What? Can a sheep be "popped"? Really? Please explain this to me.

Would someone with a farming background please let me know if this is even possible?

Here's the quote, along with the full article URL, below.

Vera Farmiga: (EDITOR'S NOTE: THEY ARE TALKING ABOUT SMALL ANIMALS.) They can wreak havoc. They can also be docile. It's personality, like us. I have a couple of sweeties.

You know where my obsession comes from? It's this thing where I had this pet as a child, a pet sheep. We overfed it and it popped. Oh, God, it was tragic. Tragic day! I have this thing where my last memory of it was my Mom trying to salvage something of it. She was just pulling out this wool. It's still sitting, to this day, in my mom's basement in New Jersey. A big satchel of it.

I've raised dogs, cats and helped with horses. I've never known an animal that would eat so much it would "pop" -- get sleepy, sick, or even vomit, sure -- but "POPPED SHEEP"?
I'm very suspicious about this.

Your opinion, please?

In peace,
