Can you tell me...?

1. 38 degrees
2. 30-34 bpm - feel under the jaw
3. 14 breaths per minute - count number of times ribs move (only count either exhalations or inhalations, not both)

Did I pass? :D
 
1. 37.2 degrees I think (celsius) - but last took it years ago (feels ashamed)

No idea no.2 Know from humans it would vary with individuals and their fitness.

Really no idea no.3 - though I can identify if my guys are breathing too slow/fast for them, for an activitiy.

Awful really! Good thing the vet's easy to phone!
 
I don't know either of mines normal temps, but then I don't know mine either over 39 and I'd be worried but that is as far as it goes.

breaths per minute 8-16 or so, watch the flanks rise and fall and count

pulse somewhere in the late 30s, I take it in the jaw personally.

Any reason?

1. What your horse's normal temperature is?
2. What a normal pulse rate is, and how to take it?
3. What a normal respiration (breathing) rate is, and again how to take it?

S :D

Do i get a cookie for the right answer :)

pmsl ;)
 
For Pip:
38
36 when fit last year, was 42 2 years before less fit, has come in at halts anything up to 74 and has come in at 65 but not gone down within 10 mins, all normal for him. I'd probably use stethoscope ;) although jaw otherwise.
Breathing rate he stays pretty constant around 15, from the ribs.

All the others, bar the shetlands and sections As we have their restings written down along with their halt stats :)
