Pet Endoscopy: Advanced Care, Rapid Results

When you’re dealing with an ill pet and need answers quickly, Moreau Animal Clinic has the advanced diagnostic tools to provide them. Pet endoscopy is a minimally invasive procedure that allows our veterinarians to examine your pet’s internal organs and structures without major surgery.

What is Pet Endoscopy?

An endoscope is a thin, flexible tube with a tiny camera and light at its tip. This specialized equipment allows our veterinarians to visualize areas inside your pet’s body with remarkable clarity and minimal discomfort.

What to Expect

To ensure their comfort and safety, your pet will receive sedation or anesthesia during the procedure. Most endoscopic examinations take between 20 and 45 minutes, depending on the area being examined and whether samples need to be collected. Recovery is typically quick, with most pets returning home the same day. Your veterinarian will provide specific aftercare instructions tailored to your pet’s needs, but most animals can resume normal activities within 24 hours.

How Can Endoscopy Help Your Pet?

Endoscopic procedures help diagnose and sometimes treat conditions affecting your pet’s:

• Digestive system (esophagus, stomach, intestines)
• Respiratory tract (nasal passages, throat, lungs)

This valuable tool helps us identify foreign objects, inflammation, tumors, polyps, and other abnormalities that might be causing your pet discomfort.

Why Choose Endoscopy?

Compared to exploratory surgery, endoscopy often means:

• Less pain and discomfort
• Faster recovery time
• Reduced risk of complications
• Same-day results (in some cases)
