I use the capnovet -10 on a daily basis and love it. It is a reasonably priced bit of kit, very durable and unlike most models can be used on very small patients.

Thanks rob for advice - that looks an excellent price for that unit - I doubt would get a cheap Chinese unit significantly cheaper.

"Vet"-specific" pulse oximeter maybe as the probe makes quite a difference - I'm not sure that there could be any major impediment to using a human version capnograph though - but like all things unless youve used it you really have no idea of downsides etc...

Not this model but we've had a multi-parameter Surgivet Advisor monitor for about 10 years which has been pretty bullet-proof and invaluable.

If buying second had human ones, make sure the settings (and alarms) and accessories are suitable/adjustable for animals - most human ones kick up a fuss at normal rabbit heart rates!

Problem with the cheap chinese units build quality and lack of anyone to service/fix them. So if you're happy with it being a disposable item...
