A vet has dramatically saved a family’s 17-year-old goldfish after he was struck down by a killer tumor. The veterinarians performed a ‘first of its kind’ operation to remove the growth from the face of beloved fish Merlin. They took the tiny three-inch fish to Linnaeus-owned MyVet in Lucan in Dublin. Now Merlin is a symbol of possibility. Even in the worst moments you can turn it around. Never give up.
