What is a normal pulse ox for a dog?
Normal pulse oximeter readings (SpO
2
) in anesthetized dogs and cats breathing 100% oxygen should be
98% to 100%
. Normal PaO
2
in the anesthetized dog and cat breathing 100% oxygen should be greater than 200 mm Hg and can be as high as 650 mm Hg. A SpO
2
of 90% corresponds to a PaO
2
of 60 mm Hg, which indicates hypoxemia.
