In both dogs, a mass obstructing the glottis was identified following induction of anaesthesia, rendering it impossible to visualize the airway with laryngoscope use. Oxygen supplementation by face mask was ineffective and hypoxaemia worsened during repeated attempts to secure the airway. To facilitate digital intubation, the operator's nondominant index finger was introduced into the mouth, displacing the mass to access the epiglottis and palpate the glottis. The endotracheal tube was then inserted into the trachea with digital guidance, resulting in successfully secured airways in both dogs. Digitally facilitated intubation has not been described in detail or studied in small animal practice, although the technique is performed in larger animal species and in human medicine.

Age and body weight ranged 5-6 months and 40-47 kg, respectively, between admissions. For the first anesthetic (day 1), after 4-6 hours of fasting (free access to water), the antelope was administered intramuscular medetomidine-vatinoxan (0.02 mg kg^-1), midazolam (0.3 mg kg^-1), ketamine (2 mg kg^-1) and butorphanol (0.2 mg kg^-1). Orotracheal intubation was performed 13 minutes after injection and followed by 45 minutes of sevoflurane (approximately 1% expired concentration; Fe'Sevo). Naloxone, atipamezole and flumazenil were administered to hasten recovery.
