In veterinary use, a stubby bulb thermometer is commonly used to measure the body temperature of animals. The "stubby" design makes it easier to handle and more durable for use in a variety of animal species, especially when working with smaller or more active animals.
These thermometers are usually designed to be inserted into the animal's body, often through the rectum, for an accurate reading of the animal's internal temperature. The bulb at the end is typically filled with mercury or alcohol, and the short, sturdy design is useful in veterinary settings where precision and reliability are crucial.
Veterinarians use these thermometers to monitor animals’ health, as temperature can be a key indicator of health conditions. For example, fever could indicate infection, while a lower-than-normal temperature may suggest hypothermia.
Stubby bulb thermometers used in vet practices are often designed to be easy to clean, shock-resistant, and quick-responding, making them practical for various animals, including pets like dogs and cats or livestock.
