Ever wondered if you could save an an aimal's life just with honey? Well tune in to this week's episode of Aquadocs where Michelle interviews Dr. Brittany Stevens veterinarian at the Aquarium of the Pacific in Long Beach, California and veterinarian at the California Science Center in Los Angeles, about just that. In this episode, we discuss the case of Eelana, a California Moray Eel who suffered from a gnarly xanthoma. After removing the mass and doing her best to get the skin to heal, Dr. Stevens was nearly out of luck. She had thrown everything at Eelana, but Eelana wouldn't heal and even months after the procedure, you could still see through the incision all the way down to the skull! Then, Dr. Stevens had the crazy idea to try manuka honey. Can this work on an eel? You'll have to listen to find out!
