 Although it is a reliable diagnostic tool, endoscopy is expensive, invasive and limited to the gastric region.

It's important that your veterinarian make a complete and accurate diagnosis as quickly as possible. But let's face it. Existing methods of diagnosing digestive tract conditions are limited.
Gastric endoscopy is reliable, but costly, and few veterinarians possess a 3-meter endoscope. Further, endoscopy cannot reach the hindgut to help in the diagnosis of colonic ulcers.
Many veterinarians and owners alike rely on symptoms to guide their diagnosis. But this approach is hindered by the fact that symptoms typically associated with digestive tract injury may also be associated with a variety of other conditions. And using treatment as diagnosis requires incurring an expense while waiting days, or even weeks, to determine if the course of action was the right one. By then, it may be too late.
The SUCCEED® Equine Fecal Blood Test™ is an important tool to aid in the veterinarian's diagnosis of digestive tract conditions, by providing objective data that indicates issues throughout the GI tract in just minutes. |
