A rare calf born with two faces – four eyes, two noses, two mouths and two ears – continued to flourish today, eight days after its birth at a southwest Louisiana farm in the US.The owners of Breaux Farms LLC in Cossinade, a community about 145 kilometres west of Baton Rouge, said the calf, which appears normal from the ears back, was named "Deux Face".Attribution: Breaux Farms
"We know this calf will have a short life span and will most likely only live a few days," Dawn Breaux said.Most calves with polycephaly, the condition of having more than one head, are stillborn. Some live for several hours or days.At 8 days old, Deux Face is making slow progress under the care of several veterinarians and the Breauxs, the Facebook posts said.
"She is not standing on her own yet so she is unable to nurse on her mum. We have been bottle feeding her from the start."Deux Face is using a sling for support as she works on building her leg muscles. An update from the Breauxs says they "brought her outside to get some sun and a little time with the other cows.
"We are monitoring her constantly and taking it day by day. She has beaten many odds, but only time will tell her fate. "We are hoping for the best and preparing for the worst. This is the reality of caring for God's creations."
