A 喉部内窥镜 是一个细长、柔韧的管子,尖端有一个微小的摄像头和灯光。
它旨在轻柔地滑入您宠物的喉咙(有时是鼻子),以获得气道、声带以及有时上气管或食道的清晰实时视图。
This tool gives vets a way to 查看内部情况而无需手术.
- 炎症或肿胀
- 肿瘤或生长
- Foreign objects (like a piece of stick or toy)
- Collapsing trachea
- 喉部瘫痪 (声带)
- Infection ou irritation
And unlike X-rays or ultrasounds, it allows for direct visualization - the vet can literally look at the problem in real time.
When Do Pets Need Throat Endoscopy? Not every sneeze or cough means your pet needs a scope. But certain signs make this diagnostic tool especially useful.
Your vet might suggest a throat endoscope if your pet shows:
- 慢性咳嗽或呕吐
- Difficulty swallowing food or water
- Sudden changes in barking or meowing
- Loud breathing or snoring during sleep
- Choking episodes
- Suspected inhaled or swallowed object
这些迹象并不总是意味着严重的事情,但它们确实值得仔细观察。
A senior golden retriever began breathing heavily at night and refused to eat dry food.
Initial imaging didn’t reveal any clear issues, so the veterinarian performed a throat endoscopy.
That’s the kind of early insight this tool can provide.
Worried about similar symptoms in your pet? Ask your vet if a throat endoscope could help catch the problem early, it might be the key to faster treatment and better recovery.

如果您的兽医建议进行喉部内窥镜检查,您可能会想知道实际程序中会发生什么。让我们来逐步了解一下。
在手术前,您的宠物通常需要禁食几个小时。这有助于降低麻醉期间的任何风险。
在某些情况下,兽医可能还会提前进行血液检测,特别是对于年长的动物或那些有其他健康状况的动物。
为了让您的宠物在手术过程中保持舒适和静止,给予轻度麻醉。
它通常非常安全,并在整个过程中进行严格监控,以确保一切顺利进行。
Once your pet is sedated, the vet gently inserts the endoscope - a small, flexible tube - through the mouth or nose.
相机位于尖端,向屏幕发送实时视频流,使兽医能够实时清晰地查看您宠物的喉咙。
在检查过程中,兽医会寻找炎症、狭窄、损伤或异常生长的迹象。
他们还检查喉咙中是否有任何可能卡住的异物,例如草籽、骨头碎片或小玩具的碎片。
如果他们发现异常组织,他们可能会决定进一步观察或采集样本。
Some endoscopes are equipped with tiny tools that allow the vet to take biopsies or even remove foreign objects right then and there.
This means your pet can often avoid more invasive surgery and recover more quickly.
大多数宠物在手术后15到30分钟内醒来,并准备在当天回家。
Your vet will give you clear instructions for at-home care, including any medications or follow-up steps your pet might need.
Is It Safe? What You Should Know A throat endoscopy is considered a 微创手术, which means it doesn’t involve cutting or major recovery.
When performed by an experienced veterinary team, complications are extremely rare, and the benefits often far outweigh any temporary discomfort.
当然,任何程序都不可能完全没有风险。
由于喉部内窥镜检查通常需要轻度麻醉,因此总是存在一定程度的风险,尤其是对于年长的宠物或那些有潜在疾病的宠物。
在少数情况下,范围可能无法到达某些深层区域,或者炎症可能使得难以获得清晰的视野。
一些宠物在之后可能会感到轻微的酸痛或咳嗽,但这通常会在一天内自行缓解。
如果您感到不确定,请不要犹豫,寻求第二意见。
At
Reescope, 我们始终鼓励宠物主人保持知情并提出问题 - 你最了解你的宠物,如果有什么不对劲,提出意见是完全可以的。
Benefits of Throat Endoscopy in Pets 让我们来分析一下为什么这个工具在兽医诊断中如此具有变革性。
Benefit | 它对您的宠物意味着什么 |
No Surgery Needed | 诊断是通过使用小管而不是侵入性手术来完成的。 |
实时成像 | Vets get a live view inside the throat, offering precise insights. |
Foreign Object Retrieval | Objects like grass seeds or small toys can often be removed without surgery. |
Tissue Sampling | 活检可以在同一程序中进行,以便更快地诊断。 |
快速恢复 | Most pets recover within hours and can return home the same day. |
No tool is perfect - and while throat endoscopy is powerful, it’s not always the final answer.
- 有限的覆盖范围:可能无法到达肺部或胃的深层。
- Image clarity: Inflammation or debris can block the view.
- May require follow-ups: Biopsy results can take time.
Other Tools Vets Might Use For structural changes or deeper views.

不确定当您的宠物开始出现喉咙相关症状时该如何回应?感到不确定是完全正常的,但您可以采取一些关键措施来预防问题的发生。
Start by watching for red flags.
If your pet suddenly develops persistent coughing fits, gasping, or noisy breathing, take note.

当这些症状持续超过24到48小时时,咨询您的兽医是个好主意——喉部内窥镜检查可能是获取答案的下一步。
它还帮助提前准备一些重要的问题。
You might ask your vet what they’re hoping to find, whether biopsies will be taken, how long the recovery typically takes, and what risks you should be aware of.
