Many animals can indeed be intubated, similar to humans. However, this procedure requires specialized training and skill because sedation is necessary. While not all animals are candidates for intubation, this procedure may benefit certain patients with difficulty breathing or an obstructed airway. Additionally, animals should only be intubated when absolutely necessary since the procedure carries risks associated with it, such as tissue damage or infection. If you are concerned about your pet's breathing and think they may benefit from intubation, speak to your veterinarian for a proper assessment.
