The Wrap

Not every vet visit happens in a clinic. The ECHO Leahy Center and a local emergency vet, VEG ER, performed their first-ever ultrasound on a sturgeon after one of the endangered fish started spitting out its food. It's one of three 19-year-old sturgeon in a 15,000-gallon tank. Quite a catwalk moment.
