Abstract
Case Description- A three month Holstein female calf with a supernumerary limb in the caudal cervical region was delivered to a private veterinary clinic in Kashmar.
Clinical Findings- Clinical and radiographical examinations revealed a vestigial scapula, distally bifurcated humerus, two underdeveloped ulnae, two ossification centers for radius and more or less complete duplication of manus in the extra fore limb.
Treatment and Outcome- The supernumerary limb was removed surgically.
Clinical Relevance- Notomelia is a rare anomaly which according to absence of any other defects, can usually be treated surgically.
