Mia is her name. She is a beautiful puppy that was born with a unique and rare disease. She was born with five legs and two tails, which is quite unusual.
Mia's owners were unable to care for her or pay for the professional therapy the puppy would require.
Casas Cunas Animal Shelter took in the puppy and cared for Mia's welfare. She will be dewormed because she has a large belly for a baby her age.
Mia's extra paws and tails are located near her stomach, and she also suffers from other hereditary illnesses such as having two vaginas and two anuses, through which she will go to the toilet.
The shelter is currently accepting donations to help her with surgery, but she will first require more exact x-rays and ultrasounds to determine how best to proceed with the necessary medical procedures.
Mia's littermates were not affected by the same sickness, and all of the puppies were adopted.
According to a doctor at Neel Veterinary Hospital who treated a puppy named Skipper in 2021, the puppy was supposed to have a twin, but they didn't completely separate, therefore Skipper was born with six legs, two tails, two pelvic areas, and two reproductive systems.
Mia most likely suffers from the same congenital birth problem as her brother.
Mia girl will need two procedures in five days, the first of which will be tomorrow. Mia has been under veterinary care at all times.
Her most recent report appears optimistic, and it is hoped that the puppy will have a long life. Helping her right now is tough and expensive.
It is hoped that by sharing Mia's tale, animal activists would be able to contribute to the costs of her next procedures.
