I’m going to be passing along some vet advise from Dr Andrew Jones, author and creator of Veterinary Secrets Revealed.
Dr. Jones has more than a decade of experience and has his own veterinary practice.
Dr. Jones also has a great online vet site called ‘The Inner Circle’ where you can find some incredible information, answers to questions, a library and forum.
Now let’s hear from Dr. Andrew Jones!
Evaluation of blood pressure, treating kidney disease, treating anemia, plus how and what to put into a pet first aid kit.
Checking the pulse and evaluating blood pressure
Evaluate your pets’ blood pressure by palpating their pulse.
The best spot to do this is on the inside of the back leg (thigh). Place your three middle fingers across the middle of your pets inside thigh and apply moderate pressure. Here you are feeling the femoral artery. This is more difficult in small dogs and cats.
