Pulse can be taken, in cattle at the coccygeal artery (at the tail head), in horses at the facial artery, and in goats and sheep at the femoral artery. Often cows will show a jugular pulse (neck pulse) which can be seen on quiet observation from a distance. Examination of mucous membranes, for assessment of peripheral circulation, can be done with the digestive system examination.
