TL;DR Summary

A French angelfish at the Denver Zoo was experiencing buoyancy issues and swimming abnormally, prompting a CT scan that revealed the cause: enteritis, or inflamed intestines, resulting in increased internal gas. The fish was treated with antibiotics and is now swimming normally. The CT scan, which required special accommodations, was shared on Instagram by the zoo. This comes after a recent case where a 376-pound alligator at a Florida zoo was diagnosed with an ear infection after CT scans and X-rays.
