@hamsterpocket: This little friend came for his neuter recheck today and reminded me I had this video of him waking up after I neutered him! A “perfect” display of how many brachycephalic (short faced) breeds need extra care for anesthesia. Most dogs will have their ET tube removed as soon as their swallowing reflex returns during recovery from anesthesia because it is very uncomfortable and they’ll start trying to take it out themselves or biting it before they’re even awake. But brachy breeds often will fully recover with the tube still in because it’s the best they’ve ever breathed before!
He’s confused about what to do with all the oxygen!!

I’m a respiratory therapist who intubates humans and it always cracks me up to see animals tubed. I also have a slightly brachy breed. She’s part bull dog and part boxer and snores like a grown man that needs CPAP

I had a female frenchie that was legit walking around with her tube in after her spay for about 60 seconds before deciding to swallow and cough😅

Why is extubating one of the scariest parts of anesthesia 😅

We had an English out of anesthesia and recovering with one for 2 hours the other day. The newer techs were eager to pull it and didn’t understand why I was adamant about leaving it. I told them I basically wanted her up walking around with it as long as she was tolerating it lol

I had a Frenchie intubated for over 20 mins fully okay with his ET tube still in. This is huge for Vet nurses to be away and NEVER pull that tube too soon! 🙏

This is so important since you look at them wrong and they will regurge. If you pull a tube on a frenchie and their mentation isn’t this then I will respectfully say you are doing it wrong

it's because he can't feel it in rather than a conscious decision of being the best feeling ever

Surely if that was the case you’d recommend boas surgery to the owners?

My frenchies never keep the tube that long and even bite after a while even though I use lido iv. Do you spray them with lido?

We did a soft palate correction and stenotic nares repair on a bulldog and when she woke up she wouldn’t give up that tube for about 30 minutes 😂 she was breathing better than she ever has
