A DEVASTATED mum in China is begging doctors to help her seven-month-old son - who has a three-inch TAIL sticking out of his back.
Little Xiao Wei was born with spina bifida, which means his vertebrae didn't form properly.
The result is a growth that protudes out of the back of his spine and is STILL GROWING. Xiao's mum Chen, from Guangdong province, revealed: "We have asked the surgeons to remove the tail but they tell us it is not that simple."
Surgeon Huang Chuanping explained: �The growth is quite well developed and now measures some 10 centimetres.
