Endoscopy For Your Pet | Townsend Vet Albury

If your pet has swallowed something they shouldn’t have, surgery isn’t always the only option. Townsend Vet Albury uses Veterinary Endoscopy—a specialized camera—to look inside the body non-invasively. We can often retrieve foreign objects or take biopsies without making a single incision.

Endoscopy FAQs

Just a few common questions about Endoscopy. If there is something else you need to know just ask in the Contact Us form below!

  • Do all endoscopies need anaesthesia?

    Yes – this keeps pets still, comfortable and safe, and protects delicate tissues.

  • Can you remove a foreign body with endoscopy?

    Often yes (e.g., stomach, nose, ear, some bladder/urethral items). If not feasible, we’ll advise the safest alternative.

  • Endoscopy vs ultrasound/X-ray - what’s the difference?

    Imaging shows shapes; endoscopy shows surfaces and allows biopsies/treatment. They are complementary.

  • How long does it take?

    30–90 minutes depending on area and whether treatment/biopsies are performed.
