puppy with both sex organs
We rescued Precious and Goldie. They are golden retriever and german shepard mix pups. Fun, lovable and overall healthy. But we found out Thursday from the vet that Precious has both male and female organs. We thought she had a hernia. The vet does not know what to do. Has anybody ever had this before? the vet says it's like one in 3 million. Any suggestions to help this darling.

Re: puppy with both sex organs
I think most of us have extremely limited knowledge of this. My own is confined to hermaphrodites is confined to pigs who were slaughtered at a fairly young age.
All without fail lived perfectly normal lives. However I believe that in the dog it can cause a propensity toward having a higher incidence of Pyometra and some hormonal problems, though neither of these may happen. I would have thought that any vet would need to know exactly what organs he may have to deal with in a future emergency by taking either x rays or scans. |
