Could you be thinking of "Dr. Goat" by Georgiana

Worldcat doesn't seem to have a listing for it, but Bookfinder (www.bookfinder.com) has several listings for a book titled "Dr. Goat" written by "Georgiana" and illustrated by Charles Clement, which was apparently published in 1950 by Whitman Publishing as part of a series called "Tell-a-Tale". Could this be the one your patron is looking for?

Unfortunately it may be somewhat difficult to get hold of a copy; the prices listed by Bookfinder start at about $150 and go up from there. (If any Fiction-L'ers know why this book seems to be so high-priced, feel free to enlighten me.)
