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.

We hate to sound like a broken record…. But we really hate seeing your pets like this 😞
If your pet is not on tick prevention, please contact your regular vet today & get started.
Prevention is always cheaper than cure, and more reliable.

‼️ Paralysis Tick Alert ‼️

Rocky is one of the lucky ones ❤️

After his little body was overcome by the venom from the paralysis tick that attached to him to feed, he required ventilation & 24/7 critical care until he was able to breathe for himself again.
Prevention is ALWAYS the answer, so if your pet is not currently protected from paralysis ticks please contact your vet immediately to get advice on what is best for your best friend.❤️

☀️ Hydration hydration hydration!! Give your pet access to lots of water
☀️ Plenty of shade, fans and AC
☀️ Walk pets early in the morning or late in the afternoon and be extra careful with brachycephalic breeds
☀️ Test the ground before walking anywhere, if it’s too hot for your feet, it’s too hot for your pets
☀️ Never leave pets in the car ❌ it can take less than 6 minutes for your pet to overheat in a hot car!

🌼 R U OK? 🌼

At AEC, we know the veterinary profession can be incredibly rewarding, but it also comes with unique challenges. Long hours, emotional cases, and the pressure to always give your best can take a toll on mental health. 💛

❤️Asking a simple “Are you OK?” can make a huge difference.
🖤Listening with compassion can help lighten someone’s load.
💛 Reaching out for support is a sign of strength, not weakness.

Let’s stand together in support of veterinary mental health and encourage open, kind conversations—today and every day. 🐾
