Immers ıon Anesthesia with Alfaxalone in a Goldfısh (Carassius auratus)

An alfaxalone anesthesia protocol was used to perform a coeliotomy in a goldfish diagnosed with multiple ovarian cysts. The 7-year-old, 460g, female goldfish presented for severe coelomic distension and anorexia. Full-body radiographic images were unremarkable, but coelomic ultrasound revealed multiple ovarian cysts. Ultrasound-guided aspiration of a large cyst was performed. Cytology revealed lysed leukocytes that contained numerous intracellular bacilli suggestive of septic suppurative inflammation.
