Zoobiquity
When UCLA cardiologist Dr. Barbara Natterson-Horowitz was called to
the LA Zoo in spring 2005 to consult on the heart operation on a
tamarin, little did she know it was a visit that would change her
life, and possibly change how medical care is delivered throughout
the world. She had an 'Aha!' moment as she began realizing just how
many human health conditions are manifested by animals and managed
by Veterinarians.
Barbara’s work, including her book “Zoobiquity”, has set the human
and animal medical communities on fire by articulating how many
physical and even behavioral disorders are nearly the same in both
animals and humans. As a result, veterinarians and doctors are
beginning to collaborate in an unprecedented way, opening up new
thinking about medical care for both animals and humans.
