What is endoscopy?

Endoscopy is a non-invasive procedure that allows us to take a look inside your pet’s body using a long, thin, flexible tube with a camera and light attached at the end.

Endoscopy allows us to diagnose and treat a variety of medical conditions and is much less invasive than traditional surgery, is quicker and causes less discomfort for the patient.

Our veterinary surgeon Genevieve Driane is currently undertaking her GPCert in Endoscopy and Endosurgery.
