What is Endoscopy?

Endoscopy is a diagnostic and therapeutic procedure that uses a flexible tube with a camera and light source to visualize the inside of your pet’s body. This procedure allows us to examine internal organs and can be used to diagnose and treat a variety of conditions. Endoscopy is minimally invasive, which means it can often be performed with less discomfort and a faster recovery time than traditional surgery.
