Endoscopic Spay & Gastropexy: Minimally Invasive Surgery Performed In-House at All Pets Veterinary Medical Center

Minimally Invasive Surgery Performed In-House at All Pets Veterinary Medical Center

If you’re searching for a veterinary clinic in College Station or Bryan, TX that offers laparoscopic spay or gastropexy, you’re in the right place. At All Pets Veterinary Medical Center, we proudly provide minimally invasive laparoscopic spay and gastropexy surgeries—performed in-house by Dr. Agnes Rupley.


What Is a Laparoscopic Spay?

A laparoscopic spay (also called an endoscopic spay) is a modern surgical technique that removes the ovaries using a camera and small instruments through tiny incisions. It is less invasive than traditional spay surgery and results in:

  • Smaller incisions and less post-operative pain

  • Faster healing and reduced risk of complications

  • Minimal scarring and quicker return to normal activity

Clients often search for laparoscopic spay for dogs in College Station because they want safer, more comfortable options—and that’s exactly what we offer.


What Is Gastropexy and Why Is It Important?

A gastropexy is a preventive surgery that attaches the stomach to the abdominal wall to stop it from twisting—a condition known as gastric dilatation-volvulus (GDV) or bloat. This is especially critical in large, deep-chested breeds like:

  • Great Danes

  • German Shepherds

  • Dobermans

  • Standard Poodles

  • Weimaraners

By combining a laparoscopic spay and prophylactic gastropexy in one procedure, your pet can benefit from both reduced surgical risk and long-term protection from GDV.


Why Choose Our Veterinary Team for Lap Spay in Bryan–College Station?

At All Pets, laparoscopic spay and gastropexy procedures are performed entirely by our in-house veterinary staff—not a traveling surgeon. That means:

Breathe Easy: Specialized Surgery for Brachycephalic Dogs at All Pets Veterinary Medical Center

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.

What Is BOAS?

Brachycephalic Obstructive Airway Syndrome is caused by structural abnormalities in the airway. Common issues include:

  • Stenotic nares (narrowed nostrils)

  • Elongated soft palate

  • Everted laryngeal saccules

  • Hypoplastic trachea (narrow windpipe)

These abnormalities can lead to labored breathing, snoring, overheating, coughing, vomiting, and even collapse after mild exertion.

How We Help

Our veterinarians have extensive experience in soft tissue surgery and have successfully improved the quality of life for many brachycephalic dogs through corrective procedures. Using advanced surgical tools, we are equipped to safely open the airway, reduce respiratory distress, and allow your dog to breathe and play more freely. We’re also equipped with advanced pain management options to ensure your pet’s comfortable recovery from surgery.

What to Expect

Every patient begins with a comprehensive physical exam and pre-surgical consultation. If surgery is indicated, we’ll discuss:

  • The specific anatomical issues affecting your pet

  • Recommended corrective procedures

  • Expected outcomes and recovery time

Our post-operative care includes comprehensive patient recovery and a detailed discharge plan to ensure a smooth recovery at home.

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.
