Endoscopic Services at Eureka Vet

Using our high-quality video endoscopy system, we are able to perform a range of diagnostic and therapeutic procedures, including:

Bronchoscopy – Airway and Lung Evaluation

Used to examine the windpipe and lungs, bronchoscopy can help us:

• Investigate chronic coughing or breathing difficulties
• Identify structural abnormalities
• Take samples of airway secretions
• Remove inhaled foreign bodies
• Biopsy suspicious masses

Gastrointestinal Endoscopy – Stomach and Intestinal Assessment

A valuable, non-surgical way to explore the upper and lower digestive tract. We may recommend GI endoscopy for pets showing:

• Vomiting or regurgitation
• Chronic diarrhoea
• Weight loss
• Nausea or inappetence
• Blood or mucus in stool
• Suspected foreign body ingestion

We commonly use it to collect intestinal biopsies or retrieve swallowed objects without surgery.

Otoscopy – Ear Canal Examination and Treatment

Otoscopy allows detailed examination and treatment of the external and middle ear. It is particularly useful for:

• Diagnosing chronic or recurrent ear infections
• Flushing debris safely under visual guidance
• Removing polyps or growths
• Extracting lodged foreign objects
• Sampling from deep within the ear canal

Rhinoscopy – Nasal Cavity Investigation

Rhinoscopy is used to explore the nasal passages and sinuses, often recommended for:

• Chronic nasal discharge
• Sneezing or reverse sneezing
• Nasal bleeding
• Nasal blockages or deformity
• Suspected tumours or polyps
• Abnormal radiographs of the skull

It provides a clearer, less invasive approach to diagnosing long-standing nasal issues.

Your pet’s comfort is our priority

As with all procedures requiring general anaesthesia, your pet will be carefully monitored by our trained nursing team using modern anaesthetic protocols and advanced monitoring equipment. Most pets are able to return home on the same day with minimal discomfort.
