Endoscopic examinations are also available in our veterinary hospital, which are extremely useful tools for both diagnostics and surgery, allowing direct examination of internal organs and body cavities. Most often gastro-intestinal tract(oesophagus, stomach, intestines) with an endoscope (gastroscopy) to diagnose diseases of the intestinal tract, such as ulcers and tumours. The endoscope allows removal of foreign bodies, such as swallowed objects from the stomach, or stomas from the nasal cavity, so that invasive surgical procedures can be avoided. We often use respiratory for examinations, such as examination or sampling of the nose, throat or lungs (bronchoscopy), in case of cough or respiratory problems. With the endoscope biopsy sampling we also do. The procedure is minimally invasive, so we can reduce the risks involved and shorten the anaesthetic and recovery time.
