👉 Veterinary sounds can encompass a wide range of noises from the normal breathing and heartbeats of animals, to more specific symptoms indicating illness or injury; for example, coughing, wheezing, meowing, growling, and grunting may all be notable in different species. A vet might also listen for the characteristic "moo" or "burp" sounds emitted by cattle or other ruminants, as well as more unusual sounds that could suggest pain or distress like spasms or panting.
