| Wheezing following dental Rico had his dental. I am sooo mad at the vet. They promised that they only use a mask. However, they said that since they had to remove several teeth, that they had to intubate him for safety. They gave him Propofol for pre and isoflurane for the anestetic. They called and told me he was doing great. However, when I picked him up (we just got home), he has a wheezy sound to his breathing. They gave him some sort of liquid steroid to help and sent us home. The told us that it is normal due to a scratched throat. If anyone has any knowledge or any suggestions, please advise. Prior to this, his trach was just fine. Thank you, Rico and his very worried mommy, Anna |

| what size tube did they use the one for cats or ferrets? The tube size is key - it can happen when tubed as that is a risk but just make sure they used the tiniest tube as i always ask for that and make sure they have the small tubes - we use a board certified dentist for dentals |

| Thank you for the reply. I will def ask them tomorrow. He seems to be doing better. He is very sleepy. I was just looking over the bill and it seems that they had given him something called buprenorphine in an injection during surgery. I looked up a little about it and according to one site it says that it is one that is safest but also with the most side effects. (medications). Good thing is that he is doing better and ate some light dinner, drank some water. The wheezy sound is better. I just hope that they didn't damage his trach. Does anyone know if it is common to use intubation vs mask for dentals? |

| Yes, intubation is a good idea when using gas anesthesia. It sounds like they did everything right. Coughing is normal after intubation.
