A five-legged lamb named Spider-Lamb was given a second chance at life after a Mississippi woman took him in just in time for the Easter holiday.
“He is definitely a lamb who is adored by everyone who sees him,” Natalie Renot told Fox News Digital.
Renot, who is passionate about rehabilitating animals who need a helping hand, said Spider-Lamb was in bad shape when she rescued him earlier this week.
“My vet didn’t think he would make it,” Renot said. “He was infested with maggots, he had a serious infection and an extremely high fever, but he made it through!!”

Renot said the adorable sheep will undergo hernia surgery in April.
“Unfortunately, the hernia needs 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 so that it would heal completely, so that he would be healthy for his hernia surgery,” she said.

“Its fifth stage will remain,” Renot said. “It doesn’t bother him at all.”

She said helping animals is one of the “most rewarding” things.
“It’s stressful, it’s depressing, it loses a lot of sleep, but it’s also the most rewarding thing to give your time to give an animal the opportunity to live,” Renot said.
