Life-Saving Hernia Operation Performed On Fish
10/29/08 - Amazing
“A fish has had a bizarre life-saving operation after developing a hernia. Carla the 10-inch-long angelfish was laid out on an operating table while a vet and two assistants carried out the unusual surgery. After being anaesthetised, the exotic fish had a tube placed in her mouth and water pumped through her body and out her gills to enable her to breathe… After being stitched up and brought round, the plucky fish was kept under close observation before she went on to make a full recovery.” w/ photos
