• Abstract:

  Chimerism is a condition in which an individual is composed of two or more genetically different populations of cells. In dogs, although rare, this condition can manifest as genital anomalies, fertility problems and hormonal disorders. In this context, the objective of the present study was to report the surgical intervention in a male dog that was born with limbs and sexual organs with duplication and aplasia in anomalous tissues. Postoperative recovery was satisfactory during the 4-month follow-up.
