Abstract
Pulse oximetry is an important non-invasive means of determining oxygen saturation in both animals and humans. However, it has not been standardized in small ruminants. Hence, the present study envisages standardization of pulse oximetry in goats. Briefly, 36 respiratory affected goats were evaluated against 36 healthy goats for pulse oximetry at different sites (Pinnae, lower lip and tip of the tail). The animals were resistant to allow the probes to be placed at lower lip. No reading was obtained at pinnae. However, satisfactory results were obtained at the tail. SpO2 was found to be significantly (p
