During a routine physical examination of an adult canine, which of the following findings would be considered within normal limits for a healthy adult dog?

Temperature of 103.5°F (39.7°C) Heart rate of 140 beats/min in a calm adult Labrador Pink mucous membranes with a capillary refill time (CRT) of 1.5 seconds Respiratory rate of 40 breaths/min at rest

Correct Answer:

Pink mucous membranes with a capillary refill time (CRT) of 1.5 seconds

Explanation:

Normal mucous membranes are pink, and a capillary refill time (CRT) of 1.5 seconds is within the normal range (typically 1-2 seconds). A temperature of 103.5°F is elevated, a heart rate of 140 beats/min is often at the higher end or above normal for a calm adult Labrador, and a respiratory rate of 40 breaths/min at rest is typically elevated. Normal temperature for dogs is generally 100.0-102.5°F (37.8-39.2°C), heart rate is typically 60-120 bpm, and resting respiratory rate is usually 10-30 breaths per minute.
