Two Headed Piglet born in Ilocos Norte

A piglet with two heads was born which had four eyes, two noses and three ears was born in Barangay San Marcos, Dingras, Ilocos Norte last Tuesday night March 10, 2015 and later died 9 hours after it was born.

According to Crisanta Sabug the owner of the pig, the two-headed piglet was the 4th to be born by her pet pig on Tuesday night. She narrated that they assisted her pig during delivery after they noticed that it was having difficulty on giving birth. They were surprised when they saw that the piglet had two heads. This was the only one piglet born with defects among the 10 piglets. They immediately brought to their house and fed it with milk. Unfortunately the piglet died in the next day morning.

According to veterinarian Arthur Cabello, the piglet's mother may have suffered pregnancy complications which resulted in the abnormality of one piglet.

Sabug, meanwhile, said they will not bury the piglet. Instead, they will have it preserved which maybe the two headed piglet could bring luck to her family.
