While everyone else was getting ready for trick-or-treating on Halloween , one little penguin was facing a very different kind of fright .
Spook was first spotted lying desperately unwell on the beach at Silver Sands . This little bird needed someone to notice him, make a call and give him a chance.
Thankfully , our team received a call and we sprang into action. By the time our rescuers arrived, darkness had fallen, and Spook was still lying helplessly on the beach .
He was rushed to our dedicated bird triage room , where we provided urgent rehydration fluids and warmth, followed by a comprehensive assessment by one of our dedicated vets.
Spook was very anaemic and fighting a severe infection . We started medication and continued fluids and supplementary feeding, doing everything we could to support his fragile little body, so far he is responding well to treatment and is enjoying regular swims and his fish.
Spook’s story carries an important reminder: not every sick bird has bird flu . Birds still suffer from other infections, injuries, dehydration and starvation. They still need help, and assuming every unwell bird has bird flu can mean missing the chance to save a life
