An animal mask (110) for removable fitment to the appropriate portion of the head of an animal (40, 50) such as the front of the head or over one nostril for the effective delivery of drugs or medicaments, for pulmonary or nasal absorption. The rings (Ri) of the mask (110) are nestable, forming a succession of monotonically decreasing sized telescopable rings (Ri) from a larger ring to a smallest ring to form a relatively flexible skirt (Si). An animal interface adapter (30) extends from the largest ring (Ri) and is adapted to establish a substantial seal between the animal interface adapter (30) and the face of an animal (40, 50). The animal mask (110) is collapsibl e to permit use in a full or partially open state, and to permit easy and convenient transport in a collapsed or closed state.
