Acknowledgments

This work would not have been possible without a great number of people and animals who collectively made this attainable. I simply put it to paper.

First to my parents for bringing me into this world and for their unending support, encouragement, and love.

To Dr. Don and Betty Bailey for introducing me to Veterinary Medicine, for getting me into Veterinary School, and for their continued support throughout my career.

To all my teachers and professors, from my first‐grade teacher Mrs. Mathews, through high school and college for their efforts to educate and stimulate me but especially to Drs. Jim Creed, Glenn Severin, Pat Chase, Harry Gorman, and Henry Swan.

To my colleagues who referred the cases that provided me with the material for learning these techniques. And to the clients who entrusted me with their beloved pets.

To Mr. Karl Storz, his daughter Ms. Sible Storz, and his grandson Dr. Karl‐Christian Storz for their interest in Veterinary Medicine and support of our profession. To all the staff of the Veterinary Division of the Karl Storz Endoscope Company for their educational endeavors and instrumentation development for our profession. Especially to Dr. Christopher Chamness for his support, encouragement, and friendship.

To all the younger veterinarians who have picked up the reins and are driving all aspects of endoscopy forward at an ever‐increasing rate. I am thrilled that I now only see smoke and taillights. It is a thrill to watch.

And most importantly to my wife and son for their patience and for allowing me the time to complete this project.
