I am attempting to calculate TBSA in Sprague-Dawley rats based on the paper attached. I want to use Formula 3 (Vallois' formula), but they don't describe well the measurements that need to be taken. 

Does anyone have any experience using Vallois' formula? And can you give a description of the mouth-tail measurement? 

I am attempting to create a 15% scald burn, and so I need accurate TBSAs.

Thanks, 

Bonnie
