Recently, at some airway training, we were discussing difficult intubations. Apparently dogs are fairly easy to tube by straightening the throat and moving the tongue. The trachea is visible and easily approached. Heresay, of course. I've never done it. I do feel if need be I wouldn't hesitate to give 'er a shot.
I have never done a dog, but we did an intubation lab in medic class where we intubated kittens.

certainly can't hurt...
One of the medics I was riding with that day spent 5 years as a vet. assistant and was somehow able to start an IV on the dog.
