Trach Tube - YorkieTalk.com Forums

Buddy is going to have a puppy tooth pulled, when he does the vet will use anesthesia which I am fine with. But she will be using a trach tube because she does when ever any dog is put under anesthesia. Which given what I have read about collapsed trachea's freaks me out a little bit.
Thoughts??

All dogs under anesthesia should be intubated.
It holds the air way open and vomit can't really go into the lungs that way.
It is necessary in my opinion.

That is a very good point, it just seems so extreme for pulling a little puppy tooth.

You wouldn't want your dog put under anesthesia without it.

I think more than anything I just worry about the poor little guy, even though I do trust the vet. If that darn tooth would fall out on its own we would not have to worry about it but it does not seem to want too.

it is called an endotracheal tube and that would be a good idea, protect the airway no different with people, I work in a hospital
