“Our 30-year-old leopard eel, Larry Gordon, recently traveled to Summit Veterinary Referral Center for a CT scan. Zoo Veterinarian, Dr. Kadie, identified a mass in the eel’s mouth that was likely due to a broken tooth. After the tooth was extracted, our veterinary team scheduled surgery with an outside veterinary dentist and surgeon to remove the oral growth and help Larry Gordon feel better,” they wrote.

I can’t believe we can give eels CT scans. Also, I can’t believe his name is really Larry Gordon, but I love it. Feel better soon, Larry,” expressed a third. “Scary but cool,” commented a fourth. “I thought this was a drawing of a dragon at first glance,” wrote a fifth.
