Point-of-Care Ultrasound at All Pets Medical Center: Fast, Accurate Answers for Your Pet’s Health
At All Pets Medical Center, we’re committed to delivering the highest level of care by using the best diagnostic tools available. One of the most valuable technologies we offer is point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS). This in-house imaging service allows our veterinarians to quickly and non-invasively assess your pet’s health, often during the same appointment.

POCUS is a versatile, painless procedure that uses sound waves to create real-time images of your pet’s internal organs and structures. Our trained veterinary team uses ultrasound in many ways to help pets feel better faster.

Our Point-of-Care Ultrasound Services
🫀 Cardiology Scans
We perform focused cardiac ultrasounds to assess heart function, detect valve issues, evaluate chamber size, and screen for diseases like cardiomyopathy. This is especially helpful for pets showing signs of heart disease (coughing, exercise intolerance, fainting) or for breeds at higher risk of cardiac conditions.

🐾 Abdominal and Thoracic (Sick Pet) Scans
When pets are sick, they can’t tell us what hurts. Abdominal and thoracic ultrasounds help us quickly evaluate organs such as the liver, kidneys, spleen, bladder, stomach, intestines, and lungs. This is invaluable for:

Vomiting or diarrhea

Difficulty breathing

Unexplained weight loss

Suspected fluid buildup in the chest or abdomen

Trauma cases

With POCUS, we can make rapid, informed decisions about treatment plans or referrals.

🩺 Wellness Screening
Ultrasound isn’t just for sick pets! We also use it in preventive care. Routine abdominal screenings in older pets can help detect early changes in organs that might not yet cause symptoms. Early detection leads to better outcomes.

🐶 Reproductive Tracking
For breeders or owners of pregnant animals, we offer reproductive ultrasound to:

Confirm pregnancy

Estimate fetal counts

Track fetal development

Monitor for complications

This helps ensure healthier pregnancies and deliveries.

Why Point-of-Care Ultrasound Matters
POCUS is fast, safe, and comfortable for pets. It provides immediate insights that can guide treatment, reduce the need for invasive procedures, and improve outcomes. Having this capability in-house means your pet gets answers quickly, often without needing to travel to a specialty hospital.

At All Pets Medical Center, we believe in combining compassionate care with advanced technology. Our point-of-care ultrasound service is just one of the ways we work to keep your pets healthy, happy, and by your side for as long as possible.

🏥 Looking for a safer, less painful spay surgery or a way to prevent bloat in your dog?
We’ve got you covered—right here in College Station.

At All Pets Veterinary Medical Center, we now offer laparoscopic spay and prophylactic gastropexy procedures—performed in-house by our own experienced veterinary team. No traveling surgeons. No outside referrals. Just expert care from doctors you know and trust.

🔹 What is laparoscopic spay?
It’s a minimally invasive alternative to traditional spay surgery using tiny incisions, a camera, and specialized tools. It causes less pain, speeds up healing, and lowers the risk of complications.

🔹 What is gastropexy?
This preventive procedure protects large, deep-chested dogs (like Great Danes, Shepherds, and Dobermans) from a life-threatening condition called gastric dilatation-volvulus (GDV)—also known as bloat.

🐶 Both procedures are often done together under one anesthesia event for maximum benefit and convenience.

📍 If you’re in College Station, Bryan, or nearby, we’re one of the only clinics offering this advanced surgical option in-house.

📞 Call us at (979) 696-4411 to schedule a consult or ask if your pet is a good candidate.

👉 Because your pet deserves modern care—without leaving town.

Blocked Airways, Bold Fixes-Pugs, Frenchies, Bulldogs

At All Pets Veterinary Medical Center, we understand the unique challenges faced by brachycephalic breeds—dogs with short, flattened faces such as Bulldogs, Pugs, Boston Terriers, and French Bulldogs. While these breeds are beloved for their charming looks and playful personalities, they are also prone to a condition known as Brachycephalic Obstructive Airway Syndrome (BOAS), which can severely impact their ability to breathe comfortably.

Our team is proud to offer advanced surgical correction for brachycephalic dogs suffering from this common but serious condition.

Why Choose Us?

With over 35 years of surgical experience, Dr. Agnes Rupley leads our surgical team with a commitment to excellence, compassion, and clinical expertise. We treat each patient as if they were our own and take pride in helping brachycephalic dogs live healthier, more comfortable lives.

If your dog is showing signs of breathing difficulties, don’t wait. Contact All Pets Veterinary Medical Center today to schedule a consultation and learn how we can help your dog breathe easier, sleep better, and enjoy life to the fullest.
