Fish gets chemotherapy http://story.news.yahoo.c...rillsshedd
Grouper therapy thrills Shedd Thu Oct 16, 9:40 AM ET By William Mullen In the 16 years since Bubba the grouper was dropped off in a bucket on the doorstep of the Shedd Aquarium, he has turned from a girl into a boy and grown to a whopping 140 pounds. That in itself makes a pretty good story, but now Bubba has made marine veterinary history. Diagnosed last year with cancer, he is believed by his keepers to be the first fish to undergo chemotherapy. On Wednesday, a healthy Bubba was slipped into his new home, the 400,000-gallon main pool of the Shedd's new $43 million Wild Reef gallery. As a member of a dwindling species, Bubba would be highly valued in any aquarium. But of the many thousands of fish at the Shedd, Bubba is beloved by the aquarium staff and regular visitors for his history as a foundling and for his persnickety nature. Nobody wanted to let the sick fish slip away without a good fight. | |

You can lead a horse to water, but you can't chemo fish.
Well, I guess now you can. Did its hair fall out? | |

Aaron... you should know better than to talk about fish at a time like this!

Well, I guess now you can. Did its hair fall out? The ferret at my job who gets chemo doesn't lose his hair. I'm not quite sure what's up with that. | |
