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 I have a special interest in problems associated with skin and ears, and intestinal disturbances, causing vomiting and diarrhea, and urinary abnormalities such as UTI and inappropriate urination. 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 Cane Corso has been having reoccurring ear infections along with excessive licking of the paws and patches throughout his skin. I wanted a second opinion from my previous vet and Dr Abbate came up with a plan to treat him focusing on long term treatment for yeast and allergies.
