Does anyone know if this stethoscope is adequate for small animal veterinary medicine?

I think it would be....I've used it on infants so I would think it will be fine. Just be aware that the frequencies you want to hear are dependent on the amount of pressure you use when placing diaphragm on patient (human or animal)

I would answer no! But I have and used it on small animals ie; my two Guinea Pigs. The returns are easy, I believe, don't work...return it.

Absolutely! This was recommended to me by a friend who works in an animal hospital & is the very reason I ordered the one for large dogs.

I think it works pretty well (I have no idea where to point the instrument in animals ....). But I don´t know if a very low outside temperature make an error in the meassure

I used it on my 12kg miniature schnauzer and it worked well - only complain is the bulkiness. Especially the strap at the front shoulder, it is quite thick and broad and it does seem to press against the throat whenever my dog gets very excited - check out from other bulldog owner whether this is an issue as bulldog has a large neck (if not wrong). The harness is really well-make but slightly cost so if you can, try to get a fitting in a pet shop if the shop allow or make sure there is free return without having to pay for return postage. Hope the above answer helps

I don't think it is a good option for you. I used it on my border collie who does a lot of the low barking. It lets the dog bark once or twice before correcting them and as a result, my dog didn't actually learn anything from the device. I actually plan on trying either the dogtra or sport dog bark collar. I've seen them used and they are a lot more accurate in their corrections and can learn from the dog and choose the appropriate correction. This collar is pretty low tech in that department. Good luck and remember, you have 30 days to return it if you aren't happy!

Yes! I questioned the same thing when I received it then after looking at multiple other stethoscopes of nurses and doctors theirs had one too...so I believe so :)

We used them on 50 animals per day in our clinic. Accuracy was good. As others have said, don't touch the skin, just point it close.My biggest problem was that the plastic plunger behind the center button broke after a while, rendering the instrument useless. But I doubt you will give it the volume of use we did.

Only if it is smaller than the head of a horse. Otherwise, you should probably seek medical care, anyway.

I would doubt it. It's just a good household cleaner. You should see your vet.

Not sure if it would be considered light weight technically. I had one previously but lost it and I got another one off Amazon because it is a great stethoscope and to me it is light weight . Carrying it around on your neck or pocket won't be an issue. Hope this helps!

I would not recommed it for a really big dog but for a med-small dog or cats it works great for us!

I had a Jack Russell and I used the small one for a dog, she had asthma but it extended her life about another 3-4 years.............

It is not a cardiac scope but I am able to hear heart sounds wonderfully and irregular heart beats. I would not see why you would not be able to hear a murmur.
