Abstract
Respiratory distress is a life-threatening clinical syndrome that should be dealt with immediately. What is done in the initial approach to these animals can make the difference between life and death. This chapter covers initial assessment and stabilization, pathophysiology, diagnostic approach, diseases associated with respiratory distress and prolonged oxygen therapy. Operative Technique: Emergency tracheotomy.
