The City for All Seasons

Singles, families and tourists are flocking to Boca Raton, a beautiful city of just under 100,000. Conveniently located in South Florida just 45 miles north of Miami, Boca Raton can boast that it was the birthplace of the corporate behemoth IBM’s first personal computer as well as other subsequent technologies invented by that company. Residents and visitors alike love the city’s relaxed beach culture as well as its many luxury shopping venues.

Work opportunities also abound in this city. Major employers include the ODP Corporation of Office Depot and Office Max fame as well as Florida Atlantic University. In fact, the city is home to over 30 corporate headquarters. Architecturally speaking, Boca Raton was the brainchild of city planner Addison Mizner, whose goal was to transform it from a sleepy farm town into a fantastic resort unrivalled by any other in the United States. Although social and economic factors combined to curtail most of his aspirations, Boca Raton still owes a lot to the Mizner legacy, including its tree-lined Mediterranean Revival style.

In short, Boca Raton has something for everyone: five miles of breath-taking Atlantic coastline, 47 parks and 1,650 acres of recreational space with nature trails and waterfront activities. Often touted as one of the safest cities in the country, Boca Raton has some of the lowest property tax rates in the state.

Our Boca Raton Emergency Vet Services

When you bring your dog or cat to AEUCC, you will be able to rely on a facility that is ready to meet the emergency needs of your pet.

Our services fall into the following major categories:

• Lab Work. To effectively treat any condition, it’s crucial to first understand its specifics and severity. Regular discussions with you about your pet’s health history and current condition, along with our laboratory’s resources, are key in gathering the necessary information for our team to begin treatment. We employ various tests such as complete blood count (CBC), blood chemistry panels, urinalysis, and coagulation profiles to assess the proper functioning of your pet’s internal systems. Our on-site analysis capability allows our veterinarians and team to rapidly acquire the data needed for prompt and accurate triage, diagnosis, and treatment.
• Diagnostic imaging. Analyzing blood and urine samples is just one method of understanding the health of internal organs and systems. We also utilize advanced imaging technologies to obtain detailed visual representations for further insights. Our tools include radiography (X-ray imaging), ultrasonography, echocardiography, and Doppler ultrasound. By integrating these images with laboratory data and the information you share with us, we are equipped to make educated decisions about the most appropriate immediate emergency care for your pet and to outline a comprehensive plan for their long-term recovery and pain management.
• Cardiology. When your pet shows signs of heart disease or related cardiac issues, prompt attention is crucial. Our team of skilled and empathetic veterinarians, technicians, and cardiac experts are equipped with the necessary tools and knowledge to quickly and accurately diagnose your pet and develop a customized treatment plan. A thorough physical examination of your dog or cat is followed by a detailed discussion with you about its symptoms and medical history, allowing us to gain a full understanding of the situation. To gather extensive information on your pet’s heart health and identify any abnormalities, we employ techniques such as blood pressure measurement, resting and ambulatory electrocardiography, and echocardiography.
• Hospitalization. If your pet needs constant supervision, intravenous treatments, or surgical intervention, they will be admitted as an in-patient. Boca Raton Emergency Vet, with its state-of-the-art facilities, is fully prepared to provide the necessary care for pain relief and to facilitate a speedy and thorough recovery. Our team, comprising veterinarians, veterinary nurses, technicians, and external specialists, is exceptionally skilled in handling a wide range of complex health issues, day and night. We have access to the latest diagnostic tools, continuous monitoring systems, and medical resources, all operational 24/7 to ensure any changes in your pet’s condition are promptly identified and treated. During this challenging period for both you and your pet, our empathetic team will support you through every phase of the diagnosis, treatment, and recovery process.
• Surgery. In cases of serious injury or illness, it may be necessary for your pet to undergo surgery to mitigate damage, repair a defect, excise a tumor, or aid in recovery. Our dedicated team of veterinarians and support staff is devoted to offering comprehensive pain management and vigilant monitoring throughout the pre-operative, operative, and post-operative stages, aiming to achieve optimal results. We prioritize maintaining open lines of communication with you and your primary veterinarian at every stage, ensuring transparency and consistent care for your pet.
• Clinical treatment. This term refers to the full suite of interventions that our Boca Raton Emergency Vet can provide as we work to bring your pet back to stability and health. To learn the precise nature of your dog or cat’s symptoms, we use diagnostic technologies such as thoracic and abdominal radiographs, ultrasound and echocardiography as well as CT scans and bloodwork. Another crucial part of clinical treatment involves ongoing communication with you in order to gain information about your pet’s medical history and current health conditions. Only then can we devise an effective treatment plan, which will be shared with both you and your regular veterinarian to ensure consistency of care even after discharge.
• Trauma. If your pet has experienced poisoning, animal attack, a fall or a vehicle-related accident, every second is important. Our team is uniquely qualified to provide specialized trauma treatments, including wound care, pain control, immobilization of the affected area, surgery, hospitalization and long-term rehabilitation. Our high-tech on-site lab allows us to process samples quickly, obtaining critical results within minutes.
• Intensive care services. When every second counts, AEUCC is there to give your pet the highest standard of diagnostic, surgical and clinical care available today. Our multidisciplinary team of ICU nurses, veterinarians, technicians and veterinary students will work closely with your sick pet to promote their well-being, recovery and healing at every step. This will be done via complex monitoring, transfusions, Cardiopulmonary cerebral resuscitation, oxygen supplementation, pain management, mechanical ventilation, wound care and nutritional support as needed.
