Instructions

-
1
Locate your cat's lungs. On a cat, the lungs are located just before the bottom of the final rib.
-
2
Put the earpieces of the stethoscope in your ears. Be sure the room you're in is quiet so you can hear your cat's lungs accurately.
-
3
Place the head of the stethoscope on your cat's chest. The area toward the middle of your cat's chest is the best place to listen to the lungs.
-
4
Listen to several different areas besides the middle of the chest, including both sides and the neck area. If you hear any abnormal sound, including fluid, wheezing or a crackling sound, consult your veterinarian.
