How will you examine respiration?

TECHNIQUE OF RECORDING RESPIRATION
  • Count the inspiration for a minute without touching the animal.
  • Inspiration – Check the thoracic lateral movements and abdominal bulging.
  • Allow time for the animal to adjust with the new environment.
  • Expiration – Check the falling of ribs and decrease in abdominal bulging.
  • Also look for the ventral exertion by lowering yourself to observe.
