Endoscopy

Miller Animal Hospital has the latest in endoscopy technology which allows our experienced veterinarian to make a visual examination of your pet’s internal organs and body parts without invasive exploratory surgery. The endoscopic procedure is performed using either a rigid or flexible fiberoptic instrument.

Using endoscopy for inspection of the digestive system for example, the advantage of endoscopy over other methods is that it is non-surgical. This technique allows for the inspection of the digestive system and for taking samples of the lining of these organs including biopsies. Also, many foreign bodies in the esophagus and stomach may be removed with endoscopy.
