Intubation is a serious medical procedure, and attempting it without proper training and equipment can be dangerous to the animal.
Here's why it's crucial to seek veterinary care:
* Correct placement is essential: Incorrect placement can lead to serious complications, including lung damage or even death.
* Signs of correct placement can be subtle: They require experience and knowledge to interpret accurately.
* Complications can arise: Even with proper technique, complications can occur.
If you suspect your dog needs intubation, please contact a veterinarian immediately. They can assess the situation, perform the procedure safely, and monitor your pet for any potential complications.
