We are one of the few practices to offer gastroscope diagnostic technologies.

Our portable system allows our team to perform advanced diagnostics right in your barn. Visualizing the equine respiratory and gastrointestinal system with a video endoscope allows diagnosis of many conditions affecting the upper airway, sinuses, trachea, and lower airway, esophagus, and stomach. Our doctors are committed to proper diagnosis to help guide you through a treatment plan with the best outcome possible.

An endoscopy is a highly useful medical imaging tool used to examine your horse without actually examining an internal organ or obtaining a biopsy. To perform an endoscopy, your veterinarian uses a thin tubular instrument with a small camera on the end – called an endoscope – and inserts it into an opening of the body. With endoscopic equipment, your veterinarian can examine different internal organs like the lungs (bronchoscopy), the colon (colonoscopy), and the bladder (cystoscopy). An endoscopy can also provide a minimally invasive way to diagnose gastrointestinal conditions and cancer.
