About Vet

Hello, I am Dr. Abbate. I have owned my own practice in Florida for 30+ years. I practice small animal medicine, which is 99% dogs and cats and I have studied traditional Chinese medicine and acupuncture II have a special interest in problems associated with skin and ears, and intestinal disturbances, causing vomiting and diarrhea. In addition to practicing full-time in a complete medical and surgical facility, I’ve had a lot of experience with veterinary telemedicine since the COVID pandemic, and I have consulted over 2000 client’s about their pets.

My background: I was born in New York and grew up mostly in Darien, Connecticut. I attended Michigan State University for two years of pre-vet classes, then transferred to Auburn University. I finished my bachelors degree, as well as post-graduate training in animal sciences, physiology and nutrition, and my Doctor of Veterinary Medicine in 1989.

My cat was experiencing urinary issues and the vet walked through all possible options that it could be due to her age before settling on it being a uti and prescribed an antibiotic.
