Side effects of stent surgery on tracheal collapse in dogs

Possible side effects of stenting for tracheal collapse in dogs include:

1. Postoperative cough: Dogs may have symptoms of cough after operation because the operation will cause irritation to the respiratory tract.

2. Shortness of breath: In a period of time after the operation, the dog may breathe faster than usual, which is usually a normal postoperative reaction.

3. Throat discomfort: After the operation, the dog may feel throat discomfort or pain, which is a normal postoperative reaction and can be relieved by giving appropriate painkillers and careful care.

4. Risk of infection: Like other operations, stent surgery for tracheal collapse in dogs also has certain risk of infection. If there are signs of infection after surgery, you need to seek medical attention in time.

5. Stent displacement or rejection: Although stent displacement or rejection is rare, it may still occur. If this happens, it may need to be re-operated and adjusted.

It should be noted that the recovery and side effects of each dog may be different. Before the operation, it is recommended to discuss the potential risks and recovery process with the veterinarian in detail in order to make full preparations for the operation. At the same time, we should closely observe the dog's condition after operation and follow the advice of the veterinarian to ensure that the dog gets adequate postoperative care and drug treatment.
