Abstract:
An Ouda lamb with supernumerary limb was presented to Veterinary Teaching Hospital, Usmanu Danfodiyo
University, Sokoto, five days post lambing. The
accessory limb was underdeveloped and attached to a
flocculating fluid filled skin flap located around the first 3 cervical vertebrae. The congenital anomaly was
diagnosed as the presence of supernumerary limb (SL), and was managed surgically. Surgical cor
rection under
sedation and local infiltration resulted in normal locomotion and better aesthetics of the lamb.
