An interesting take on Winnie The Pooh from a veterinary health-related perspective:

"Eeyore clearly has a significant undiagnosed metabolic disease, given his body condition, poor muscle mass and lethargy..."

He's right about Roo's drug use and Kanga being the supplier; she regularly doses him with 'medicine' for no apparent medical reason.

I think Tigger has ADHD myself... and he also gets occasional fixes, of whatever Roo is on, from Kanga.

Boy, missed a lot, didn't he? No mention of *stuffing* emerging when Pooh's epidermis is breached, possibly indicating that these are actually revenant subjects of taxidermy (or, y'know, stuffed toys), no mention of the rather remarkable abnormalities involved in each of these species being capable of intelligible speech *at all*? Rather shoddy zoonosis, really.

Methinks you miss the point.

Really? I thought the point was to apply differential diagnosis, in which case the stuffing problem and the fact of animals talking would be among the first things House or somebody similar would not notice.
