Pet Endoscopy in Wilson, NC

At Brentwood Veterinary Center, we’re proud to offer minimally invasive endoscopy as part of our advanced diagnostic and treatment options. Endoscopy allows us to see inside your pet’s body without the need for major surgery—leading to faster diagnoses, quicker recoveries, and less stress for both pets and their people.

Expertise You Can Trust

Dr. Smith is specially trained in performing veterinary endoscopy and has extensive experience using this advanced diagnostic tool to evaluate and treat a wide range of conditions. Your pet is in skilled, compassionate hands every step of the way.

What Is Endoscopy?

Endoscopy is a procedure that uses a long, flexible tube with a camera and light on the end (called an endoscope) to examine areas such as the gastrointestinal tract, respiratory system, or urinary system. This tool allows us to view internal structures in real-time and even collect biopsy samples—all with minimal discomfort.

Common Uses for Endoscopy:

  • Chronic vomiting or diarrhea

  • Suspected foreign body ingestion

  • Unexplained weight loss

  • Nasal discharge or sneezing

  • Difficulty swallowing or regurgitation

  • Persistent coughing or respiratory issues

  • Evaluation of internal masses or ulcers

Benefits of Endoscopy:

  • Minimally invasive (no large incisions)

  • Shorter recovery time compared to surgery

  • Reduced pain and lower risk of complications

  • Ability to obtain tissue samples for diagnosis

  • Can often prevent the need for exploratory surgery

What to Expect

Endoscopy is performed under general anesthesia to keep your pet comfortable and still. Dr. Smith will use the endoscope to examine the target area and, if needed, take biopsies or remove foreign material. Most pets go home the same day with minimal downtime.

Advanced Care, Compassionate Team

If your pet is experiencing chronic symptoms or has a condition that requires further investigation, endoscopy may be the next step in finding answers and starting effective treatment.
