Pet Endoscopy Services at Vets 24

What is Pet Endoscopy?

Pet endoscopy is a non-surgical, minimally invasive diagnostic tool used to examine the internal organs and structures of your pet’s body. During the procedure, a thin, flexible tube called an endoscope is inserted into your pet’s body through natural openings like the mouth, nose, or anus, or small incisions if necessary. This tube is equipped with a tiny camera and light, allowing our veterinarians to get a detailed view of areas like the gastrointestinal tract, respiratory system, and other internal organs.

Conditions Diagnosed with Pet Endoscopy

Endoscopy is commonly used to diagnose and treat conditions in various parts of the body, including:

  • Gastrointestinal issues: Such as vomiting, diarrhea, gastrointestinal blockages, and ulcers.
  • Respiratory problems: Like chronic coughing, nasal blockages, or tracheal collapse.
  • Urinary tract concerns: To evaluate the bladder and urethra.
  • Foreign object removal: Pets often swallow objects that can’t be expelled naturally. Endoscopy allows us to locate and remove these items safely.

Key Benefits of Pet Endoscopy

  1. Minimally Invasive: Unlike traditional surgery, endoscopy involves no large incisions, which means less trauma for your pet and a quicker recovery time.
  2. Accurate Diagnosis: The high-definition camera in the endoscope provides a clear view of your pet’s internal organs, helping our vets to accurately diagnose and treat conditions.
  3. Reduced Recovery Time: Since endoscopy is a non-surgical procedure, your pet experiences less pain, and fewer complications, and can return to their normal activities more quickly.
  4. Biopsies and Treatments: If necessary, our veterinarians can also perform biopsies or minor treatments during the endoscopy procedure, reducing the need for additional surgeries.
