Holter Test

[GennyB]

Btw, does anyone know if ecollars are bad when wearing their holter?

We were always told DO NOT use an e collar or allow the moniter to get wet. So no swimming or out in he rain. Otherwise life as normal and keep a detailed diary.

That is what I was thinking, so I am glad I didn't use it. Thank you for the answer!

I see I can also rent one from DRM (Doberman Rescue Minnesota) for $50 including the vest so that might be the route we go.

Message Melissa. Her puppy owners get to use hers at no cost. Perk of going with a reputable breeder.

Oh wow that's good to know! Thanks for the info.

I just don't know if she ships it or not so that might be the only drawback. $50 is pretty good for renting!

Those are my thoughts too and it really wouldn't pay over $1000 to buy one when you consider the extra cost of the vest.

Shes doing good so far. Everything is staying on even after her afternoon trot condition work around the property, some weaves and sprinting for fetch! Her breeder includes a muzzle in the kit because Ripleys dad likes to pull off his vest lol. So all week we had been getting her used to the muzzle so when Im outside the house she can wear it without us needing to worry about the equipment. You can tell shes not thrilled about the muzzle but tolerant. She tried to play with her ball with it on too

Btw, does anyone know if ecollars are bad when wearing their holter? I put hers on but left the collars power off just in case actually tapping her with it would be an issue.

I’m late to the party but I just got my boy’s Holter done this week and the cardiologist told us to NOT use his ecollar during the 24hr monitoring period. My assumption is that even on a low setting the stim could raise their heart rate a bit for a second which could get confusing to read. So we just left his off completely for the day!

Thanks for the official word from a cardiologist! I never used mine but that's good to know.

That's good to know. I even wondered that when our past dog had arrhythmia and we had to try to keep her calm. We didn't use it on her after she was diagnosed but I didn't know if it would make a difference or not.
