What Is Endoscopy?
Pet endoscopy is a minimally invasive diagnostic and therapeutic procedure that uses a flexible camera-equipped instrument to examine your pet’s internal organs and body cavities. Our skilled veterinary team utilizes advanced endoscopic technology to diagnose conditions, remove foreign objects, and perform treatments without the need for major surgery, resulting in faster recovery times and less discomfort for your pet.
Our Approach
At Animal Urgent Care Tri-State, we understand that diagnostic procedures can be concerning for pet owners worried about their companion’s health. We’re committed to keeping you informed throughout the endoscopic examination and explaining our findings in detail so you can make the best decisions for your pet’s care.
A Plan for Every Pet
We utilize the latest endoscopic equipment and gentle sedation protocols to ensure your pet’s comfort during the procedure. Every pet’s anatomy and condition are different, and we customize each endoscopic examination to target specific areas of concern while minimizing stress and discomfort. Your pet’s safety and well-being are our highest priority! During the procedure, your pet is carefully monitored by our experienced veterinary team using advanced monitoring equipment to ensure their vital signs remain stable.
We offer:
- Upper gastrointestinal endoscopy (esophagus, stomach)
- Lower gastrointestinal endoscopy (colon examination)
- Foreign body retrieval without surgery
- Tissue biopsy collection for diagnosis
- Airway examination (rhinoscopy, bronchoscopy)
- Minimally invasive treatment procedures
After the endoscopic procedure is completed and your pet has recovered from sedation, we’ll call you immediately to discuss our findings and any recommendations for treatment. When your pet goes home, we’ll provide detailed information about what we discovered during the examination, along with any follow-up care instructions or medications needed. Our veterinary team will take time to thoroughly explain the results and answer any questions about your pet’s diagnosis or treatment options.
