Interesting Case #3 At Hopi Animal Hospital we know how much you love your animal family. We take your concerns seriously and offer comprehensive care for all patients. Goldie was a gold fish that came to Hopi Animal Hospital with a large tumor on her back. The tumor was making it difficult for her to swim and eat normally. In order to better her quality of life, we took Goldie to surgery to remove the tumor. Since Goldie was a fish we had to make an anesthetic delivery system suitable for her and the surgery. It was a challenge but also very rewarding. Goldie had a full recovery post-surgery and was able live a normal life again.
