2 beluga whales had 'chronic gastrointestinal disease' before death, Shedd reveals (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Two of the four Shedd Aquarium beluga whales that have died in recent weeks suffered from a “chronic gastrointestinal disease” — a sickness that likely developed before they arrived here from a Canadian aquatic park, Shedd staff announced Friday. A third beluga, 34-year-old Beethoven, suffered from age-related health problems, Shedd said. Beethoven, unlike the other two, was part of the aquarium’s resident population. Shedd also said veterinarians have found no evidence of a “shared infectious d
