Yes normally (per the last convo with my vet) they do intubate every dog that comes in for surgery. You need to always talk to your vet about using the smallest trach tube they can. I have asked my vet twice if he couldn't just mask her down and he gave me 2 different answers.
I am going to call my former vet at home who is a friend of mine and ask him his opinions on this tho. I was told by my breeder to have them masked down but I am going to ask her about it again.
Maybe I just misunderstood what that meant. |
