This presentation will discuss the use of endoscopy to diagnose and treat urological diseases in dogs. Although these procedures are performed by internal medicine specialists, it is important for general practitioners to understand the ins and outs, expected gains and potential outcomes of these procedures to be able to appropriately inform their clients.
Learning objectives include:
- Learn when to refer for an endoscopic evaluation
- Know the equipment needed to perform such evaluations
- Understand the indications for minimally invasive treatment of urologic diseases
- Be aware of the preparation before and monitoring after endoscopic evaluation or treatment
