Endoscopy Services We Perform

Endoscopy lets us see inside your pet's body with a tiny camera — minimally invasive, no large incisions.

  • Gastroscopy – stomach & upper small intestine (chronic vomiting, foreign bodies)
  • Colonoscopy – large intestine (chronic diarrhea, bleeding)
  • Rhinoscopy – nasal cavity (chronic nasal discharge, sneezing)
  • Bronchoscopy – lungs & airways (chronic cough, collapsing trachea evaluation)
  • Cystoscopy – bladder & urethra (urinary incontinence, stones, tumors) – especially helpful in female dogs
  • Foreign-body retrieval (no surgery needed in many cases)
Most endoscopic procedures are outpatient — your pet goes home the same day with only mild sedation or anesthesia.

Frequently Asked Questions

It depends entirely on the type of endoscopy we're performing:

  • Non-laparoscopic endoscopies (nose, throat, esophagus/stomach, bladder, ears) are performed through natural body openings → no surgical incisions at all.
  • Every patient will have a small patch shaved on a leg for the IV catheter (required for anesthesia). A small perianal shave may also be needed in some cases.
  • Laparoscopy (e.g., prophylactic gastropexy, laparoscopic-assisted spay, organ biopsies, some cystotomies/bladder stone removals) is still a form of endoscopy, but it does require 1–3 very small incisions (usually 5–15 mm) and abdominal shaving/clipping for sterility.

Even with laparoscopy, pain is dramatically reduced, recovery is much faster, and scars are tiny compared to traditional open surgery.
