SPECIAL PROCEDURES AND EQUIPMENT At Veterinary Medical Referral Clinic procedures that require special equipment are offered for the diagnosis or treatment of patients. ULTRASOUNDOne of the procedures that is available at Veterinary Medical Clinic is ultrasound examination. Ultrasound is a non-invasive way to view internal organs and locate masses. Use of ultrasound to obtain biopsies can avoid unnecessary surgery. ENDOSCOPY Endoscopy is a procedure that is used to view the interior of the stomach, intestinal tract, nose and urinary tract. In some cases a foreign body such as a blade of grass, string, or other swallowed or inhaled object can be removed without surgery by using the endoscope, again saving a pet from unnecessary surgery.
