[quote user="Laurence Webb"]How are you using the the probe? The flat veterinary probe machine is quite expensive but the manufacturers make exactly the same machine but with a pen like probe for human use that is half the price (for foetal heart beat checking) Sorry for being thick but I don't see any reptile[/quote]

yeah I've seen the pen like probes on ebay for not very much. But it really needs to be a flat probe so that it can be laid over the heart during surgery in lizards and snakes and can fit in between the neck and front leg of tortoises.

Try Hillside Medical, range of sizes; much cheaper than Burtons [from memory]

I think our most recent replacements came from Burtons but I am sure I've seen them elsewhere.

[quote user="CatherineThomas"]Does anyone have a doppler machine they want to get rid of? like the kind that are used to measure blood pressure. One of the practices I work in has a digital blood pressure machine which is great for cats and dogs, but it means I don't have doppler to monitor my reptile patients with.[/quote]
