In other words, for many people, the pet at home is no longer an ordinary animal, but more importantly, it is their friends, relatives and even emotional sustenance...
The goldfish I want to talk about today is no exception...
In Norfolk, England, there is a family with a goldfish named Bob. It's an ordinary goldfish, but it also has an unusual side – this year the goldfish is 20 years old.
It has been living with the family for 20 years. In the eyes of this family, it has long been one of the family members.
It happened one day, and the owner was still planning to take a look at Bob...
Then the owner found that the fish was swimming upside down in the fish tank. This behavior is very wrong.
The owner was very worried, and took a closer look, only to find out later that a small tumor had grown on the fin of this fish.
Its owner immediately took it to a local animal treatment center, hoping that the doctors there would bring the goldfish back to life. Because he heard that in 2015, the center had successfully operated on a goldfish.
The doctor examined it and told him that it was indeed a tumor.
Can be saved.
But to save, the surgery may cost £200.
At this time, a touching thing happened, and this owner, without hesitation, chose to save it...
thereupon... The doctor put it on the operating table, gave it anesthesia, and began the operation.
They measured its heartbeat with a small instrument, and then with small forceps, small scissors to help it remove the tumor...
Doctors say it's not a simple process because the fish is so small and fragile.
They don't even have blood to replace, so be very careful with every step...
Plus Bob isn't a young goldfish, he's 20 years old...
The operation lasted about half an hour, and during this process, they also needed to constantly drip water on Bob's body to prevent it from being dried up...
Fortunately, the operation was very successful, got rid of the tumor Bob, and slowly recovered...
Its owner was super happy. He said the fish was older than their children, and over the years it had been a family presence. Money is not the point!
There is love...
