Despite the advancements in medicine, unexpected birth defects are still prevalent in our world. Unfortunately, not all individuals are treated equally. This also extends to animals, as we can see with the case of Skipper. This adorable puppy was born with six legs and two tails, but sadly, her mother rejected her because of her differences.

In February, a unique and special Aussie and Collie mix was born in Oklahoma with eight other siblings. However, unlike her healthy brothers and sisters, Skipper had some unusual medical conditions. Even her mother rejected her, so she was taken to Neel Veterinary Hospital for proper care. Skipper is considered a “miracle” by many because she is believed to be the first of her kind to survive. At just four days old, she has already surpassed any known records for canines with her combination of congenital conditions. The hospital proudly introduced Skipper to the world through their Facebook page.

Have you ever heard of a dog that’s as rare as a unicorn? Well, that’s exactly what Skipper is – strange and unusual! But what caused her to be this way, you ask? The veterinarians at the hospital have an interesting theory. Apparently, while Skipper was in her mother’s womb, an egg tried to split into twin but didn’t quite make it. As a result, this adorable little pup came into the world with some unique features.

Thankfully, Skipper is a fighter and she managed to overcome the challenges that came with her unusual birth. She’s doing great and living her best life. Interestingly, she also has duplicate organs from her waist down, but surprisingly, they’re working perfectly fine. So, if you ever come across this precious pup, don’t be afraid – she’s just one-of-a-kind!

Skipper has received an outpouring of love and prayers from many people, and while some still express concern about her health, her caretakers have assured us that she is a content and healthy puppy who isn’t experiencing any discomfort. Therefore, there’s no cause for alarm, at least for now.
In terms of her future, the Neel Veterinary Hospital has revealed on Facebook that they have no intention of euthanizing Skipper since there is no indication of pain or suffering. They anticipate that she will lead a joyful and complete life. Despite the uncertainty of what lies ahead, they are optimistic about the journey.

Skipper’s updates can also be found on the hospital’s Facebook page, where more than 55,000 followers are keeping track of her progress.
