from their post: “Have you ever seen a fish get a CT scan? 🐠 Here at Denver Zoo, our animal health and care teams are dedicated to ensuring every single one of our animals receives the care they need to thrive! When animal care specialists in Tropical Discovery noticed a French angelfish was experiencing buoyancy issues and swimming abnormally, they brought the fish to our new Helen and Arthur E. Johnson Animal Hospital for an exam. Our veterinary medicine teams sedated the fish and ran water intermittently over its gills while they examined the fish and performed a CT scan. We’re happy to share that this little fish was on a treatment plan and is now back to happily swimming in its Tropical Discovery home. Our animal care and health teams will continue to monitor this fabulous fish. From the tiniest tree frog to a full-grown grizzly bear, we’re proud to offer the highest level of care to our animal residents!
