Endoscopy

We have two endoscopes available to examine the respiratory tract, including the larynx, pharynx, guttural pouches and trachea. One is a shorter and narrower endoscope for use in smaller horses and ponies or to view the guttural pouches. Tracheal wash samples to check for allergies and infections can be performed down either scope. We also have a broncho alveolar lavage (BAL) tube to enable us to take samples from deeper down in the lungs.

The endoscopes can be used either at your premises or at our clinic.
