Abstract

AbstractA 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.
