Skipper, an Aussie/Border Collie mix
puppy was born in Oklahoma with six
legs. But vets at Neel Veterinary
Hospital say she's doing well. Born in
Oklahoma City, this Aussie/border collie
mix was born with a pair of congenital

and monocephalus rachipagus
dibrachius tetrapus. In non-vet speak,

Skipper two tails and an extra pair of
legs.
