Airway Endoscopy
Sometimes your horse may need a detailed examination of its respiratory system, this is best carried out using an endoscope. We have a portable endoscopy unit which means we can examine your horse out on the yard or at our hospital to help diagnose and treat any respiratory disorders. (Mains electric is required for this procedure to take place)
