Endoscopios para Animales: Lo Que Todo Dueño de Mascotas Debe Saber
Utworzono 10.20
When your dog has swallowed something it was not supposed to, or your cat has been having stomach problems for weeks, your vet may recommend something called an endoscopic scope.
Sounds high-tech, right? It is. However, do not panic, we will tell you what it is.
This device allows vets to view inside the body of your pet without surgery. It is able to identify issues, assist in treatment and even eliminate hazardous items all by using a small camera and a flexible tube.
msgid "What Is an Endoscopic Scope?" msgstr "什么是内窥镜？"
An endoscopic scope (or simply endoscope) is a small, flexible pipe with an inbuilt small camera and a light at the end. It is designed to be inserted into the body of your pet gently by mouth, nose, or any other natural opening so that you can see inside in real time.
These scopes are typically used by the medical profession and in veterinary medicine they are modified to suit the size and shape of an animal. The idea is to provide a real time view inside the stomach, lungs, colon or bladder of your pet without cutting anything open.
Why Vets Use It, and Not Surgery
Think of this; your dog has been vomiting the last few days. Your veterinarian is assuming that there is something in the stomach that may be a toy, or a bone. Rather than doing surgery (where you have to open the abdomen), your vet can place your pet under sedation, then run the endoscope through the mouth and view the object on a screen.
那就是为什么内窥镜被称为一种微创工具。它不使用巨大的切口，风险较小，并且产生快速的结果。

They take real-time, high-resolution, color photos of the organs of your pet. This lets your vet:
- Spot inflammation, ulcers, tumors or foreign bodies.
- Sample (biopsy) tissues.
- Look at bleeding, obstructions or excesses.
- Monitor the progress of chronic illness such as inflammatory bowel disease.

msgstr "当你的兽医建议你进行内窥镜检查时，你可能会想知道幕后发生了什么。我将一步一步带你了解整个过程，让你知道该期待什么。"
```
Step 1: Ваш питомец проверен и подготовлен
Your vet will undertake physical examination and perhaps some blood tests before anything is done to ensure that your pet is well enough to undergo sedation. It is normal and nothing can go wrong.
Then, depending on what is being examined, such as chronic vomitingor difficulty urinating, your vet will choose which type of endoscope to use and where it should enter (mouth, nose, urethra, etc.).
Your pet might have to starve a few hours ahead of time, particularly when the stomach is at stake.
Step 2: Se administra anestesia o sedación
Your pet will be lightly sedated or completely anesthetized to make things stress-free and still. This ensures that they remain relaxed, do not experience discomfort and do not move during the process.
Sedation is well tolerated by most animals and your veterinarian will watch the breathing, heart rate, and temperature of the animal throughout the process.
Step 3: El Alcance Se Inserta Suavemente
After making your pet very relaxed, the vet will carefully insert the thin, flexible endoscope into the body of your pet. The direction it takes is determined by what must be investigated:
- In case of problems with the digestive system, it passes through the mouth and the stomach.
- In case of any breathing difficulties, it is inserted in the nose or windpipe.
- When the problem is regarding the urination or the bladder, the scope passes through the urethra.
It may sound serious but the extent is configured to move softly through the body without any harm. No cutting, no stitches, no outside wounds.
Step 4: Se toman imágenes en tiempo real
The small camera at its end transmits a live video stream to one of the monitors as the scope moves around within. Your vet is also monitoring the screen attentively, with an eye on anything out of the ordinary, such as redness, swelling, ulcers, bleeding, tumors, or other things that are not supposed to be present there.
Step 5: Tratamiento o Muestreo (Donde Sea Necesario)
When your vet notices something suspicious, then they can take immediate action through the use of small tools by inserting them into the scope.
💡作为一个例子，假设你的狗吞下了网球的一部分，兽医可以轻松地抓住并取出它，而无需手术。如果他们注意到一个看起来发炎或异常的区域，他们可以取一个组织样本（活检）进行实验室分析。
msgid "It implies that you can get a diagnosis and treatment in one session."
msgstr "这意味着您可以在一次会话中获得诊断和治疗。"
Step 6: 恢复与回家
Then, once the procedure is complete, your pet is taken to a warm, quiet recovery room where the sedation wears off. The majority of animals are up in 30 to 60 minutes and returned to the house on the same day. There are no cuts, so no wound care is necessary, and healing is normally quick.
Other pets may be a bit dawsy or sore throated as the scope may have been through the mouth but this can pass in less than a day. Your vet will provide you with easy to follow care instructions and inform you when your test results (assuming there are any) will be available.
When and Why Is Endoscopy Used in Animals?
Endoscopy isn’t something a vet uses casually, it’s a tool for when your pet needs real answers. Let’s break down exactly when and why this method is chosen, and how it can make a real difference in your animal’s health.
Chronic Vomiting or Digestive Issues
If your dog or cat keeps vomiting or has ongoing diarrhea, your vet might suspect something like inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), ulcers, or even early-stage cancer.
Endoscopy helps by giving a clear, up-close look inside the stomach or intestines, and allows for precise biopsies to be taken, all without needing open surgery.
🟢We’ve seencountless cases where pets went through weeks of trial-and-error with medications or diet changes. Endoscopy helped cut through the guesswork and gave vets the answers they needed, fast.
⚡Pro Tip: Si su mascota ha tenido síntomas gastrointestinales durante más de dos semanas sin mejoría, podría ser el momento de explorar esta opción.
Foreign Object Removal
This is one of the most common emergency uses for an endoscope. Whether it’s a swallowed sock, string, bone fragment, or toy, pets get into things they shouldn’t.
Instead of opening the abdomen, your vet can use an endoscope to locate and remove the object through the mouth or rectum, depending on where it’s stuck. We’ve helped vets treat cases where the animal was able to return home the same day.

⚡Pro Tip: Siempre actúa rápidamente. Cuanto antes se retire un objeto tragado, más seguro será para tu mascota.

Persistent Sneezing or Nasal Runny Nose
Endoskopie bedeutet nicht immer den Verdauungstrakt. Ihr Tierarzt kann auch mit den richtigen Werkzeugen in die Atemwege und die Nasenlöcher schauen, um das Vorhandensein von Polypen, Tumoren oder Pilzen festzustellen. Solche Probleme sind mit routinemäßigen Bildgebungsverfahren, insbesondere bei Katzen, schwer zu erkennen.
The vets can use a rhinoscope to enter through the nostrils and have a live picture of the issue, which they can often treat right there, particularly when it involves a foreign object such as grass or debris.
Urinary Tract Problems
In case of difficulty in urine passing, blood in the urine, and recurrent infections of your pet, the bladder and urethra may also be studied with the help of endoscopy. A cystoscope can be used by your vet to locate bladder stones, inflammation or even tumors that would otherwise be undetected by other imaging.
We have observed this particularly in females dogs where some problems are more readily visualized and treated by direct endoscopy.
Early Disease Detection
Sometimes, the signs are vague, a bit of weight loss, low energy, or changes in appetite. Endoscopy can help detect hidden conditions like cancer, ulcers, or infection before they escalate. This kind of early intervention can make all the difference in long-term treatment and recovery.
Types of Veterinary Endoscopic Scopes
There isn’t just one type of endoscope for every situation. Vets choose from several kinds depending on your pet’s symptoms and what part of the body needs to be explored.
Here's a simple breakdown:
Scope Type | Used For | When Vets Use It |
Gastroskop | Stomach and upper intestines | For vomiting, suspected foreign bodies, ulcers, or inflammation in the digestive tract. |
Colonoscope | Colon und Dickdarm | To explore chronic diarrhea, bloody stools, or screen for polyps and tumors. |
Bronchoscope | Trachea et pulmones | When your pet has chronic coughing, breathing issues, or possible lung infection. |
Rhinoscope | Nasal passages and sinuses | For sneezing, nasal discharge, or when there might be a foreign object or growth. |
Cystoscope | Bladder and urinary tract | To check for stones, inflammation, or structural issues in pets with urination problems. |
Otoscope | Ears (canal and eardrum) | Used to inspect for chronic ear infections, masses, or mites not visible from outside. |
Laparoskop | Abdominal cavity (through incision) | Sometimes used for spays, biopsies, or when a vet needs a wide internal view with minimal surgery. |
If your clinic is already using modern veterinary scopes like these, that’s a great sign.
