Abstract
Tracheal obstruction constituted a life-threatening emergency in a hybrid goose (Anser species). A cannula was placed into the caudal thoracic air sac to provide an alternate airway for fresh air flow. Tracheal stenosis, as a sequel to a predator-inflicted wound in the ventral cervical region, was diagnosed by tracheoscopy. The stenotic section was resected, and the trachea was successfully reconstructed by using appositional sutures around two adjacent cartilaginous rings on each side of the resection. Adjunct therapy included antimicrobial and antiinflammatory drugs. © 1998 by the Association of Avian Veterinarians.
