That is why he was given the nickname hope. However, two weeks have passed, the baby grew stronger, and a fifth leg, he did not interfere. As told by the owners, the lamb was taken to the vet where advised not to do the surgery for the amputation of excess hoof, because it does not cause the animal any discomfort.
