Does anyone use a pediatric digital *** pressure monitor machine on their
dog? I was told on the kidney newsgroup that this can be used on a dog's paw
pads. Where do you purchase one, and are they reliable?

Thanks!

There are 2 noninvasive ways to measure *** pressure in dogs.  An
oscillometric bp monitor automatically gives mean, systolic and diastolic
pressures but costs 3-4 thousand dollars.  The other method is to use a
doppler monitor ($600-700) to detect pulse and a traditional
sphygmanometer(sp?) to determine the systolic pressure.  Parks medical makes
a very sturdy and reliable doppler monitor   www.parksmed.com
