Abstract: 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 imaging for exotic pets.<br />Competing Interests: Disclosure The authors have nothing to disclose.<br /> (Copyright © 2024 Elsevier Inc.
