Are our pets' microbes making us feel good? Is the "Lassie Effect" the real deal? Millions of people around the world are pet owners and as the saying goes, "dog is man's best friend." This week I examine how pets truly are beneficial to our overall health whether it's socially, physically, emotionally etc. I'll answer a case specific question about mycoplasma infection in a cat and even touch upon diarrhea in our furry friends. So tune in to this week's podcast on Animal General with Dr. Mike Hutchinson.
