Say hello to Nemo, a goldfish from the U.K. who had a very large tumour but was lucky enough to have some incredibly caring owners.
Although the tumour was basically the size of his head, Nemo's owners in Buckinghamshire weren't ready to give up on him. They drove Nemo more than two hours to Bristol to get surgery at Highcroft Exotic Vets.
The procedure got "a little bit hairy at times," the clinic wrote on Facebook, but Nemo managed to pull through.
“He got a tumour that grew and grew. We saw that another fish was operated on so we thought we have got nothing to lose," owner Roy Hands told The Mirror.
The clinic's surgeon, Sonya Miles, has made headlines for her fish surgeries before. Last year she managed to remove a tumour from behind a goldfish's eye.
