Exotic Animal Practice in South Asia
Exotic animal practice is at its infancy in South Asia. We lack the formal education for this subject. However, new policies and improvements in the veterinary education system and a positive shift in demographics of exotic animals as pets have led to an upsurge of knowledge about this subject. Earlier people were forced to treat exotic animals, however, now there are many veterinarians who make it a choice to treat these species. This shift in trend will help exotic animal practice grow in South Asia. (Source: Veterinary Clinics of North America: Exotic Animal Practice)

Exotic Animal Practice in Southeast Asia
The number of exotic animal practitioners in Southeast Asia (SEA) has increased over the last 30  years to match the increase in ownership of exotic pets. Fortunately, veterinary health care has advanced due to the leaders in the field educating other practitioners and promoting exotic animal practice. Continuing education opportunities are available for exotic medicine in SEA. In Thailand and Singapore, there is a niche of clients with high spending power that has transcended to increased demand for exotic health care. This has led to the establishment of exotic-only specialist hospitals and more access to advanced imagi...

Exotic Animal Practice in West Asia/Middle East
Middle East is a diverse and developing exotic animal market. Undergraduate, postgraduate, and continuing professional development (CPD) education are noticeably absent except in few countries. Avian species are the most commonly kept due to traditional falconry or aviculture. Small mammal and reptile pet numbers are increasing. Endangered wildlife is still illegally kept and trafficked. Common diseases are similar to other continents related heavily with poor diet and husbandry due to uneducated, financially restrained, and prejudiced owners. There is a significant lack of board-certified specialists, teaching facilities,...

Exotic Animal Practice in Mexico, Central, and South America
This article provides an overview of the development of exotic animal medicine in Latin America (LATAM), highlighting its historical evolution, current evidence, and future considerations. The practice of exotic animal medicine began in the 1970s and 1980s. The lack of knowledge and scientific resources led to the extrapolation of veterinary care for exotic species from human and companion animal medicine. However, from the 21st century onwards, globalization and collaboration among veterinary professionals have allowed greater access to knowledge and techniques for the treatment of exotic species in LATAM.

Dungeons and Dragons
The way exotic animals are viewed around the world differ. These views and attitudes are constantly evolving and may eventually converge in the way that cats and dogs are now widely accepted as part of most societies around the world. The choice and popularity of exotic animal species as pets is a complex interaction of many different factors, including legislation and availability. Media representation may be a factor too, but there has been very little evidence to demonstrate this. Regardless of the region, exotic animal practice appears to be an area of veterinary practice that is on the rise. (Source: Veterinary Clinic...

No Man Is an Island
The idea for this issue came about during a meeting of the international committee of the Association of Avian Veterinarians. The organization of these meetings was usually a complicated affair in itself, with the need to balance multiple time zones. The topic of the similarities and differences between one another ’s veterinary practices came up during this particular meeting and thus the seed for the issue was sown. The next step involved gathering authors from all around the world, some of whom did not previously know one another, to collaborate on articles relating to regions of the world.

Psittacine Neonatology and Pediatrics
Psittacine neonates are altricial (require nourishment and care), have high metabolic rates and low energetic reserves, and are born without feathers and with the eyelids and otic canals closed, which makes them totally dependent on the constant care of a rearer for nutrition and thermoregulation (Fig.  1). Additionally, they lack a fully competent immune system, which makes them more predisposed to develop some diseases than adult individuals.

Raptor Pediatrics
Neonatal and juvenile raptors may differ from adults in their husbandry, disease predispositions, and medical therapies. There are differences between captive bred juveniles and those presented for rehabilitation to the wild, which must be taken into consideration for successful long-term outcomes. In captive settings, many metabolic and infectious diseases may be linked to problems with diet. The successful rehabilitation and release of wild raptor chicks requires special precautions beyond avoiding imprinting. (Source: Veterinary Clinics of North America: Exotic Animal Practice)
