Don't worry about the tube - it is placed for the dog's good - it is a small very flexible tube that is easily inserted to help keep the dog's airway open during surgery and while he is asleep.
If you watch Animal Planet - ER Vet (or any of the vet shows) - you'll see them using this tube all the time. It shouldn't cause any problems at all.
PS: These "endotracheal tubes" are used whenever people have surgery too.
