A false carotid aneurysm was diagnosed in an adult Suffolk sheep examined because of dyspnea and dysphagia associated with a parotid-area mass. Ultrasonography, radiography, and endoscopy were used to delineate the mass. Surgical excision was accomplished; however, the ewe's dysphagia failed to improve. This case illustrates an unusual cause of dyspnea and dysphagia in a sheep.
