Endoscopy uses a slim, flexible camera to look inside the body and treat certain problems without the larger incisions of traditional surgery. At OC Pets we use it mainly for rhinoscopy, examining the nasal passages, and for retrieving foreign objects that become lodged in the nose or airway. Because the approach is gentle, most patients need only a short anaesthetic and recover quickly, often going home the same day. When endoscopy is the right tool, it means faster answers, less discomfort and a smoother recovery for your pet.
What's Included
Rhinoscopy
Camera-guided examination of the nasal passages to investigate chronic sneezing, nasal discharge, nosebleeds and suspected foreign material or masses.
Foreign Body Retrieval
Minimally invasive removal of inhaled or lodged objects from the nose and airway, often avoiding the need for open surgery.
Airway and Laryngeal Assessment
Direct visual inspection of the larynx and upper airway to help diagnose coughing, noisy breathing and obstructions.
Guided Biopsy and Sampling
Targeted tissue and swab samples taken under direct vision, for accurate diagnosis of inflammation, infection or growths.
Gentle and Minimally Invasive
Small or no incisions mean less pain, lower infection risk and a gentler experience for your pet than open surgery.
Faster Recovery
Most patients go home the same day after a short anaesthetic and return to normal quickly.
