Endoscopy

For a thorough pet diagnosis, certain health concerns may require an internal examination. Whether it's worries about internal organs, the need for a tissue sample, or signs of a foreign object, your veterinarian may suggest a closer look. While surgery is the traditional method, endoscopy offers a less invasive option, letting the veterinarian visualize internal structures, reducing recovery time and surgical risks.

An endoscope has a small video lens, a light for illumination, and a biopsy tool. It's versatile, allowing examination of areas like the nose, throat, stomach, upper intestines, lungs, and lower intestinal tract.

River's Edge Animal Hospital has an in-office advanced endoscopy unit, enabling the diagnosis of respiratory and digestive tract illnesses for both current patients and outpatients referred by your family veterinarian. Dr. Blackburn, with extensive training and seven years of experience, is excited to offer this unique service within River’s Edge to enhance your pet's well-being.
