Does anyone know if this stethoscope is adequate for small animal veterinary medicine?

All stethoscopes can be used in veterinary medicine. You just have to consistently use it so you start being able to identify the different sounds. I've used several different stethoscopes in my career. All have goods and bads. The cardiac scopes are great for lower frequency sounds, such as heart beats, but not so great for higher frequency sounds like subtle lung and airway noises. Still, its how you use it. My buddy is a vet cardiologist. He's used a pediatric scope for years and is so used to the sounds he can hear nuances I will miss with fancier scopes. Hope this helps.

Only if you know... Other than price, this must lack features or the quality of higher priced ones?

I like this stethoscope. Anything you get with the littman name will be high quality, the difference from the higher priced models is that this is not cardiac specific. It is a general stethoscope. There is no loss of sound identification. You can still hear s1-s2, lung sounds, bruits, murmurs, bowel sounds, and the like.

Can this be used in pediatrics? Or is better to buy the classic?

The lightweight CAN be used in pediatrics but it's better to buy the classic simply because it has better acoustic performance. Here's a link to a comparison chart. http://www.allheart.com/m/littmann/a/littmann-stethoscope-comparison/Hope this helps!

Did yours come with the box wrapped in plastic? Mine came with the box partly opened, I thought there would a protective covering around the plastic.

Mine came in the box with a 1" plastic band around the box, not all that secure of packaging. When I called Littmann, the operator didn't know what the packaging entailed. But she did say that what I purchase off of Amazon is a third party purchase, so she has no way of knowing anything about the actual product I purchased. Then I called a local distributor and talked to them. I told him I purchased one and that it had the band around the box, but that the item did not have a plastic bag around it or any other packaging. He said it does not come wrapped inside the box, that it sits on a thin piece of black foam, and that's it. That's exactly how mine was packaged. His price is $24 higher than the Amazon price. And honestly, even if I bought it from him, I still wouldn't know if someone had previously purchased it and returned it anyway. I can't tell you how many times I've purchased items in stores to later discover that it had been used and returned. UGH! The bigger issue is it a counterfeit item. I would have no way of knowing authenticity unless I purchased it directly from the manufacturer. Next best thing would be an authorized distributor. I purchased this for home use, so I'm not going to worry about it too much. But, if I were a medical student, I'd be purchasing from an authorized distributor.

あまり良くない聴こえない。やはり元々使っているリットマンの金色のがとてもいいです。 10000円以上しないとダメなのかな…

I bought my Littmann stethoscope and I couldn’t be more satisfied. The sound quality is outstanding—clear, precise, and allows me to hear even the finest details during auscultation. It’s comfortable to use, lightweight, and has an elegant design. Without a doubt, it has enhanced my daily practice as a medical assistant and gives me more confidence in every patient encounter. I highly recommend it to any healthcare professional or student looking for quality and durability. I’m so happy with this purchase that I’m already planning to buy another Littmann model in the future.

It’s actually very light weight... firstly I thought it’s not original, but sound quality is equally good as of previous one... so it’s nice...
