Whats a dogs normal respiration rate? [Reposted]
Marshall said in rec.pets.dogs.health:
Still hoping someone might have an answer... It's extremely variable from dog to dog. When I took a pet first aid course, it was suggested to make a note of such things (respiration and heart rates, pupil dilation, etc.) when your dog is healthy. So, unless it's an emergency, ask your vet the next time you see him. -- --Matt. Rocky's a Dog.

32 seems a little high, but she could have been dreaming or in a more active
sleep mode. Mine vary from about 12 (the VERY calm one) to about 24 breaths per minute. When I had a dog with congestive heart failure, 60 and over was in distress and they would be really happy with her under 40. Could just be normal variation. Janni "Marshall" wrote in message ...

I noticed that my little girl Sara ( 40#, mixed Shep/whippet, 10Y.O.) had a much slower rate of breathing, about 12 breaths per minute, as compared to my big girl KC (75#, mixed Lab/Shep, 9Y.O.) at around 32 Breaths per minute. Is this normal? -- Phil {remove 9 for mail} -------------------- http://NewsReader.Com/ -------------------- Usenet Newsgroup Service New Rate! $9.95/Month 50GB
