Holy crap! How did the vet explain the "walking dead" part?

I had a pygmy goat killed by lightning late one night. Knowing the coming day would be a scorcher, I stayed up til first light to bury him. He had been flash-fried in the standing position, though he fell over afterwards. (Sorry for the gross visual.) I had to wrap him in plastic and weigh down the legs with bricks. (Again, so sorry for the visual.) Lightning is a funny thing. Part of the same charge ran up into the house. Lightbulbs on the same circuit popped, except for the ones already turned on.

I hope this kitty makes it OK with his missing nose.

Apparently all her "higher nerve functions" were fried. (deaf, blind, etc. and was simply "existing" if you can call it that until her body ran out of energy)

Think "zombie"

And no, llamas are far from "stupid"

All too common.
