This is an orientation hub, not a veterinary service. It explains the conditions that newcomers to the tropics most often run into — what they are, why Pattaya makes them more likely, how they are prevented, and the signs that should send you to a vet. For diagnosis and treatment, your vet is always the right call.
The common thread is prevention. Most of what follows is far easier, cheaper and kinder to prevent than to treat. For routine vaccination and parasite schedules, see dog vaccinations and cat vaccinations; for street-animal welfare, see spaying & neutering.
