A full-term Pattanam sheep was presented with a history of a ruptured water bag the previous night, accompanied by severe straining and the protrusion of two forelimbs and two hind limbs. Vaginal examination revealed a dry birth passage, and the fetal head was not palpable. Furthermore, the limbs could not be separated, raising suspicion of fetal monstrosity. Radiographic evaluation confirmed the presence of a fetal monster characterized by a single head, eight limbs, and two tails, consistent with monocephalus-thoracophagus-tetrabrachius-tetrapus-dicaudatus. The condition was successfully managed through partial fetotomy, enabling vaginal delivery.
