A swallow test, also known as a fluoroscopy swallow study, is used to help diagnose and evaluate any potential problems with swallowing. This type of test may be recommended if you are experiencing difficulty or pain while swallowing food, have food sticking in your throat, or have specific breathing difficulties. The exam results can help your doctor determine the best treatment for your condition. If you have a pet, they may also need to undergo a fluoroscopy swallow study to diagnose any potential swallowing issues. This test can help identify problems such as foreign object ingestion or an obstruction in the throat that could be causing difficulty swallowing food. With the information from this test, your veterinarian can then recommend the best treatment plan for your pet.
