Pulse oximetry as a handy tool for determining oxygen saturation in goats with respiratory illness: A brief study

Pulse oximetry is an important non-invasive means of determining oxygen saturation in both animals and humans. However, it has not been standardized small ruminants. Hence, the present study envisages standardization pulse goats. Briefly, 36 respiratory affected goats were evaluated against healthy for at different sites (Pinnae, lower lip tip tail). The resistant to allow probes be placed lip. No reading was obtained pinnae. satisfactory results tail. SpO2 found significantly (p
