Gulf Coast Veterinary Specialists (GCVS)

We conduct in-house bloodwork, including CBCs and chemistry panels, alongside point-of-care testing, to rapidly diagnose diseases, monitor organ function, and guide treatment decisions for critically ill pets.

We routinely conduct digital X-rays (radiography), including fluoroscopy and advanced imaging, to assess internal organs, bones, and complex areas like the brain and spine for accurate diagnosis and treatment planning.

We perform ultrasound imaging to diagnose and monitor a variety of internal conditions with precision, utilizing board-certified sonographers and advanced technology to provide minimally invasive insights into abdominal, cardiac, and reproductive health.

We provide foreign body removal through diagnostic imaging-guided endoscopy and laparotomy procedures, addressing gastrointestinal obstructions and other emergencies threatening pet health.

We provide 24/7 emergency stabilization with dedicated overnight staff at both our Houston and NASA Parkway locations, ensuring round-the-clock care for critically ill or injured pets requiring immediate medical attention, including advanced diagnostics and life-saving procedures.

We offer hospitalization and 24-hour monitoring in our state-of-the-art ICU, equipped with continuous vital sign monitoring, advanced respiratory support, and life-saving therapies like ventilation, oxygen therapy, and nutritional support for patients in critical condition.

Our critical care services include oxygen therapy, such as high-flow oxygen support and mechanical ventilation, to stabilize patients experiencing respiratory distress, shock, or severe trauma.

We administer IV fluid therapy as a critical component of emergency and critical care treatment, ensuring proper hydration and supporting organ function during illness, surgery, or dehydration.

We specialize in pain management using the latest trends in veterinary anesthesia and pain control, tailored to each pet’s needs. Our team monitors patients throughout procedures and recovery to ensure they remain comfortable and safe from routine surgeries to complex cases.

We provide chemotherapy and radiation oncology treatments, including EBRT (external beam radiation therapy) and palliative care options for cancers affecting skin, brain, gastrointestinal systems, and more, using precise imaging-guided protocols.

We utilize rehabilitation services like underwater treadmills, massage therapy, and physical therapy to help pets regain strength and mobility. Our rehabilitation team works closely with owners and primary vets on tailored recovery plans including wheelchair support when needed.

We offer hydrotherapy via an underwater treadmill as part of our rehabilitation services, designed to safely reduce joint stress while improving muscle strength and restoring mobility for pets recovering from injury or surgery.
