What is an endoscopy?
An endoscopy is an internal examination in which the veterinarian can look into the body using a tube through, for example, the mouth, nose or anus without having to perform an operation. There is a camera on the end of the tube. This allows our veterinarian to accurately visualize everything and possibly also store images.
You can contact us for?
- Rhinoscopy:
The nose is fully examined and we can, for example, look for the cause of sneezing, chronic colds, runny nose, nosebleeds, etc. - Bronchoscopy:
This involves using a camera to examine the trachea and bronchi. - Gastroduodenoscopy:
This involves visualizing part of the digestive system (stomach, intestines, duodenum). Has your dog swallowed a foreign object? In some cases, this can also be removed directly during a Gastroduodenoscopy. If this is not possible, a regular operation is still necessary. It is important for this endoscopy that your animal has to be fasting for at least 24 hours! This way, we can examine an animal "clean" because a stomach filled with food cannot be examined. - Cystoscopy:
This is a technique where the urethra and bladder are examined with the camera. We could look for bladder stones or abnormal tissue, for example. - Colonoscopy:
The camera is inserted into your pet's anus.
This examination is also performed under general anesthesia. In addition, the animal must be fasting for 36 hours because a large intestine filled with food cannot be examined.
If you have any questions, you can always contact the practice. Our assistants will be happy to help you. Making an appointment for an endoscopy is always done in consultation with the vet or is scheduled by telephone.
