The Pet Doctor - Episode 282 The Circle of Life

The Lion King said it best...'it's the circle of life and it moves us all'. We are all interconnected. What happens to a population of bats in Asia can affect the health of people in the Mid West. Medical research that focuses on keeping bees buzzing can insure that you and I can continue to enjoy a handful of nutritious almonds along with our morning glass of orange juice. The death of deer in Maine can be the harbinger of a rise in tick borne diseases in the fluffy toy poodles the suburbs of Tennessee and their owners. With the continuum of health between people, animals and our planet, it would seem as though research dollars would be flowing to organizations and agencies who are investigating zoonotic diseases...those conditions that affect people and animals. You would think so but the sad reality is that the dollars are few and far between.

Dr. Cheryl Stroud holds a degree in veterinary medicine and a PhD in endocrine physiology. She is currently the Executive Director of the One Health Commission. Her forte is bringing people together.
