• consider environmental factors when taking rectal temperatures

Pulse Rate/Heart Rate• The pulse rate is taken by palpation of arteries• Heart rate and pulse rate are nor the same: heart rate refers
to the number of heart bests/minute (bpm); pulse rate refers to the number of palpable arterial pulse waves/minute
• In normal animals heart rate and pulse rate are equal• Arterial pulses may be palpated at several locations• Pulse deficit (heart rate ↑ pulse rate↓) • Pulse is described as strong, bounding, weak, thready, or
other non-specific terms

• Facial artery is the most convenient location where it courses over the ventral aspect of the mandible, rostral to the origin of the masseter muscle

Reparatory rate
The number of respirations/minute can be counted in several ways:
1. Using a stethoscope to listen to air movement in the trachea or chest
2. Using a hand to feel movement of air in and out of a nostril
3. Simply counting chest excursions (rise and fall of the thoracic wall)/minute
![Page 11: Insert the thermometer. 60 seconds](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062501/56816523550346895dd7a530/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Heart Auscultation • Horses are athletes: the heart of the average horse
may be as large as a basketball.• Auscultation may be done on the left or right side
of the chest, though most of the heart valves and sounds are heard best from the left side
• The most common cause of an irregular heart rhythm in the horse is the second degree atrioventricular (A-V) block
![Page 12: Insert the thermometer. 60 seconds](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062501/56816523550346895dd7a530/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Landmarks for the heart
• The horizontal marks indicate the level of the shoulder and elbow joints. The vertical mark indicates the caudal border of the triceps muscle.
![Page 13: Insert the thermometer. 60 seconds](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062501/56816523550346895dd7a530/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Auscultating the heart.
• A, Gently lift the triceps muscle away from the chest wall.
• B, Place stethoscope against the chest wall, deep to the triceps muscle.

Landmarks for the lung. Borders of the left lung field for auscultation
![Page 16: Insert the thermometer. 60 seconds](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062501/56816523550346895dd7a530/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Lung auscultation
• The stethoscope is placed in several locations within the lung field to listen to several breaths at each location

Abdominal Auscultation• A stethoscope is used to listen to abdominal sounds, which
are created by movements of the intestines• This commonly referred to as gastrointestinal motility or GI
motility
Landmarks for abdominal auscultation in the flank area are the point of the hip (tuber coxae) and the last rib.
![Page 19: Insert the thermometer. 60 seconds](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062501/56816523550346895dd7a530/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Abdominal Auscultation (cont’d)
• Should listen in each quadrant (4) for at least 1 minute each, on left and right side
• 0 = no motility• +1 = hypomotility• +2 = normal motility• +3 = hypermotility

Mucous membranes • Mucous membranes are tissues that have the ability
to make and secrete mucus.• Mucus membranes’ color is helpful for disease
diagnosis
• Cyanosis is bluish coloration- low oxygen of the blood• Brick red coloration indicates septicemia or shock or
both, colic, endotoxemia• Purple gum line indicates endotoxic shock • Yellowish coloration of the gum indicates icterus• Pale mucus indicates anemia

Hydration Status
• Skin turgor test– At the point of the shoulder– 1 second or less is normal– 1 second or more- >5%– >8 seconds: Severely
dehydrated• Capillary refill time
– Less than 2 seconds– Dehydration; shock 5 to 8

Neurological Examination• Confirm disease• Find where• More tests usually
needed
