Question

1. Dr. Lairmore makes the point that veterinarians don't just treat "the animal," but approach treatment from a "one health" perspective. What other things are veterinarians looking at, and why?
ANSWER===== They are also looking at interacting on the animal health side and people and environment side because animals usually have owners that are human that the vets have to work with to make the animal better.

Answer 1

Other things veterinarians are looking at is the boundary between animals, people, and the environment. Veterinarians need to work with human doctors to work on food safety, problems connected to cancer, etc. Veterinarians and human doctors can get facts from each other. The problems we face in society means that they have to cooperate with both the animal health side, the human health side, and environment side as well. One way they think of “one health” is evolving viruses. They are looking at this to find a solution by the use of comparative medicine and observing the environment.
