Margate

Broward County, Florida’s 14th largest city, Margate proudly showcases numerous features that endear it to guests and residents alike. Its nine square miles of shady streets and 30 miles of canals combine to make it a charming addition to the Miami metropolitan area, enabling it to be a tranquil place to work and play while also providing easy access to the Atlantic Ocean and to all the attractions a big city has to offer.

In the past five decades, Margate has grown from a sleepy farming area of 5,700 souls to a vibrant city whose population has grown by over fifty percent. Although still tiny by Miami standards, Margate furnishes a full suite of services to its residents, including fire, police, building, parks and recreation, senior center and storm water utility departments. In addition, opportunities for family and tourist fun are plentiful. Among others, residents and guests can attend the Sounds at Sundown free concerts, the Margate Gulf Classic in November and December’s winter solstice party. Year-round, families can spend a memorable day in the sun at Calypso Cove or dine at one of the city’s diverse restaurants. Whether you’re just visiting for a few days or choose to make this South Florida gem your home, you will be glad to spend time in this friendly town that is known as the Gateway to Greater Fort Lauderdale.

Another aspect of Margate that makes it appealing is its easy access to important veterinary medical facilities. Pet owners know that emergencies or sudden illnesses are unpredictable and can necessitate immediate action. If your animal becomes ill and you need fast and reliable services from a Margate Emergency Vet, the Animal Emergency Urgent Care Center (AEUCC) is available 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.

Our Services

As a loving pet owner, the health and well-being of your dog or cat is one of your highest priorities. When your pet companion experiences severe illness, poisoning, animal attack or the flare-up of a chronic disease, you need ready access to compassionate professionals you can trust. AEUCC is the only Margate Emergency Vet you will ever need in a crisis. We offer the following comprehensive set of diagnostic and direct medical intervention services:

• Lab Work. Before any medical intervention treatments can be initiated, our staff needs to come to a thorough understanding of the nature and extent of your dog’s or cat’s physical issues. To that end, our laboratory is stocked with technology that allows us to conduct vital tests including complete blood count (CB C), blood chemistry, urinalysis and coagulation profiles. Since samples are analyzed immediately on-site, our technicians can quickly furnish veterinary professionals with the data they need to make an accurate diagnosis and initiate the best treatment.
• Diagnostic imaging. Looking at blood and urine are not the only techniques we use to gather details about your pet’s condition. We also use state-of-the-art technology to gather pictorial images of the animal’s organs and internal processes. Our imaging services include radiography (X-rays), electrocardiography, ultrasonography and Doppler ultrasound that combine to provide our staff with valuable information aiding in triage and diagnosis.
• Cardiology. If not treated quickly and accurately, heart damage or disease in your pet can be debilitating and even fatal. When heart issues are suspected, we first complete a thorough physical examination during which we consult with you about your pet’s medical history and current symptoms. We are then ready to determine the most effective steps in further understanding and treating the issue. To that end, we use blood pressure recording, resting electrocardiography, ambulatory electrocardiography and/or ultrasound electrocardiography in combination with advanced care from a cardiac specialist if the situation warrants.
• Hospitalization. If your pet is seriously ill or requires ongoing monitoring for any reason, AEUCC offers a complete range of inpatient services. Round-the-clock attention may involve the administration of intravenous medications, nutritional support, wound care and advanced monitoring. All are provided in a clean environment designed to minimize the chances of contracting additional infections. Throughout your dog’s or cat’s stay with us, our doctors will remain in frequent communication with you and your regular veterinarian, ensuring the best possible outcomes and discharge.
• Surgery. The highly trained professionals at AEUCC have gained the expertise and experience necessary to perform everything from a simple dental extraction to the most complex cardiac operation. After a thorough consultation with you, we use our state-of-the-art laboratory and diagnostic imaging equipment to arrive at a thorough understanding of your pet’s condition. Should surgery be recommended, we provide comprehensive pain management before, during and after the procedure in order to minimize discomfort and bring about an optimal recovery.
• Clinical treatment. From our initial conversation with you until your dog or cat is discharged, we at AEUCC are committed to providing an accurate diagnosis and expedited and effective interventions combined with ongoing communication and our signature compassion. Among the treatments we may recommend are fluid therapy, nutritional support, obesity management, pain management, medications and surgery.
• Trauma. In the blink of an eye, your pet can experience a fall, animal attack, poisoning or vehicular accident. When these crises happen, your cat or dog needs immediate urgent care from the caring professionals at AEUCC. We are specially trained to make a prompt and accurate diagnosis in order to quickly minimize pain and initiate the best possible treatment. Through it all, we furnish comprehensive communication, cutting-edge technologies and compassionate care designed to promote recovery and healing.
• Intensive care. When your pet is critically ill, they need constant attention from a staff who cares. AT AEUCC, we furnish monitoring, medications, wound care and pain management round the clock in a safe, clean and compassionate environment.
