thereof, and FIG. 3 is a transverse plan view.

In the figure, reference numeral 1 denotes a mask main body, which is a funnel-shaped member made of leather or cloth in this embodiment, and is a pair of fixing bands for holding the mask main body 1 in a state of being attached to the front of the mouth of an animal. 2.2 is provided. The fixing band 2 is also made of leather or cloth in this embodiment,
One end of each band 2 is attached to the mask body 1 by adhesion or the like, and male and female hook-and-loop fasteners 3 that engage with each other on the free end side.
Is provided. The material of the mask body 1 and the fixing band 2 is not limited to the above leather or cloth, but may be plastic, net, or any other suitable material. Reference numeral 4 in the drawing denotes a breathing hole provided in the mask body 1.

A tubular member 5 for inserting a catheter tube is provided through the central portion of the mask body 1 and is integrally fixed to the mask body 1 with an adhesive material or an adhesive tape. As the tubular member 5, at least a hard one that is not deformed or damaged even if the animal to which it is attached bites with teeth is used, and its material is synthetic resin, metal, or other appropriate material. Alternatively, the tubular member 5 and the mask body 1 may be integrally formed of synthetic resin or the like. Further, the length of the cylindrical member 5 on the mounting surface side is such that at least in a state of being mounted on an animal A such as a cat as shown in FIG. It is assumed to be formed, and the protruding length on the outer surface side of the tubular member 5 is appropriate.

In the above-mentioned structure, when feeding liquid A to a animal A such as a cat or a dog or administering a drug, as shown in FIG. The cylindrical member 5 provided on the mask body 1 is inserted into the oral cavity between the upper and lower teeth t of the animal A, and the mask body 1 is applied to the front of the mouth of the animal.
As shown in (1), the bands 2 and 2 are attached to the back of the head of the animal, and the female and male surface fasteners 3 and 3 are engaged and fixed. Then, as shown in FIG. 2, a flexible catheter tube C is inserted from the outside of the mask body 1 into the tubular member 5 to be inserted into the esophagus or stomach, and the catheter tube C
An injector S or the like is connected to an end portion on the near side to administer liquid food or medicine.

In this case, since the tubular member 5 is integrally fixed to the mask body 1, when the mask body 1 is mounted on the front surface of the mouth of the animal, the tubular member 5 is attached to the mouth of the animal. It can be easily loaded at the same time and can be easily inserted into the mouth by passing the catheter tube C through the tubular member 5. Moreover, the tubular member 5 allows the tube C
Is protected from being bitten directly and can be prevented from being damaged or broken.

In the above embodiment, the mask body 1 is formed in a funnel shape, but the shape and size thereof are appropriate, and can be appropriately changed according to the shape and size around the mouth of the animal to be worn. Further, the illustrated example is a male and female face fastener 3 as a means for holding the mask body 1 attached to the front of the mouth of an animal.
Although a pair of fixing bands 2 having 2 are used, for example, a rubber band or the like may be used, and the fixing band is not limited to the band, and any other band is possible.

[0012]

As described above, the feeding / medication mask according to the present invention has a cylindrical body for inserting a catheter tube through the mask body 1 which is detachably attached to the front of the mouth of an animal. Since the member 5 is integrally provided, the feeding / medication mask of the present invention is attached to the front of the mouth of an animal such as a cat or a dog to be fed or dosed, and the catheter tube is inserted into the tubular member 5. A liquid food or a drug can be administered through the tube, and at this time, the catheter tube C can be easily attached only by passing it through the tubular member 5, and the catheter tube C can be attached by the tubular member 5. There is an effect that C can be prevented from being bitten and damaged or broken.
