Intersex animals

I was watching a TV program about a veterinary clinic, and one of the cases was an intersex dog. It was both interesting and heartbreaking. The client came in because she said her female dog had some thing protruding from it’s genitalia. The vet discovered that the dog had both a vagina and a penis. I was happy to see proof that intersex varieties happen in all species. However, the vet explained that surgery was required because this would cause the dog problems. The vet performed surgery to remove the penis, and to spay the dog because she said she would not be a good candidate for breading . During the spay The vet also discovered the dog had an ovary on one side, and a testicle on the other side. What was truly heartbreaking was the vets continued use of the “H word “ to describe the dog. I’m wondering if anyone else has heard of, or experience with an intersex animal?
