"amy" wrote in message om... Is in normal for a cats heartbeat to quicken upon inspiration? Yes.... Inspiration causes heart rate to speed up because vagal tone decreases -- during expiration vagal tone increases and the heart rate slows down. But I don't think you can detect the change by feel or auscultation... at least I can't without an ECG -- and I have an electronic stethoscope. Phil |

"PawsForThought" wrote in message ... The normal range for a cat is 110-130 beats/minute. A cat's pulse can be taken along the femoral artery, the inner thigh, or under the arm. The femoral artery or the inner thigh, huh? LOL! Which artery do you think is palpatated in the inner thigh....? Where do you think the femoral artery is - in the neck? The femoral artery is in the inner thigh - that's the artery that's palpitated when monitoring heart rate. Feline anatomy isn't your strong suit, either.... http://www.maxshouse.com/PreventativeHealth.htm http://www.maxshouse.com/PreventHeal...king_pulse.jpg |

Karen haha, but it does have another meaning: 2 : the act of drawing in; specifically : the drawing of air into the lungs Candace (take the litter out before replying by e-mail) I know. But I couldn't resist. Karen And they do get inspired! This morning, Buddha felt moved to charge Cheeky like a bull and Cheeks, taken by surprise, leapt straight up in the air, landed on the kitchen table, and went flying because it was covered with slick Christmas catalogs! Cheeks gave me a hilarious look as she whizzed by! |
