As Accredited Veterinarians, we are trained in recognition of Foreign Animal Diseases. If your pet is sick and you have traveled recently with them; or if they are a new adoptee form a foreign country, be sure to tell your veterinarian the travel history. This piece of information along with physical exam findings will aid in selecting the right tests to figure out your pet’s condition. Moreover, some FAD are zoonotic (meaning they can infect humans and animals) and therefore proper identification and treatment is paramount.
