Man Saves Constipated Pet Goldfish

not.a.sock.puppet — Thu, 22 Jan 2015 01:02:04 GMT

An unnamed man recently spent about US$500 on an unusual surgery to save the life of his pet goldfish at the Toll Barn Veterinary Centre in Norfolk.

He had observed that his pet was having a difficult time eliminating its waste. 29-year-old vet Faye Bethell performed the 50-minute procedure.

Anaesthetic had to be most carefully administered since the slightest of over dosage may send Goldie straight to fish heaven.

Tiny instruments were then used to remove the offensive lumps from the fish’s backside.

The three-year-old three-inch goldfish enjoyed a speedy recovery. If you must know, goldfish can live up to ten years.

OMG for crying out loud, what people can find to throw their money away on. I'm going to the Golden Corral tomorrow for around 10 dollars. I'll enjoy the fish there with ketchup.

500 dollars would have set this guy up with a 75+ gallon tropical community. tank, filters, stand, and a breeder tank underneeth for feeder goldfish. Feed them to the pair of Oscars.

I have resisted opening this thread until now. I don't know what to say really. $500 on a goldfish? I hope it wags its tail in appreciation. 🙂
