Minimally Invasive Pet Endoscopy
Non-Surgical Diagnostic Solutions for Pets
At Healthy Pets Urgent Care, we’re thrilled to provide state-of-the-art veterinary care for local pets. One of the ways we do that is by offering endoscopy, a minimally invasive diagnostic tool that allows us to examine your pet’s digestive system without the need for traditional surgery, in Lake Mary.
What is?
What is Endoscopy?
Endoscopy is a medical procedure that uses a long, thin tube with a tiny camera attached to its end (called an endoscope) to look inside your pet’s body. This advanced technology allows veterinarians to visualize and examine the interior of hollow organs or cavities in the body.
How it works
How Does Endoscopy Work?
During an endoscopic procedure:
1
The endoscope is carefully inserted into the body through a natural opening (like the mouth for upper GI endoscopy) or a small incision.
2
The camera at the tip of the endoscope transmits detailed images to a monitor, allowing the veterinarian to examine the area of concern.
3
Special instruments can be passed through the endoscope to take tissue samples (biopsies) or remove foreign objects if necessary.
Common Uses
of Endoscopy in Veterinary Medicine
Endoscopy can be used to diagnose and treat a variety of conditions in pets, including:
Removal of foreign objects
Collection of biopsy samples
Gastrointestinal issues (esophagus, stomach, and intestines)

What to Expect
During a Endoscopy Procedure
Endoscopy is typically performed under general anesthesia to ensure your pet’s comfort and to allow for a thorough examination. The procedure usually takes 30 minutes to an hour, depending on the area being examined and whether any interventions are necessary.
After the procedure, most pets can go home the same day. Recovery is usually quick, with most pets returning to their normal activities within 24-48 hours.
