Re: Quick Fifi update


Just something I've wondered about .... how does a vet take a cat's blood pressure?

Re: Quick Fifi update


Don't know, because he too her 'out back' so a nurse could hold her. But they shaved her paw and I guess placed some kind of sock device with a sensor similar to our arm cuffs on her paw . . . maybe someone more medically-inclined can shed some light?

Re: Quick Fifi update


Here's an interesting video of how your cat's blood pressure is taken.

I can't see Cassie being as well behaved as this cat!

Re: Quick Fifi update


That's amazing - thanks so much for finding that video Mags! I can't imagine my Kizzy being as laid back as that cat either, but Pip might be!

I suppose I knew it had to be done almost in the same way as with humans but couldn't believe that a cat would be so co-operative!
