A five-legged lamb, named Spider-Lamb, got a second chance at life after a Mississippi woman took him in just in time for the Easter holiday.
« He is definitely one loved lamb by everyone who sees him, » Natalie Renot told Fox News Digital.
Renot, who is passionate about rehabilitating animals that need a helping hand, said that Spider-Lamb was in rough shape when she rescued him earlier this week.
« My vet didn’t think he was going to pull through, » Renot said. « He was infested with maggots, and he had a bad infection and an extremely high fever, but he pulled through!! »

Renot said that the adorable sheep will undergo hernia surgery in April.
« Unfortunately, the hernia has to be corrected because his intestines are inside his testicles and that’s why they are so massive, » Renot explained. « It’s not something he can live with for a while. »
« We scheduled his surgery for the end of April to let it heal completely, so he’ll be healthy for his hernia surgery, » she said.
