You are more likely to experience Montezuma's Revenge. Here's information from webmd.com: "40 percent of visitors to Mexico experience traveler's diarrhea and it can wreck a trip. Being careful what one eats and drinks and being prepared for illness if it occurs are the keys." So be sure to take anti-diarrhea medicine. If you forget, pick some up at the pharmacy across the street from Casa Phoenix. www.webmd.

There are no particular shots that are required for travel in Mexico. You do not need any shots to travel to Rocky Point, Mata Ortiz, or Cuernavaca. In the more tropical regions of Mexico (Chiapas, Quintana Roo) visitors may want to have Malaria pills, as well as shots against Hepatitis B and Typhoid. Check with your doctor to see what he/she recommends. See similar questions...

There is a daytime medical clinic in XCALAK with a doctor who is usually at the clinic Monday through Friday. XCALAK also has a nurse who works and lives in XCALAK and can usually be found amiable to respond to emergencies in off-hours. The nearest hospital is in Chetumal. Some guests have taken malaria pills/shots on the advice of their doctor. We have had very few cases of malaria here in XCALAK. See similar questions...

Different countries may have different travel document requirements. It is best to check with the country you are visiting to determine the appropriate travel document requirements (for instance, whether you need a passport and/or visa). You can find out more by referring to the State Department website at http://travel.state.gov. Yes. Under this final rule, Mexican citizens, just like U.S., Canadian and Bermudan citizens, will be required to present a passport for air travel. See similar questions...

Before we let the kitten leave, it will be up-to-date with its vaccinations. If the kitten is less than 16 weeks old, the vaccinations will not be complete and the kitten will have to receive additional vaccinations from your veterinarian.. Vaccinations routinely given include the upper respiratory series for calici, panleukopenia and herpes. See similar questions...

That's not surprising. There are two veterinary organizations in the United States. They disagree on the most important canine issues such as feeding, vaccinations, and dental care. Your vet no doubt belongs to the American Veterinary Medical Association (AVMA). The health information on my web site comes from vets who belong to the American HOLISTIC Veterinary Medical Association (AHVMA). See similar questions...

This depends on which country in which your visit originates. If you are from the U.S. or Canada, you will need your passport or notarized birth certificate with state issued ID. You will also need a tourist card unless you are traveling for less than 72 hours within the border zone (usually no further than 20 miles south of the U.S. border except in Baja California and Sonora which have extended their zones).

No. No immunization shots for gliders are available at this time but so far none have been needed. For example even if a Glider came into contact with rabies the glider could not get or spread the disease because of the gliders very low body temperature (around 89 degrease) that keeps the glider safe from many illnesses that normally affect animals in North America.

Currently, USA citizens only need visas for Turkey, the rest of our destinations do not require USA citizens to get visas. For more information on Do I Need A Visa?, click here. Turkey visas for USA citizens cost an extortionate $100 and should be bought at the Istanbul airport upon arrival using US dollars, exact change only. Canadian citizens on the Eastern Europe tour only will currently need visas for the Czech Republic and Poland. See similar questions...

Yes. Ferrets need to be vaccinated for both canine distemper and rabies every year. Canine distemper is 100% fatal to ferrets. There is no cure once they catch it, only prevention. It is also extremely contagious. Just because a ferret does not go out of the house does not mean they can't catch it. Young kits and ferrets with unknown vaccination histories need to have at least two shots, possibly three, each shot 2-4 weeks apart. See similar questions...

Again, you might. It depends how overweight you are, how you carry your weight, and where you are doing the shots. I think a common change is from a 1?" needle to a 3" needle. Also, Metrodin, one of the more common injectibles, is now available in a subcutaneous version called Fertinex, and that is a shorter needle. See similar questions...
