| Heart rate is best obtained using a stethoscope, by feeling the artery under the base of the tail (caudal artery) or on the inside of the ear (medical auricular artery), or by putting a flat hand on the chest over the heart. The heart rate is usually 55-80 beats/minute although it will be higher... |
