Cystoscopy is performed to evaluate bladder and urethral abnormalities in horses. Bladder endoscopy is useful to determine the location of urethral rents or tears, evaluate urine production from both ureters, for the presence of pus or blood from the ureters, the presence of bladder wall abnormalities, urinary stones, sabulous urolithiasis, and any other problems that may affect the lower urinary tract. Some diseases that can be detected using cystoscopy are:

urethral rents or tears, usually resulting in bloody urine
bladder stones (uroliths) or sabulous urolithiasis
blood or pus coming from the ureters, indicating a problem with the kidney
tumors emanating from the bladder wall
bladder or urethral atony
