Tracey Posted August 27, 2010 Share Posted August 27, 2010 Chase is snoozing next to me. 9 breaths in a minute. We monitor his heart rate because of his heart condition and his heart rate is super low as well. He's just a mellow dog (well, when he's not beating me up to let him out or feed him ). 9 Wow! The lowest we have recorded Darcys was this morning and it was 13. Most of the time though it's 40+. When they monitored her every hour in the hospital, it was usually 55-60. But there is definately no fluid present in Darcys lungs, so we have to work out what is the 'norm' for her, so that we know if there is a problem. I'm monitoring her every two hours during the day at the mo I just checked Rufus, who now is sleeping on the couch near me. Also 9 breaths per minute. Evidently the stress level is very low around here. At least for the dogs, anyway. Quote ...............Chase (FTH Smooth Talker), Morgan (Cata), Reggie (Gable Caney), Rufus (Reward RJ).

Guest Hannah Posted August 28, 2010 Share Posted August 28, 2010 Holly 25kg (according to the vet too big to be medium but not big enough to be large ) 8 and a half ish - a few weeks older than Darcy resting but not asleep 18 breaths per minute deep sleep is very scary 1 (big) breath every 20 or so seconds, just long enough apart for me to be convinced she has stopped breathing altogether tried to take her heart rate but I can't hear it when I listen to her chest - too much breakfast digestion noises - and she won't stay still long enough for me to take her pulse Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bevd Posted August 30, 2010 Author Share Posted August 30, 2010 Active counts would be good too And now I'm moving into heart rates as well (resting to start with please) Please just say whether you are giving a resting breathing or resting heart rate report (although I suspect that even I will be able to tell the difference... LOL) Or maybe not Quote Deerhounds Darcy, Duffy, Grace & Wellington, Mutts Sprout & Buddy, Lurchers Ned & Jake plus Ella the Westie + cats.

greytpups Posted August 30, 2010 Share Posted August 30, 2010 Brooke - while sleeping 8 breaths/minute I checked it 3 times. Of course she's just 4 years old and still runs a lot, so I chalk it up to age and athleticism. Quote Jan with precious pups Emmy (Stormin J Flag) and Simon (Nitro Si) and Abbey Field.

My blog about grief The reality is that you will grieve forever. You will not get over the loss of a loved one; you will learn to live with it. You will rebuild yourself around the loss you have suffered. You will be whole again but you will never be the same. Nor should you be the same, nor would you want to. ― Elisabeth Kübler-Ross Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Tenderhearts Posted September 3, 2010 Share Posted September 3, 2010 Erm...Bev? Although I'd love to humor you and participate, I just got done moving my 22 year old back home, which puts me up to 6 dogs in the household, one of whom has been very naughty and will have to have the vet look at her tum-tum incision from this week's spay tomorrow. I'd give you my current breathing rate, which would make Darcy's look downright sloooooooow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
