Veterinary Endoscopy
A veterinary endoscopy is a non-invasive procedure that involves passing a tube with a camera on one end through your pet’s mouth to view what’s happening inside their throat, intestines and body. If you think your pooch or kitty may have swallowed something they shouldn’t or they haven’t been well, it can give us, as your vet, valuable information into what’s happening and what we need to do without or before surgery.
At Plus One Vet, we can perform animal endoscopies in Brisbane as part of our diagnosis and treatment plan. Being able to have everything done in one clinic gives you peace of mind and keeps your pet calm. Book online today or give us a call for emergency appointments.
When Your Pet May Need an Veterinary Endoscopy in Brisbane
By being able to see what’s going on inside your pet’s stomach or intestines without surgery, we can find the problem and the right treatment. It’s a gentle, low-stress way to get clear answers for a range of problems, including:
Abnormal Growths & Tumours
Sometimes pets develop small lumps or growths inside their digestive system that can’t be seen on an x-ray. While we can’t see them, it can be the cause of unexplained weight loss or tummy pain. A veterinary endoscopy helps us look inside safely, check for any unusual tissue and collect small samples for resting without animal surgery.
Blockages
Pets love to explore with their mouth, but it can get them in trouble with swallowing toys, bones or string. An endoscopy helps us find and often remove these blockages safely, easing pain and avoiding invasive surgery. Once cleared, your pet can get back to eating and playing again as quickly as possible.
Chronic Vomiting & Diarrhoea
When a pet keeps vomiting or has ongoing diarrhoea, it’s often a sign of irritation or inflammation in the stomach or intestines. With an endoscopy, we can see what’s happening and even take samples for testing. Knowing the cause makes it easier to treat the problem and get your pet comfortable again.
Stomach Inflammation & Ulcers
Ulcers and inflammation in the stomach can make pets lose their interest in food or act a bit strange after eating. Being able to see the stomach lining up close allows us to confirm what’s going on, so we can give them the right treatment without having to go through surgery if it’s not needed.

What to Expect When You Book In For a Veterinary Endoscopy ‘Near Me’
Clear Answers With Real-Time Imaging
As the endoscope moves through the digestive tract, our vet watched detailed images on a screen in real time. This live view makes it easier to spot issues, like inflammation, ulcers or foreign objects, right away. The clear visuals help guide the next treatment steps and give you a better understanding and peace of mind of what’s going on with your precious fur baby.
Using the Endoscope to Explore & Diagnose
Once your pet is calm and ready, our vet will gently guide the endoscope through the area being examined. The camera allows a clear look at the stomach or intestines so we can check for anything unusual. If we see inflammation, irritation or tissue out of place, we can collect small samples to test during the procedure.
Gentle Sedation to Keep Your Pet Comfortable
To help your pet stay relaxed, our vet will give them a light sedation before starting the endoscopy. It keeps them calm and still while allowing us to work safely. Most pets wake up soon after and are back to their usual selves later that day.

Endoscopy for Pets of All Shapes & Sizes
Endoscopy is suitable for cats, dogs and even some small pets, like guinea pigs and birds, although cats and dogs are the most common pets we perform this low-stress, gentle procedure on.
How endoscopy can help cats with digestive issues.
Cats often keep their discomfort to themselves, so signs like eating less or vomiting can easily go unnoticed. An endoscopy gives our vets a clear view inside their stomach and intestines to uncover inflammation, ulcers or hidden blockages. It’s a gentle way to find answers quickly and start treatment that helps your cat feel well again.
Using endoscopy to diagnose dog stomach problems.
Dogs tend to show signs of stomach pain more openly, such as through restlessness, vomiting or loss of appetite. With an endoscopy showing us what’s going on inside, we can detect irritation or swallowed objects, guiding us towards the right treatment plan. With early care, most dogs recover quickly and return to their playful, energetic selves.
