Funniest client episodes
This lady brings her sheep in for losing weight and ADR to the Food Animal service at A&M. The sheep is wearing a pink dress. The senior clinician excused himself from the room as we got a history (you could hear him laughing down the hall.) As it turns out, this ewe has never actually walked on grass. She eats hay, printer paper, and whatever she can get her mouth on inside the house. She also sleeps in the bed with the owner and is an indoor sheep.
