Endoscopy

Here at the ECA, we can perform minimally invasive endoscopic exams of the upper (stomach and duodenum) and lower (colon, rectum) digestive tract in most patients. In addition, we can use our endoscopes to evaluate nasal disease, the bladder and the airways. Not only can we view the affected organs, we can also obtain biopsies for microscopic analysis. The scopes allow nonsurgical retrieval of some swallowed foreign bodies.

Below, you can see Dr. Gunby perform an endoscopic procedure to examine and obtain biopsies from a dog's intestines.

Our video endoscopy unit allows us to do thorough examinations of the digestive and respiratory tracts, as well as collect biopsies and retrieve foreign objects without having to perform an invasive surgery. Dr. Gunby is now also providing an array of minimally invasive laparoscopic surgical procedures.
