I designed and printed a custom nose guard to help my dog with DLE

How wonderful! Also, please tell me you at least _considered_ naming it the "Snoot Boot…"

This is so awesome! I actually think, with a few tweaks this can be a really great protection against foxtails.

Foxtails are extremely lethal and can lead to thousands of dollars in vet bills. All current protections in the market are effectively a bag over your pet’s face, which as you can imagine, are not that popular with the pets.

I like that the creator is giving the STL away for free

Poor Billie’s snoot! Glad you are such a caring owner.

Please consider the nickname “Tycho Brahe” for her.

Makes me want to print one with a giant red nose and dress my dog up as Rudolph

It's the best thing i've read on HN lately! I'm so happy her snoot has fully recovered!

Let's Goooo! This awesome! Let's have more of this.

Billie is lucky to have such a dexterous owner!

This is the promise of tech and the hacker ethos that SV killed long ago.

Thank you.

This fantastic, thanks for sharing. So happy for you and Billie!

Billie is a good dog.

This is pretty awesome, regardless when it was originally done.

Great write-up. Cute dog.

I'm glad the nose recovered too!

cool. i wish okie had been diagnosed with DLE :(

Warning, pictures in the article might be unpleasant to see.

WHile this is cool, I can't imagine that this provides a universal fit. It seems like they did a lot to tailor it to their dog.
