mrs tornsocks Posted July 27, 2009 Share Posted July 27, 2009 (edited) Archie's bpm seems high, just to the touch (ie when I put my hand on his chest). Vet has never mentioned anything and always put a stethoscope to his chest so I don't think it's an issue. Just wonder why they have quite a fast heartbeat or if it's dogs in general.

poodlefan Posted July 28, 2009 Share Posted July 28, 2009 What is his heart rate? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrs tornsocks Posted July 29, 2009 Author Share Posted July 29, 2009 (edited) What is his heart rate? ;) Well that was interesting ... did you ever try to take a puppy's heart-rate with your bare hand ? I tried to get him while he was asleep, of course he woke up and it was near impossible to tell his thumping tail on the ground versus his heartbeat. Anyway, I got 15 second's worth and it was approx 29 / 30 for that 15 secs which would give him approx 120-130 bpm, that's a real resting pulse. He weighs about 13 kgs.

HR for a dog that size would be between 100 and 140bpm - so sounds just fine! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jrm88 Posted July 31, 2009 Share Posted July 31, 2009 Dog's heart rates can vary so so much! I wouldnt worry at all 120-130 is perfectly normal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
