Measuring body temperature is still very much a component of any physical exam of a sick or ill animal patient. The use of glass mercury thermometers are quickly being phased out as hazardous materials. So replacing them has gone to digital hermometers designed and sized for human use. The challenge is human digital thermometers are undersized for adult large animals such as a 1200 Lb. (500kg) cow or horse.
