https://www.vetsurgeon.org/f/clinical-questions/24071/naso-oesophageal-tube-odd-complication My colleague placed a standard silicone naso-oesophageal tube in a cat yesterday. Placement was uneventful, thoracic radiograph showed good placement and the cat was fed uneventfully. 4 hours later the cat was due his next feed.

The only cat&#39;s &quot;weapons&quot; I can think of are his claws and his teeth. It&#39;s difficult to imagine how could he manage to chew his tube when it was placed nasogastrically.
