my weird continues as a brother and sister Rex rabbit pair yesterday, one the male had one normal teste and one inguinal/abdominal the size of a small cotton bud, and his sister ( who was originally sexed as a male) looks female on examination, but 20 minutes of studying his/her abdomen revealed nothing that I could identify as female reproductive tract.go figure.

[quote user="Dermod Malley"]That's pandicidal, not homicidal.[/quote]Nah...homicidal:

A panda walks into a café. He orders a sandwich, eats it, then draws a gun and proceeds to fire it at the other patrons.

"Why?" asks the confused, surviving waiter amidst the carnage, as the panda makes towards the exit. The panda produces a badly punctuated wildlife manual and tosses it over his shoulder.

"Well, I'm a panda," he says. "Look it up."

The waiter turns to the relevant entry in the manual and, sure enough, finds an explanation. "Panda. Large black-and-white bear-like mammal, native to China. Eats, shoots and leaves."

That's pandicidal, not homicidal.

I removed "testes" XXY from the pathologists at AHT.

I'm astonished by this. I never thought you had a degree on human medicine, or that surgical castration of humans was in anyway an ethical procedure.

Wow, and what are the chances of finding more than one Klinefelter syndrome, in the same profession and at the same work place?

Didn't know AHT operated in humans either...

[quote user="Martin Atkinson"]once saw a tortoiseshell male cat, had normal external male genitalia and was castrated. It did make we wonder if it was a hermaphrodite but I never had a look inside. Not seen one before or since, anyone else?[/quote]

We have one who belongs to our receptionist. I removed "testes" XXY from the pathologists at AHT.

How many people have seen canine segmental caudal vena cava aplasia found on ultrasound in 3yo Collie M(N) with reduced activity and mild azotaemia? Confirmed by CT. The thrombus in the CVC is v large.

Yes, I saw one a few years ago and the owner was totally bemused at my excitement!

I see your atresia ani and raise you one feline hermaphrodite, confirmed by RVC's referral bods ;)

I've had one of those this year too. Female externally, ginger and white, on neutering 3 vets could not find uterus so moved to full ex lap and next to kidneys found two small whitish things - sent off and came back as testicles. Owner was pleased when I described their cat as non-binary!

[quote user="Michael Woodhouse"]Seen that in healthy adult sheep a number of times.[/quote]

Me too, including one which had had several lambs and was only noticed when I went to take its temperature. I thought I was going mad, had to very carefully and rationally run through in my head the anatomy of the sheep, it all seemed so natural and normal. Particularly when she passed a load of perfectly formed faecal pellets out of her vulva as I was taking stock - weird!
