Funny floating fish undergoes CT scan at Denver Zoo.
A Fishy Tale: The French Angelfish with a Funny Float
In a remarkable turn of events, a fancy-looking French angelfish has regained its buoyancy after an extraordinary visit to the Denver Zoo. This captivating creature, adorned in vibrant blue and yellow hues, caught the attention of a zoo worker when it was spotted swimming with a peculiar tilt.
Concerned for its well-being, the fish was promptly whisked away to the zoo’s on-site hospital for a thorough examination. Equipped with state-of-the-art technology, including an ultrasound and a CT scan, the medical team aimed to uncover the cause of the fish’s unusual swimming behavior.
The CT scan, typically reserved for larger patients like grizzly bears, required some creative accommodations. The seven-inch fish was sedated and delicately positioned upright on a sponge, with water gently poured over its gills to ensure its survival during the scan.
A Surprising Diagnosis and a Swift Recovery
Thanks to the diligent efforts of the medical team, the cause of the fish’s buoyancy issue was revealed: enteritis, or inflamed intestines, leading to excessive internal gas. However, there was no need to worry, as a simple solution was at hand.
The fish was promptly treated with antibiotics, and the results were nothing short of miraculous. With its health restored, the angelfish is now swimming gracefully and effortlessly, no longer burdened by its previous floaty predicament.
