RHINOSCOPY IN
DOGS & CATS

This Boxer presented with
with excessive discolored
nasal drainage.

Video rhinoscopy allows our veterinarians to view and evaluate nasal and sinus problems in far greater detail than with a standard rhinoscope. As with the other scoping procedures, the scope allows us evaluate the extent of disease, the presence of masses or foreign objects and determine treatment.

The scope is used to remove foreign objects from the nasal passages, take cultures, biopsy a tumor, and more.

We can print download and print images and store them in the patient's file for future comparison and evaluation.
