An improved method for restraining rabbits for examination of the eye.
Rabbits are strapped to a specially shaped platform with their legs dangling over the sides. This system of restraint allows freer access to the eyes for examination than other methods and prevents the animal from injuring itself by kicking. The animals appear to be quite relaxed and show no signs of harm on release.
