The puppy, named Skipper, may be the first dog to survive her rare conditions.
Along with eight other siblings, the Australian Collie mix was naturally born on February 16 in Oklahoma. All of her siblings were healthy and living completely typical lives. On the opposite, Skipper’s circumstances were a little different.
“This is a miracle named Skipper. Indeed. She has survived longer than we suspect any other canine has with her combination of congenital conditions,” the hospital introduced Skipper.
People refer to Skipper as a “miracle” since they think she is the first of her kind to have survived. The uncommon dog was the outcome of a process that appeared to be an egg in the mother dog’s womb trying to split into twins but failing partially, according to the hospital’s veterinarians.
Skipper has overcome the situation and is still thriving because of her own strength and prompt medical care. The little pup also has duplicate organs from her waist down, but fortunately, they are still functional.
Skipper is now receiving a lot of support and many people are praying for her. Although her caregivers have stated that Skipper “is a happy and healthy puppy. She is not in any pain and she is not expected to be.” Therefore, it is clear that we have nothing to worry about — at least for the time being.
Neel Veterinary Hospital stated on Facebook that they “do not plan on putting her down since there is no indication she is in pain or will be” in regards to her future.
The veterinarians anticipate Skipper leading a full and happy life. They are also expecting a long journey ahead because they are unsure of what lies ahead. Surely, they are not giving up on Skipper.
