Endoscopy

Exciting News for Our Furry Friends: We Now Offer Endoscopy Services!

At Walpole Veterinary Hospital, we are always looking for innovative ways to provide the best care for your beloved pets. That's why we're thrilled to announce that we've just added a cutting-edge endoscope to our state-of-the-art diagnostic tools!


What is an Endoscope and How Can It Help Your Pet?

An endoscope is a versatile, minimally invasive tool that allows us to look inside your pet’s body without needing to perform surgery. Using a small camera, we can get a real-time, high-definition view of your pet’s internal organs, airways, and digestive tract. This means we can diagnose and treat conditions more efficiently, often with faster recovery times.


Why Does This Matter to You and Your Pet?

  • Less Stress, More Comfort: No more traditional, invasive surgeries to explore what's causing your pet’s symptoms. The endoscope allows us to pinpoint issues like vomiting or unexplained weight loss without a big procedure.

  • Quick and Accurate Diagnosis: Whether it's gastrointestinal issues, respiratory concerns, or even foreign objects, the endoscope helps us identify problems quickly and accurately so we can start treatment right away.

  • Faster Recovery: Since the procedure is minimally invasive, your pet will recover much faster and feel better sooner—getting them back to their happy, playful selves!

  • Peace of Mind for You: Knowing that we can diagnose issues more quickly and precisely means less worry for you as a pet owner. Plus, you’ll be part of every step of your pet’s journey to wellness.


What Can We Use the Endoscope For?

  • Foreign Body Retrieval: If your pet eats something they shouldn’t (like a toy or sock), we can safely remove it without surgery.

  • Gastrointestinal Issues: Whether it’s nausea, vomiting, or unexplained weight loss, the endoscope helps us identify conditions like ulcers, inflammation, or infections in the stomach and intestines.

  • Biopsy and Sample Collection: In some cases, we may need to collect tissue samples for further testing, all without the need for invasive surgery.
