Pet Endoscopy Services in the Seattle, WA, Area
Has your pet recently experienced unexplained vomiting, diarrhea, or weight loss? To determine what is wrong, a number of tests, including a pet endoscopy, may be necessary. Rely on South Seattle Veterinary Hospital
for effective and minimally invasive pet endoscopy services for the Seattle, WA, area.
What Is an Endoscopy?An endoscopy is a minimally invasive medical procedure where we insert an endoscope — a small tube-like object that has a camera and light attached — through the mouth or rectum. The endoscopy goes through the esophagus to the stomach and then to the small intestine. We also take small tissue samples to send to the lab for analysis. An endoscopy typically requires anesthesia.
Why Does My Pet Need an Endoscopy?While we use other tests such as bloodwork or ultrasounds to rule out certain conditions, an endoscopy allows us to see inside your pet's stomach, esophagus, or parts of the GI tract. This helps us diagnose whether or not your dog has any of these conditions:
What Benefits Does Endoscopy Offer?First, endoscopy is a minimally invasive procedure, with no incision and much less discomfort than other procedures.
Additionally, an endoscopy typically only takes a few hours to complete, which means less stress on both the dog and your schedule. The recovery time is minimal as well, with pets making a quick return to wellness.
