Now you can see what we see in your pet's ears!
With the purchase of a video otoscopy and endoscopy system, we can now see diseases and abnormalities in pets' ears with ease, and we can display them on a video screen, so that you can see what we're looking at. This makes it much easier for us to explain what we need to do to solve most ear problems in our patients.
The system also has rigid endoscopes (like high-tech telescopes) that we can use to examine the nasal passages, as well as the urethra and urinary bladder of female dogs. This tool will allow us to diagnose diseases of these structures much more easily than in the past.
We can even record video and still photos onto a CD for pet owners to take home and view on their computers. For example, if a pet comes in for irrigation of one or both ear canals due to the presence of severe infection, wax accumulations, or middle ear infections, we can record video images so that the pet owner can understand exactly what was done.
We are very pleased to be able to offer this service for our patients, because it allows us to take even better care of them, and to solve their problems more efficiently.
