Guest LolasMom Posted March 18, 2008 Share Posted March 18, 2008 (edited) My new boy Freddy had his first vet visit since his arrival on Thursday; just a routine check. His heart rate is 29!! My other grey's is 52. I looked on Dr Stacks site as well as OSU but am a bit confused. Those in the know...is this normal in a 2 year old straight off the farm? Thanks for any input.

ahicks51 Posted March 18, 2008 Share Posted March 18, 2008 Straight off the farm? That's the key. The cardio training he's had is world-class. The stronger the heart, the fewer the contractions it requires to fulfill its obligations, so to speak. I have a foster fresh off the farm, and I should go check him, but I'm sure it'd be under 40 when calm.

scullysmum Posted March 18, 2008 Share Posted March 18, 2008 My bridgekid Mulder's resting heart rate was 30, he never raced and was never race fit....we lost him to congestive heart failure at 8 years old. I have no idea whether there was any connection, vets never said he had anything wrong with his heart until the day he was pts(they misdiagnosed his CHF as kennel cough). I will let you make of it what you will. Current girl Sadi's heart rate is in the 40's.

Guest LolasMom Posted March 18, 2008 Share Posted March 18, 2008 Straight off the farm? That's the key. Yes, straight from the farm. He didn't qualify to race but I assume he had just finished schooling. My bridgekid Mulder's resting heart rate was 30, he never raced and was never race fit....we lost him to congestive heart failure at 8 years old. I'm so sorry, that seems far to young. Thanks so much for the info. and I think I'll do some further checking. I can be a bit of a Nervous Nelly at times. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
