Endoscopy FAQs
Just a few common questions about Endoscopy. If there is something else you need to know just ask in the Contact Us form below!
Do all endoscopies need anaesthesia?
Yes – this keeps pets still, comfortable and safe, and protects delicate tissues.
Can you remove a foreign body with endoscopy?
Often yes (e.g., stomach, nose, ear, some bladder/urethral items). If not feasible, we’ll advise the safest alternative.
Endoscopy vs ultrasound/X-ray - what’s the difference?
Imaging shows shapes; endoscopy shows surfaces and allows biopsies/treatment. They are complementary.
How long does it take?
30–90 minutes depending on area and whether treatment/biopsies are performed.
