Esophagostomy tubes are usually 16–20 Fr in diameter. A red rubber tube, a polyvinyl chloride tube, a polyurethane tube, or a silicone tube can be used for an esophagostomy tube (Figure 4.3). The holes at the extremity of the tube need to enlarged to prevent clogging of the tube with the gruel (Crowe and Devey 1997b; Devitt and Seim 1997).

The dog or the cat needs to be placed under general anesthesia and intubated for the placement of an esophagostomy tube. The patient is positioned in right lateral recumbency and the left side of the neck is clipped and surgically prepared and draped.
