Where Do Penguins Go To Get MRI’s?

The staff at Blank Park Zoohave been treating ‘Chiquita,’ a two-year old female Magellanic penguin for a chronic limp. When examinations and treatments failed to resolve her limp they determined that more advanced imaging like an MRI would be necessary so veterinary professionals brought in an expert from Iowa Radiology who helped them perform the important medical imaging appointment while managing ‘Chiquita’s’ comfort level throughout the process! ‘Chiquita’ was fully anesthetized by Blank Park Zoo’s veterinary team.
