Pressing issues in veterinary medicine today?


I want to know what some major issues are in veterinary medicine today.
Ones I can already think of include pet insurance, emerging diseases (west nile, bird flu, etc) …
any other major ones?
THANKS!

Heartworms (constant mainenance, check-ups and difficult to eradicate, no vaccine)
pet obesity because of calories-packed commercial food (diabetes)
many inherited diseases in pure dog breeds
