Description
The Florida Aquarium's veterinarians and staff found a rare form of cancer in one of their stingrays that has only been reported one other time.
Luckily, their early detection has allowed staff to manage the disease and allow the ray to remain stable.
Dominica, a cownose stingray, was diagnosed with chronic lymphocytic leukemia after doctors saw her white blood count was 10 times higher than normal during her blood work.
