Abstract
A 25‐week‐old Oriental shorthair cat was anaesthetised to perform computed tomography and bronchoscopy. During endotracheal intubation, a deciduous premolar was contacted with the laryngoscope blade, dislodged, and subsequently aspirated into the trachea. The tooth was removed via bronchoscopy, and the cat was recovered in the intensive care unit due to the development of laryngeal oedema. The risk factors for tooth dislodgement in the cat and proposed improvements in the immediate period after dislodgement are discussed in this report.
期刊介绍:
Vet Record Case Reports is an online resource that publishes articles in all fields of veterinary medicine and surgery so that veterinary professionals, researchers and others can easily find important information on both common and rare conditions. Articles may be about a single animal, herd, flock or other group of animals managed together. Common cases that present a diagnostic, ethical or management challenge, or that highlight aspects of mechanisms of injury, pharmacology or histopathology are deemed of particular educational value. All articles are peer reviewed and copy edited before publication.
