Using endoscopy, we can look inside your pet's body with a camera—minimising the need for invasive surgery and improving recovery times.

When your beloved dog or cat is experiencing unexplained symptoms like persistent vomiting, diarrhea, difficulty swallowing, or weight loss, getting to the root cause quickly and safely is paramount. Our state-of-the-art endoscopy services offer a revolutionary approach to pet diagnostics, allowing us to look inside your pet's body with precision and minimal invasiveness.

What Is Endoscopy?

Endoscopy is a cutting-edge diagnostic procedure that uses a specialised instrument called an endoscope—a long, flexible tube equipped with a high-definition camera and light source at its tip. This remarkable technology allows our veterinarians to visually examine the internal structures of your pet's body in real-time, transmitting crystal-clear, full-colour images to a computer monitor.

The endoscope can be inserted through natural body openings (such as the mouth or rectum) or through tiny incisions, depending on the area being examined. What makes this procedure truly exceptional is its dual capability: not only can we diagnose conditions, but we can also perform therapeutic interventions during the same procedure.

Why Choose Endoscopy for Your Pet?

Minimally Invasive Alternative to Surgery: Unlike traditional exploratory surgery, endoscopy requires no large incisions, significantly reducing trauma to your pet's body. This means faster healing times, less pain, and reduced risk of complications.

Real-Time Diagnosis: Our veterinarians can see exactly what's happening inside your pet's body as it occurs, allowing for immediate assessment and decision-making during the procedure.

Precise Tissue Sampling: The endoscope features specialised channels that allow us to pass biopsy instruments directly to areas of concern, enabling precise tissue sampling for pathological analysis.

Safety and Success Rates

Endoscopy is considered extremely safe when performed by experienced veterinarians. Whilst all procedures involving anaesthesia carry some inherent risks, complications from endoscopy are rare and typically minor. Our team takes extensive safety precautions, including:

  • Comprehensive pre-anesthetic health assessment
  • Continuous monitoring during the procedure
  • Use of the latest anesthetic protocols
  • Post-procedure monitoring until full recovery

The procedure has an excellent success rate for both diagnostic and therapeutic applications, with most pet owners seeing immediate answers to their pet's health concerns.
