My mother inlaw had the same problem this winter, she was scheduled for the surgery twice and did not go through with it either time, her eys eventually came out of it, however it was like that for 6 or 7 months she put up with it. So there is hope your little fella will come out of it.

Good Luck

: Hello! I'm going to pick up my new friends tomorrow! I can't wait!! There names are Xena and April! Thay both are 18 months old and of differant blood lones. In talking to their present owner he told me about a little health problem! You can read below what he told be about her! I was wandering if anyone else has this happen to their glider!

: One thing you should know aobut Xena is that she has this bludge on her neck.. its failry large, but it poses no threat to her.. I took her to the vet a few weeks ago to have it checked out. The vet withdrew a little of the fluid form the buldge and it is only salivia.. He said that apperently the duct to her saliva gland on that side is blocked and the extra saliva is buidling up.. It is not fatal, she is iun no pain form it.. The vet said itis just a cosmetic thign that she will have to live with. HE said thiscondition also occures in humans and other animals, and there is a surgery to correct it, but it has been never been done on somethign that small, so the best thign to do is just let it go.
