Endoscopy is a procedure which uses a video camera to image the horse's airways
allowing us to identify problems, take diagnostic samples and bacterial cultures,
and perform therapeutic procedures.This procedure is essential
in diagnosing the cause of chronic respiratory diseases and infections.
Endoscopy is a minimally invasive procedure, which generally requires only light sedation.
Race/performance horses are more susceptible to problems in the respiratory tract.
These problems can lead to partial obstruction of the airway causing decreased
airflow, noise and poor performance. Many of these problems can be
fixed surgically.
