TEMPERATURE OF SHEEP AND GOATS.—In these animals the greatest variation in temperature occurs, viz.: 100.9° to 105.8° F. In the majority of cases the temperature probably will be between 103.6° and 104.4° F. The cause of this variation is unknown. TEMPERATURE OF SWINE.—The average temperature is 103.3° F., varying from 100.9° to 105.4° F. TEMPERATURE OF THE DOG.—The dog is subject to important variations depending on the external temperature; it varies from 99.5° to 101.7° F., although in some localities it is as high as 100.9° to 101.3° F. Feeding will increase the temperature, and it is also higher towards evening. PULSE. PULSE FEELING.—Pulse are usually taken at the lower jaw; its character there being better marked than at other convenient situations. The artery may be felt underneath the lower jaw, just in front of the fleshy part of the cheek. On passing the fingers of the hand over the spot, two vessels can be distinguished lying closely together; one, the duct which conveys saliva from the parotid gland into the mouth; the other, the artery which supplies the face with blood. The middle finger should be applied so as to gently press the artery against the inner surface of the bone. The ball of the thumb should not be placed on the outside of the jaw, lest the operator might mistake the pulsation of the artery of his thumb for that of the patient’s artery. Very frequently the indication of the artery of the fore-arm is the one adopted. This vessel is on the inner side of the fore-arm, and may be felt by inserting the hand, from the front, between the breast and fore-arm, and feeling for the slightly prominent head of the bone just below the elbow joint. The pulse can be felt at other parts of the body, but those mentioned are more practical.
