After watching the animals for 24 hours the decision was reached to have the twins humanly euthanized. Thanks for all advice and input on these little girls. It was a very unique and sad situation for me. R.I.P.
Conjoined twins are identical twins whose bodies are joined in utero. It is a rare phenomenon; it is estimated to range from 1 in 50,000 births to 1 in 200,000 births
Two contradicting theories exist to explain the origins of conjoined twins. The older and most generally accepted theory is fission, in which the fertilized egg splits partially. The second theory is fusion, in which a fertilized egg completely separates, but stem cells (which search for similar cells) find like-stem cells on the other twin and fuse the twins together.
Diplopagus: Conjoined twins joined equally with near complete body, only sharing a few organs.
