Endoscopy Services

Overview

At Animal Republic Veterinary Hospital and ER, we offer advanced endoscopy services to accurately diagnose and treat various health issues in your pet with minimal invasiveness. Our endoscopic procedures provide a detailed view of internal organs and structures such as the digestive system, urinary system, and respiratory system without the need for extensive surgery.

What is Endoscopy?

Endoscopy involves the use of a flexible tube with a camera (endoscope) to view the inside of your pet’s body. This technique allows us to diagnose problems with precision while minimizing the need for large surgical incisions.

Benefits of Endoscopy

• Minimally Invasive: Endoscopy requires only small incisions or none at all, resulting in less trauma and faster recovery compared to traditional surgery.
• Detailed Visualization: The endoscope provides high-resolution views of internal structures, allowing for a clear and detailed assessment.
• Direct Treatment: Endoscopy allows for the removal of foreign objects and collection of biopsy samples during the procedure, combining diagnosis and treatment efficiently.
