It is a concern and people need to ask about the tube size the vet uses when putting them under - there is no problem in asking as there are even smaller tubes than the cat ones that can be used for the tinies as they use these in ferrets. Never ASSUME ya know what they say about ASSUME.
yes the tubing can cause irritation as it is stated any time you put a dog under. The dentist we use goes over risks of a dog going under and trachea is one thing they discuss before putting them under as they did with dd and demi. My demi and dd came out of anesthesia and did not hack once after going under nor did dex for plasma transfusion but i did ask with demi and dd and they assured me they have all sized tubes but this was a specialist.
People should not be afraid they should be educated though so they are comfortable and aware
The more videos the better for comparison and you can always do a search on youtube.com for things as well as that is helpful and posting videos and pics of your particular dog can also help others who have dealt with it like Linda be able to help you further |
How would she know the tube caused it? Everyone wants to blame someone when something happens.
