  Outside the Box 2: Creating a Healthy Cat Home to Reduce Stress

  Sep 22, 202635 min

  A cat can live safely indoors and still experience environmental stress that affects their health. In Episode 2 of Outside the Box , presented in partnership with Royal Canin, internal medicine specialist Dr. Amy Oberstadt explores the connection between stress, the nervous system, bladder inflammation, and recurrent feline urinary problems. Using her own wonderfully particular "basement cat," Marvin, as an example, Dr. Oberstadt explains how litter-box placement, finding sutble household stressors, improving multi-cat dynamics, incorporating play, increasing hydration, creating predictable routines, and providing safe spaces can all contribute to a healthier indoor environment. Most importantly, owners learn why there isn't one perfect setup for every cat and why gradual, individualized changes are more useful than trying to overhaul everything overnight.

  Sep 8, 202624 min

  One Health Heroes: West Nile Mystery Uncovered by a Zoo Pathologist

  Sep 1, 202642 min

  The birds were dying, people were getting sick, and one veterinary pathologist refused to accept that it was a coincidence. In the summer of 1999, Dr. Tracey McNamara was investigating an extraordinary wave of bird deaths at the Bronx Zoo just as people in Queens were being hospitalized with a mysterious neurologic illness. When the human outbreak was initially attributed to St. Louis encephalitis, Dr. McNamara knew the diagnosis didn't explain what she was seeing in the birds. She kept pushing even when public health officials dismissed the veterinary evidence. Her persistence, along with testing performed by the USDA and U.S. Army, helped connect the animal and human outbreaks and identify the arrival of West Nile virus in the Western Hemisphere. More than 25 years later, her story remains a striking example of both the power of One Health surveillance and what can happen when animal and human health systems fail to communicate. Key Takeaways Animals can provide an early warning. Dead birds became an important sentinel for West Nile virus surveillance and human risk. CDC West Nile surveillance and ArboNET Veterinary laboratories matter. The USDA National Veterinary Services Laboratories isolated the virus from the zoo birds after testing ruled out other major avian pathogens. USDA National Veterinary Services Laboratories Data only help when they are shared. Today's National Wildlife Disease Database is designed to bring wildlife health information together for earlier detection of emerging threats. National Wildlife Disease Database One Health surveillance is still evolving. Pacific Northwest National Laboratory is working to integrate human, animal, environmental and other health data for earlier warning and better decision-making.
