Abstract

A spiny soft-shell turtle (Apalone spinifera) underwent coelioscopy after a 6 month history of anorexia and persistent leukocytosis. A laryngeal mass obstructed the glottis and prevented standard orotracheal intubation. Use of a red rubber catheter through a midventral cervical tracheostomy facilitated orotracheal intubation and maintenance by inhalant anesthesia. This method of intubation should be considered as an option for intubation in the chelonian if access to the glottis is impaired.
