Endoscopy

We are pleased to announce that we are offering endoscopy services to our clients. We have purchased equipment and have undergone specialized training for these new services. Endoscopy is a minimally invasive procedure that allows the examiner to look within an organ or body cavity and gain diagnostic information. Gastrointestinal (GI) endoscopy is the most common use of endoscopy in veterinary medicine.  Doctors can use this method for foreign body removal within the esophagus, stomach, and first part of the intestines as well as sample collection from these areas to check for abnormalities. Endoscopes can be utilized to investigate multiple other body systems as well including the nose, bladder, ears, joints, lungs, trachea (windpipe), etc.  This equipment can also be used to perform laparoscopic procedures.  We are hoping to begin to offer laparoscopic procedures in the future.  We are currently offering endoscopy for the gastrointestinal tract, nose, ears, and other select sites.  We look forward to offering a wider variety of services in the near future.
