[Jacob-list] thermometer

[linda]

One of the first things I do when a sheep looks "poorly" and I have no idea of why is to take 
its temperature.  Last week I saw BD digital thermometers on sale at Walmart ($7.94) and 
decided to pass this on to the list.  I bought one five years ago and it's great for sheep.  
It is plastic and flexible.  But the big deal is that it beeps every four seconds as long as 
it is getting a reading.  If it stops beeping, it has slipped out.  I don't know about you, 
but I'm getting too old to stand for 2 minutes bent over making sure a rectal thermometer is 
still installed in a short sheep while simultaneously holding on to the other end.  This one 
gives a series of rapid beeps when the reading is finished.
