An animal treatment/confinement device is described, with apparatus to aid in the provision of medications, fluids or other supportive care therapy to the animal. The device includes a fluid container support used to support a fluid container, or a syringe cradle used to support a syringe, or both. The device includes a housing sized to receive an animal, and to confine the animal during the therapeutic treatment. The device may also include two top panels hingedly coupled to the housing, which open to allow the animal to be placed into the housing, and which close independently to cover a portion of the top opening. The top panels may be secured by clasps to hinder the animal's escape. In one embodiment, the top opening is not fully covered when both top panels are closed, allowing the animal's handler to have access to the animal.
