Pet Resting Respiratory Rate Abnormal Detection Analysis

Problem

Early cardiopulmonary issues in pets can show up as elevated resting respiratory rate or irregular rhythm, but owners often lack continuous, non-contact baseline reference. This skill analyzes a pet at rest—sleeping or lying still—by detecting thoracic and abdominal motion from a fixed camera, estimating breaths-per-minute, and comparing the value against species, weight, age, and breed-specific resting baselines.

How It Works

• Input constraints: supports mp4, avi, and mov videos up to 10MB; a clip of at least 60 seconds is recommended, and the pet should be sleeping or lying still for at least 1 minute.
• Processing path: the skill uses scripts/smyx_respiratory_rate_abnormal_detect_analysis.py to call an API with local files or public URLs; the API service downloads network resources automatically.
• Decision logic: it compares resting respiratory rate using species, body size, age, and brachycephalic-breed differences, then classifies results as normal, mildly elevated, elevated, or severely abnormal.
• Report output: historical report lists can extract reportImageUrl and render a Markdown table with report name, pet type, analysis time, and a report link.

Boundaries

The output is for wellness observation only and is not a medical diagnosis or treatment recommendation. Active states, brief breathing, camera occlusion, or non-resting conditions can make results unstable. Older pets, brachycephalic dogs and cats, pets with prior cardiac history, or overweight individuals should be evaluated with a veterinarian.
