Endoscopy Services: Advanced Minimally Invasive Care
Diagnosing internal health issues used to mean invasive exploratory surgery, long recovery times, and painful incisions. At Animal Medical Centre, we have revolutionized this process with our state-of-the-art veterinary endoscopy services in Karachi. Using a high-tech fiber-optic camera tube, our specialists can visually examine your pet’s esophagus, stomach, and upper intestines with incredible detail, all without making a single cut. This "keyhole" technology allows us to diagnose complex gastrointestinal conditions—such as ulcers, tumors, or inflammatory bowel disease (IBD)—with a level of precision that X-rays simply cannot match.
The most life-saving application of our endoscopy unit is non-surgical foreign body removal. We all know that dogs and cats can be curious eaters. If your pet has swallowed a sock, a bone, or a toy, immediate surgery isn't always the only answer. In many cases, we can use the endoscope to locate and gently retrieve the object through the mouth, saving your pet from a major abdominal operation. This means less pain, lower risk of infection, and a significantly faster return to normal life; often, pets can go home the very same day. Beyond the stomach, our video endoscopy is vital for taking precise tissue biopsies to diagnose chronic illnesses accurately. We believe in using the safest, least invasive methods possible to restore your pet’s health. If your pet is suffering from unexplained weight loss or chronic vomiting, trust our advanced technology to find the answer without the trauma of open surgery.
Our endoscopic capabilities extend far beyond the digestive tract. We frequently perform rhinoscopy and bronchoscopy to help pets suffering from chronic sneezing, nasal discharge, or unexplained coughing. In Karachi’s dusty environment, respiratory irritants are common, and tiny foreign objects like grass seeds can easily become lodged in a pet’s nose or throat, causing immense distress. Our specialized, ultra-slim cameras allow us to visualize these delicate airways safely to locate and remove obstructions or detect polyps that traditional X-rays often miss. The biggest advantage for you and your pet is the recovery time. Since there are no surgical incisions to heal, there are no stitches to monitor and no "cone of shame" required for weeks. Although the procedure requires short-duration general anesthesia to ensure your pet remains still, most patients are ready to go home the very same day, typically feeling alert and hungry.
