当你的马开始比平常咳嗽得更频繁,在运动时呼吸急促,或者似乎在吞咽时感到困难时,感到担忧是很容易的,但很难知道从哪里开始。
That’s where a tool like the 内窥镜马 comes into play.
虽然听起来很专业,但马匹呼吸道问题的内窥镜检查实际上是一种简单、微创的方法,让兽医能够查看马匹的气道或消化道,了解真实情况。
它是现代马匹护理中最值得信赖的诊断工具之一,但许多马主仍然不知道马内窥镜是如何工作的、何时在马匹身上使用内窥镜检查,或者在马内窥镜检查期间应该期待什么。

An 马内窥镜 is a long, flexible tube equipped with a small camera and a light at the end.
It’s designed to be gently inserted through a horse’s nostril or mouth to provide a live video view of internal structures like the:
- Nasal passages
- Throat
- Larynx
- Trachea
- 食道
- 胃
因为它如此狭窄和灵活,它可以在没有手术或疼痛的情况下探索这些领域。
兽医在监视器上实时观看视频画面,这使得更容易发现炎症、异物、异常组织或在X光片上看不到的功能问题。
与放射线或超声等成像不同,内窥镜检查提供了直接的视觉观察——这不是猜测,而是实际存在的情况。
That precision is what makes it so valuable, especially in cases where symptoms are vague or ongoing.
Want clearer answers about your horse’s health? Ask your vet if using an equine endoscope could help, it’s one of the most accurate ways to see what’s really going on inside.
When Is Equine Endoscopy Used? You won’t need an endoscope for every cough or sneeze, but when problems persist or show up repeatedly without explanation, it can provide the answers you’re looking for.
Common situations where endoscopy is recommended include:
- 慢性咳嗽
- Noisy or labored breathing during work
- 鼻涕
- Difficulty swallowing
- Episodes of choke
- Exercise intolerance.
It’s also frequently used in performance horses to evaluate airway health or when gastric ulcers are suspected.
例如,一匹年轻的综合马术马在比赛中途开始失去动力,尽管它身体健康且饮食良好——这是一个令人困惑的问题,在基本检查或血液检测中并未显示出来。
A dynamic endoscopy - performed while the horse was in motion - revealed a partial collapse of the arytenoid cartilage, a condition that only appeared under physical exertion and would have been missed with standard diagnostics.
This real-time, in-motion imaging gave vets the exact insight needed to diagnose the issue accurately.
With this information, the treatment plan was adjusted, and the horse’s performance improved dramatically - a clear example of how equine endoscopy can directly impact recovery and success in performance horses.
💡Pro Tip: Some veterinarians now use high-speed cameras to capture detailed images while horses are exercising. This is particularly useful for diagnosing issues that only manifest during activity, not at rest.

If your vet recommends an equine endoscopy, it’s natural to feel a little nervous.
But the process is much simpler than it sounds, and most horses tolerate it very well.
The preparation depends on what area the vet is examining.
如果涉及到胃或食道,您的马可能需要在检查前禁食6到12小时,以确保视野清晰。
对于喉咙或鼻子的检查,通常不需要禁食。
The vet may also perform a brief physical check to confirm your horse is healthy enough for the procedure.
在某些情况下,轻度镇静用于帮助马匹保持冷静和安静,特别是如果这是它们第一次或它们有点紧张。
Once your horse is calm, the endoscope is carefully inserted through the nostril or mouth, depending on the target area.
因为管子非常细且灵活,通常只会造成最小的不适,大多数马匹对此的耐受性出乎意料地好,特别是如果操作稳健且方法温和的话。
随着范围穿过上呼吸道或食道,摄像头将清晰的实时视频传输到监视器。

They’re not just looking for “damage” - they’re observing function, movement, and subtle signs like mucus buildup, inflammation, structural collapse, or tissue changes.
如果兽医看到一些不寻常的东西,比如肿块、溃疡或嵌入物,他们通常可以使用附在内窥镜上的小工具进行活检或轻柔地移除材料。
This can save your horse from more invasive procedures later on.
The scope is then removed slowly, and your horse will typically be back to normal within minutes.
如果使用了镇静剂,恢复可能会稍微长一些,但大多数马匹在没有任何并发症的情况下同一天就可以回家。
Is Equine Endoscopy Safe? Yes - when performed by a trained professional, equine endoscopy is considered very safe.
The equipment is designed to be smooth and gentle, and the risks are minimal.
That said, mild sedation always carries a small risk, especially for older or medically compromised horses.
一些马可能会在之后短时间内出现轻微的鼻部刺激或打喷嚏,但严重的副作用很少见。
Studies show that serious complications from sedation in horses occur in about

💡专业提示:如果您对这个过程不确定,可以询问您的兽医他们是否做过很多这样的手术,以及他们使用什么样的镇静剂。简单的对话可以大大帮助您对马匹的护理感到更有信心。

这个工具非常多功能。它可以发现你在外部或通过常规成像无法看到的问题。
所以,如果你的马有奇怪的症状,看起来不太对劲,这可能是弄清楚真正发生了什么的关键。
一些最常见的诊断条件包括:
(声带一侧的瘫痪)
- Dorsal displacement of the soft palate
- Airway inflammation or infections
- 胃溃疡
- Nasal tumors, polyps, or hematomas
- Choke (食道中的食物阻塞)
- Collapsed trachea or partial obstructions
- 异物,如干草、树枝或碎片
这些问题可能导致表现不佳、呼吸困难或慢性不适,但如果没有范围,它们往往会隐藏数周甚至数月。
Key Benefits of Using an Equine Endoscope Here’s a simple breakdown of why this tool has become such a staple in veterinary care:
Benefit | 为什么这很重要 |
Non-invasive | No cutting or surgery - the scope slides in gently. |
实时成像 | Vets see exactly what’s happening, not just guesses or shadows. |
Early diagnosis | Issues are caught before they become serious or permanent. |
Biopsie-Fähigkeit | Tissue samples can be taken during the exam, speeding up diagnosis. |
Foreign object removal | Scope can remove debris without surgery. |
快速恢复 | Most horses bounce back within minutes or hours. |
What Horse Owners Should Watch For Sometimes, symptoms can sneak up gradually, and it’s easy to chalk them up to fatigue, age, or even the weather.
But when certain signs keep coming back - or start to affect your horse’s daily routine - it might be time to consider an endoscopic exam.
🫁Breathing That Sounds Off During Work 如果你的马开始大声喘气、喘息或在鞍下发出奇怪的声音,请不要忽视它。
这可能指向喉咙或气道的问题,这在运动中才会变得明显。
🏇Sudden Drop in Performance When a normally energetic horse suddenly becomes sluggish or struggles to finish a familiar course, something internal could be holding them back.
内窥镜检查可以帮助揭示影响耐力或氧气摄入的结构性或功能性问题。
A bit of snorting or the occasional cough can be normal, but if it becomes a daily thing, especially with thick or smelly discharge, it’s worth a closer look.
慢性刺激或感染可能在上呼吸道中持续存在,而外部没有明显的肿胀。
如果您的马似乎在进食时感到窒息、咳出食物或多次出现窒息的迹象,这可能意味着食道有东西在收窄或刺激。
An endoscope allows the vet to examine the problem area safely and in real time.

One particularly valuable form of equine endoscopy is called 动态或地面内窥镜检查.
Instead of examining the horse at rest, the vet uses a special portable scope that stays in place while the horse is being ridden or exercised.
This method is especially useful for diagnosing airway collapse, soft palate issues, or abnormal throat movement that only happens under physical stress.
It’s commonly used in racehorses, jumpers, and eventers, but can be helpful for any working horse that’s underperforming without a clear explanation.
A study involving
195 纯种赛马发现其中34%在动态呼吸内窥镜检查中出现问题,包括软腭背侧移位和软骨不对称等情况。
这意味着大约每3匹马中就有1匹在运动时出现气道问题,而在静息时并没有。
This highlights how common (and valuable) the procedure is for discovering exercise-related airway issues that aren’t seen during rest.
如果您的马在工作时挣扎,但在休息时似乎没问题,请询问您的兽医动态内窥镜检查是否能揭示真正的问题,这是一种获取其他人可能忽视的答案的最佳方法之一。
Horses are incredibly expressive animals, but sometimes, their symptoms need a little help to be fully understood.
一台马用内窥镜为兽医提供了清晰、详细的内部结构视图,这些结构最为重要,从而实现更快的诊断、针对性的治疗和更顺利的恢复过程。

Stay curious, talk openly with your vet, and explore more guides like this on
Reescope, because informed owners make confident decisions.
What is the purpose of an endoscope? An endoscope helps vets see inside areas that can’t be viewed externally, like the throat or stomach. It’s used to spot issues early and make more accurate diagnoses without surgery.
What is the most common use of endoscopy in equines? 在马匹中,它通常用于检查呼吸道和喉咙,当出现呼吸困难或表现不佳时。它也广泛用于检测胃溃疡。
How does an endoscope work in veterinary? 它使用一个微小的摄像头和光源,位于一个柔性管的末端,将实时图像发送到屏幕上。这使得兽医能够精确地探索内部结构,并且对动物造成很小的不适。
How do they do an endoscopy on a horse? 兽医轻柔地将内窥镜插入马的鼻子或嘴里,通常会使用轻度镇静剂以保持马的平静。整个过程很快,并且在马站立时完成。
