Abstract
An attachment positionable on the top surface of a standard veternarian operating table for receiving an animal with ventral side down having rear legs hanging over a rear portion of the attachment and forelegs stretched outward on a front portion of the attachment. The attachment is formed of a unitary body member defined by a rear portion, a front portion, a side member disposed about the periphery of said attachment, and support legs disposed at each end of the body member for independently adjusting the attachment in the vertical direction with respect to the top surface of the operating table. The rear portion of the attachment is substantially concave in cross-section with the widest opening occurring at one end of the body member, whereas, the front portion is formed substantially of a triangularly shaped flat surface extending from a central portion of said body member to a maximum area at the second end.
