Welcome to Valley Referrals’ Rhinoscopy services, an advanced diagnostic procedure aimed at uncovering the causes of persistent sneezing, nasal discharge, and related symptoms in dogs and cats. Our skilled veterinary team utilizes rigid endoscopy to examine the nasal passages, providing vital insights that aid in accurate diagnoses and effective treatment plans.


Exploring Nasal Health with Rhinoscopy
Rhinoscopy involves the use of a rigid endoscope to meticulously investigate the nasal passages of your beloved pets. This procedure is a cornerstone in identifying underlying issues causing nasal discomfort and symptoms.
Key Features of Rhinoscopy:
- Persistent Symptoms: If your pet is experiencing persistent sneezing, nasal discharge from one or both nostrils, or other nasal-related concerns, rhinoscopy is a powerful diagnostic tool to uncover the root causes.
- Complementary Diagnostics: Our skilled veterinarians often combine rhinoscopy with imaging techniques like X-rays or CT scans. This comprehensive approach enhances our ability to visualize the nasal passages and pinpoint abnormalities.
- Sample Collection: Rhinoscopy allows us to gather samples directly from the nasal passages, aiding in accurate diagnoses. These samples play a vital role in formulating the appropriate treatment plan for your pet’s condition.

Precise Diagnostic Insights
At Valley Referrals, we prioritize thorough and accurate diagnoses:
- Collaborative Approach: Our veterinary experts collaborate to ensure a comprehensive evaluation of your pet’s nasal health. Combining the findings from rhinoscopy, imaging, and sample analysis provides a clear understanding of the situation.

- Effective Treatment: The insights gained through rhinoscopy enable us to recommend targeted treatments based on the specific issue affecting your pet’s nasal health.
