German Shepherd with six legs, extra colon and penis has rare surgery

A German Shepherd born with six legs, four testicles, two colons and bladders, as well as an extra penis, was not expected to live past his young puppyhood. But after undergoing a series of complicated surgeries to remove his various ancillary organs and appendages, Raga is now a healthy seven-month-old dog.

Raga, a rescue, was brought to the clinic for the first time in the fall of 2021, not long after his birth.
