Gastroscopy and endoscopy

These scopes vary in length allowing us to view the respiratory tract, to assess the function of the larynx and other upper respiratory tract disorders in the performance horse.

As well as allowing samples to be taken from the trachea and bronchi in horses with breathing difficulties.

Gastroscopy enables the stomach and proximal intestine to be analysed for ulceration. The scopes can also check the bladder and urethers in horse which have difficulty urinating or blood in the urine.
