Re: [RC] Frank's comments - Sisu West Ranch"...Fatigue will cause the heart to beat more shallowly, weakly, and with less blood output, ..." This is part of the reason why it is a good idea to make sure that at some point (say CRI) it is a good idea for a vet to listen. As a PR volunteer, I have heard this difference. A front runner can have a 68 pulse that is BOOM BOOM BOOM., while a fatigued back of the packer is 68 and tap, tap, tap. In most cases an appropriate application of water and the 68 of the front runner turns to a 60 or 56 BOOM, BOOM, BOOM in a couple of minutes, but the tap, tap, tap can stay high for quite awhile. My point is this information is hard to quantify and can only be part of the clinical impression if a vet hears it.
