If your pet has ongoing nasal discharge, sneezing, congestion, or nosebleeds, advanced evaluation may be needed. At Pewaukee Veterinary Service in Pewaukee, WI, we offer rhinoscopy for dogs and cats to help diagnose nasal and sinus conditions using a minimally invasive approach.

What is Rhinoscopy?
Rhinoscopy is a diagnostic procedure in which a small endoscope (camera) is inserted into the nasal cavity while your pet is under anesthesia. This allows our veterinarians to evaluate the nasal passages in real time, identify abnormalities, and collect diagnostic samples when needed.
What Rhinoscopy Can Help Diagnose
Rhinoscopy is commonly recommended for pets with persistent or unexplained nasal symptoms and may help identify:
- Chronic sneezing or nasal congestion
- Ongoing nasal discharge (clear, thick, or bloody)
- Nasal foreign material
- Nasal masses or tumors
- Fungal infections of the nasal cavity
- Chronic rhinitis or inflammation
