Happy 2025!
To celebrate we are starting our yearly holter testing!
What is a holter?
“A Holter monitor is a portable device that monitors a patient's heart activity for at least 24 hours. It's a type of ambulatory electrocardiography device that records every heartbeat and can provide information on the patient's average, minimum, and maximum heart rate. Holter monitors are used to detect irregular heartbeats, also known as arrhythmias” -wikipedia
Once 24 hours has passed we will send this off to be analyzed and a report returned. This is to ensure our dog’s hearts are healthy and normal. We do this at least once a year.
Khane is first, he got his LEDs hooked up under a protection vest and then the monitor goes in the handy vest pocket. It’s so nice to have technology that allows us to do this.
