Deerfield Beach

Located in Broward County, Deerfield Beach is just south of the Palm Beach County line and is a suburb of the Miami metropolitan area. Deerfield Beach might just be one of South Florida’s best-kept secrets. Beloved by tourists and residents alike because of its beautiful scenery, access to educational and professional resources and recreational destinations, this gem is rapidly becoming a go-to destination as well as a sought-after permanent home.

Vacationers are flocking to the bustling coastal community of Deerfield Beach because of its pristine beaches, critically acclaimed restaurants and vibrant social scene. The International Fishing Pier has everything you need to cast a line or prepare for a day at the beach. Those searching for a more serene environment need look no further than Deerfield Island Park, a 53-acre wilderness preserve brimming with animals and plants indigenous to the Sunshine State. Alternatively, visitors can come back to the area again and again to attend events like art festivals, concerts, Ocean Brews and Blues and Pioneer Days.

Both guests to the area and people who live here often are accompanied by their pets. One of the realities of living with an animal companion is that sudden illnesses, injuries and flare-ups of existing conditions can arise. Along with its many other compelling features and amenities, the city is home to a Deerfield Beach Emergency Vet hospital called the Animal Emergency and Urgent Care Center (AEUCC). Whether you are just staying in the area for a few days or are a permanent resident, this Deerfield Beach Emergency Vet has the dedicated doctors and staff as well as the specialized equipment that will provide your furry companion with the care they need.

What Sets AEUCC Apart?

When your pet is seriously injured or ill, you need help right away from a compassionate medical team that focuses on clear communication and modern solutions made possible via cutting-edge equipment and procedures. AT AEUCC, we offer the following comprehensive set of emergency and interventional services:

• Lab work. Before the right treatments can be recommended, it is vital to learn the nature and extent of your pet’s medical situation. To that end, our fully-stocked laboratory is equipped to examine many of an animal’s internal functions and processes to promote accurate triage, diagnosis and treatment. Our lab can conduct complete blood count, blood chemistry, urinalysis and coagulation profiles, with results available within just a few minutes.
• Diagnostic imaging. In conjunction with our lab, our imaging technologies allow us to take pictures of your pet’s internal organs and systems for diagnostic, triaging and monitoring purposes. The tools available to our veterinarians include radiographs (X-rays) of the chest, abdomen or musculoskeletal system, ultrasonography to view tissues and organ function, echocardiography to assess heart functioning and Doppler ultrasound for the measurement of blood flow through various types of blood vessels.
• Cardiology. Suspected heart problems in your pet require immediate diagnosis, monitoring and intervention. AEUCC furnishes pets with a full spectrum of cardiac care options. These include a thorough physical examination and consultation, blood pressure measurement and monitoring, resting electrocardiography, ambulatory electrocardiography and ultrasound electrocardiography. When combined, these tests can provide our specialists with a thorough idea of your pet’s current cardiac condition so that we can make the best possible diagnosis to create optimal outcomes.
• Hospitalization. If your pet is seriously injured or ill and needs ongoing monitoring or is in medically unstable, hospitalization is often recommended. This enables us to provide ongoing monitoring and medical intervention. While your dog or cat is with us, they will receive ongoing attention from our compassionate veterinary staff and, if warranted, from specialists. Our state-of-the-art hospital is safe and clean, designed to minimize the chances of further infection and provide immediate access to a full spectrum of resources.
• Surgery. Serious injury or disease can sometimes require immediate surgical intervention. With its complete suite of competent professional staff and state-of-the-art devices and technology, AEUCC is prepared to provide your pet with the intervention they need. The treatment will be combined with the best possible pain management and post-operational care to ensure optimal outcomes.
• Clinical treatment. This term refers to the careful and complete set of steps we take to come to a diagnosis, make recommendations and initiate the best form of care for your pet. It involves speaking with you to gather health history details, potential collaboration with your regular veterinarian, laboratory tests and diagnostic imaging, pain management, fluid therapy, nutritional support, obesity management, medications and surgery if warranted.
• Trauma. Falls, vehicle-related accidents, poisoning, animal attacks and other ordeals can cause your pet to have severe physical symptoms requiring immediate attention. Our experienced and caring staff are trained to quickly identify the nature and extent of the injury, making accurate recommendations that can minimize pain and lead to optimized outcomes. We are available 24/7 to furnish your pet with immediate attention and care during this frightening and difficult time.
• Intensive care. Critically ill animals require round-the-clock attention. AEUCC’s ICU is there to provide the sickest pets with constant monitoring, pain management, wound care, medications and other interventions that are vital to their health and well-being. Through it all, your pet will be cared for by a team of doctors, veterinary technicians and specialists who will collaborate and remain in ongoing communication with you and your regular veterinarian.
