After intubation, your dog may have a raspy bark or develop a small cough. This is a normal side effect of intubation and, if minimal, should not be cause for alarm. The intubation tube often mildly irritates your dog’s throat and airways which causes the cough.
@@PetManiaOfficial I guess I need to clarify--shortly after all my 3 poms got spayed and neutered, they all had the cough-suggesting a tracheal collapse. They all had harnesses when being walked. Later in their life, all 3 had dental cleanings from the same vet, and the cough on all three got worse. Is it possible the vet himself caused the tracheal collapse?
@@lisaloobner3940 We are sorry to hear that! Endotracheal intubation can cause the trachea to become inflamed, but should not cause injury to the trachea that would cause tracheal collapse. Inflammation secondary to intubation can cause occasional coughing and it usually subsides in several days. If tracheal collapse existed prior to the intubation, any inflammation could make the symptoms of collapse worse for a few days.

Can coughing be caused by improper intubation by a vet?

All three poms have crossed the rainbow bridge, so there will be no recourse on the vet.
