Why Did the Chicken Cross the Road? To Find Help!
Last Friday, a brave little hen made headlines after attempting to cross a four-lane highway in peak traffic! 🚗🚛 Thanks to a few quick-thinking Good Samaritans, she was safely rescued and brought to the Animal Emergency Centre Gold Coast.
Our team quickly noticed signs of heat stroke - she was panting and lethargic - so we got to work with a cool foot bath, gentle fan, and close monitoring. Within minutes, she perked up, started chatting and enjoyed some much-needed TLC. 💛
By afternoon, this lucky hen was off to a loving foster home to start her next chapter. 🏡💚 A huge thank you to everyone who helped her reach safety - true heroes!
🔥 Remember: Even chickens can suffer from heatstroke in high temps. Keep your pets cool, shaded, and hydrated this summer.
