Flexible Pet Endoscopy: Non-Invasive Exploration in Bessemer City, NC
Flexible Pet Endoscopy is an advanced, minimally invasive diagnostic tool that allows our veterinarians to visualize and examine your pet’s internal organs without the need for major surgery. At The Pet Hospital in Bessemer City, NC, we utilize Flexible Pet Endoscopy to diagnose complex digestive and respiratory issues, often preventing the need for more extensive surgery.
How Flexible Pet Endoscopy Works
An endoscope is a long, flexible tube equipped with a tiny camera and light source. Under general anesthesia, the scope is gently passed into the body (usually through the mouth or rectum), allowing real-time, high-definition visualization of the esophagus, stomach, colon, or airways.
- Foreign Body Retrieval: One of the most common and critical uses is retrieving ingested foreign objects (like toys, socks, or bones) from the stomach or esophagus. This often saves the pet from open-chest or open-abdominal surgery.
- Biopsies: Taking small, precise tissue samples for definitive diagnosis by our In-House Veterinary Laboratory when investigating chronic vomiting, diarrhea, or inflammatory bowel disease.
- Detailed Inspection: Providing magnified visualization of the mucosal lining to check for ulcers, tumors, inflammation, or structural abnormalities.
Minimally Invasive, Maximum Information
Compared to traditional surgery, Flexible Pet Endoscopy offers several key benefits:
- Faster Recovery: Minimal trauma means your pet recovers much faster than from traditional Surgery.
- High Diagnostic Value: Provides a direct, visual confirmation of the problem that may not be fully evident on an x-ray or ultrasound.
- Enhanced Safety: The procedure is generally safer and less stressful for the pet.
