Endoscopy
At The Woodbridge Vets, we use advanced endoscopy to diagnose and treat a range of internal conditions in pets. This minimally invasive procedure allows our veterinary team to visualise and assess areas such as the gastrointestinal tract, respiratory system, and other internal organs without the need for traditional surgery. Endoscopy is particularly beneficial for detecting foreign bodies, inflammation, or abnormal growths. It is a safer alternative, reducing recovery time and discomfort for your pet. With state-of-the-art equipment and expertise, we ensure thorough diagnostics and effective treatments, all while prioritising the comfort and well-being of your pet.
Endoscopic Biopsies for IBD
Endoscopic biopsies are a key tool in diagnosing Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) in pets. At The Woodbridge Vets, we use endoscopy to obtain small tissue samples from the stomach or intestines, which are then analysed for signs of inflammation or other abnormalities. This minimally invasive technique allows for an accurate diagnosis without the need for more invasive surgery. By identifying the underlying cause of chronic gastrointestinal symptoms such as vomiting, diarrhoea, or weight loss, our veterinary team can tailor a treatment plan specific to your pet's needs. Endoscopic biopsies offer a less stressful and quicker recovery option for diagnosing IBD.
Nasal Endoscopy
Nasal endoscopy at The Woodbridge Vets is an advanced diagnostic tool used to evaluate the nasal passages and sinuses in pets. This procedure is particularly useful for investigating chronic nasal discharge, nosebleeds, sneezing, or difficulty breathing. By inserting a small, flexible camera into the nasal cavity, our veterinarians can visualise any inflammation, foreign bodies, tumors, or infections present in the area. Nasal endoscopy is a minimally invasive procedure that helps in providing a clear diagnosis without the need for more invasive exploratory surgery, allowing for quicker treatment decisions and recovery. Our goal is to ensure accurate diagnosis and effective relief for your pet.
Bronchoscopy
Bronchoscopy is a highly effective diagnostic procedure used at The Woodbridge Vets to examine the airways and lungs of pets. This minimally invasive technique involves passing a flexible camera into the respiratory tract, allowing our veterinary team to detect and assess issues such as chronic coughing, difficulty breathing, or suspected infections. Bronchoscopy is particularly useful for identifying foreign bodies, tumors, inflammation, or bronchial collapse. It can also be used to collect samples for further analysis. This procedure provides a clear and detailed view of the airways, aiding in accurate diagnosis and tailored treatment to improve your pet’s respiratory health.
