Before the birth, Mummification is possible...

The MONSTER generally met in obstetrics veterinary surgeon is in fact Célosomian which is characterized by a thoracic and abdominal absence of closing , leaving the internal organs of these cavities without protection... (ten cases in 20 years of exercise)

I have two pictures off célosomian......Let me an E-mail to get them !

Another encountered case is the hydrocephalous (the cranium of the animal is increased by volume)

The pieces after operation..............................And the reconstitution of the calve !!

One also meets facial malformations related with the hare nozzle

Fissure off palate

And of curiosities.....(who are in fact due to the complete near junction of two Siamese twins)

Double tail.................................... And lower Mandible under the left ear of a quite alive lamb...!

Outline of supernumerary limb on a Foal

All these malformations do not have anything extraordinary when one thinks of the complexity of an organization of mammal...

These two calves are 1 month old ! It is a dwarfism case....

Now! Pull yourself together ! I propose a photograph .......more cool.
