Discovering Gastrointestinal Health with Colonoscopy

Colonoscopy is a minimally invasive procedure that involves using a flexible video endoscope to examine the interior of your pet’s colon (large intestine). This diagnostic method is particularly beneficial in cases where gastrointestinal issues or abnormalities are suspected.

Key Features of Colonoscopy:

  • Comprehensive Examination: Colonoscopy allows us to visualize the lining of your pet’s colon, identifying potential issues such as inflammation, polyps, tumors, or other abnormalities that may contribute to digestive problems.
  • Precise Diagnosis: The high-definition visuals captured during colonoscopy provide our skilled veterinarians with detailed information, leading to accurate diagnoses and tailored treatment plans.
  • Biopsy Collection: In some cases, we may collect biopsy samples during the procedure. These samples aid in understanding the nature of the issue and guide us in recommending the most appropriate course of action.
