VET SAVES GOLDFISH BY REMOVING BRAIN TUMOR.
Dr Tristan Rich of Melbourne’s Lort Smith Animal Hospital performed the incredible surgery to remove the tumor from Bubbles, with hopes of the fish being able to return home to his loving owner. The surgery wasn’t an easy one with Dr Rich first having to figure out how to perform surgery on a fish out of water. Dr Rich set up three buckets of water, two with varied doses of anesthetic and another with clean water for the recovery unit.
“Bubbles went for a swim in the bucket with knock-out anesthetic and once he was asleep, we ran a tube from the maintenance bucket which was being oxygenated into Bubbles’ mouth so the water washed over his gills,” said Dr Rich.
“We worked quickly to remove the tumor and sealed the wound with tissue glue,” he said.Fortunately the surgery was a success and Bubbles went straight into recovery.“Once that had set, Bubbles was placed in the recovery unit and given oxygen. He was also given injections with long-acting pain relief and antibiotics,” Dr Rich said.“Soon afterwards he took a couple of breaths on his own and started swimming around.”
Bubbles is a much-loved goldfish and a big part of his family.The animal hospital uploaded a video of him swimming around happily post-surgery.Goldfish can life up to 30 years so his owners hoped he still had many happy years ahead.
It’s not the first time Dr Rich has rescued a goldfish before, the vet became a bit of a local hero when he rescued George the goldfish in 2014 and his efforts have seen an increase in goldfish patients to the animal hospital.
