A comprehensive service in clinical gastroenterology, endoscopy and clinical nutrition is provided.
I am aware of other vets who regularly use endoscopy to assess the reproductive tract.
The upper GI endoscopy, also called the esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD), by contrast, is a more sensitive test and offers a more complete picture of what is happening in the upper digestive tract.
For the endoscopy, the patient receives a mild sedative, then a small, flexible tube is inserted into the esophagus.
For the upper endoscopy procedure, the throat is sprayed with an anesthetic (numbin) medicine and a long, flexible tube is passed through the esophagus, stomach, and small intestine.
