Goldfish saves from tumour using micro-surgery

A dying goldfish suffering from a head tumour will live to swim another day after undergoing life-threatening surgery.

George, a standard goldfish, was admitted to Lort Smith Animal Hospital in North Melbourne last week to undergo surgery for a tumour that was "affecting his quality of life".

Dr Tristan Rich, who performed the intricate surgery, said 10-year-old George was unable to swim and eat properly, and was starting to "really suffer".
