Please help, my suggie just started acting really sick and I think she's dying.. it happened so fast. She's really cold and barely moving at all and when she tries it's really slow and wobbly. She seems too weak to keep her eyes open and her ears are flat against her head.. she was also choking up this kind of solid stuff and I think it was her mango chunks but I'm not sure.. We have her in a heating pad and we're trying to give her water but please if anyone knows what's wrong or anything I can do to help her until I can get her to a vet. It's 3am and no vet is open that treats suggies :(

Praying for you and your suggie !

I'm so sorry Kaylee. They do go downhill so very fast sometimes. It sounds like you did the best you could during the night. I hope that you are now able to get her to a vet. Sometimes the vet can give a sub q and some glucose can to them going a little bit while they work on finding the problem.

I wish you and your glider the best.

Sorry there is nothing that we would really be able to help with... Can you find a vet that has a 24 hour call center or a alert so that a vet can be reached? (I know that is a hard task but in cases like this it is needed!)

im praying for you and your baby!!!

She made it through the night and is sleeping with her brother in their pouch. I took her to the vet and they couldn't find anything wrong except for that she was really dehydrated so she treated her for that. Thank God she pulled through but she still isn't 100% okay. Thank you all for your prayers and words of comfort :( I just hope she makes it.

It is all very odd. The fact that she was dehydrated but they found nothing else? Is this a vet that you have used for some time and that you know to be very experienced with gliders? Not all are, but will say they are familiar with them.

It sounds like she is still going to need some TLC to make it through this.

Why do you think she became dehydrated? ie: heater on in house, no sufficient access to water bottle, not enough hydration from juicy fruits/veggies and a nectar like stable diet?

Has she been eating well recently, and what is their diet? Can you think back and come up with anything else that could have been a sign that things were starting to go wrong, however slight. They hide their illnesses for a very long time...up until it is almost if not too late. Diarrhea? Weakness, lethargy, shaking? Change in sleep patterns. Hissing while urinating? Constipation...hissing while trying to poop?

There just has to be more to the story. It's only in her best interest to try to see this through 100%.

So glad she made it through the night and to the vet.

Did they do a fecal and urinalysis? Dehydration is a symptom of something going on. I would call your vet and ask to drop off a fecal ASAP and get a urine if you can. I do this by taking a new Rubbermaid container and pouring almost boiling hot water in it to clean it well, kind of pour it in and swish it around for a few minutes then dump it and let it air cool. Then try to get your glider to pee into it you can either set them in it and hope they pee. If they do not let them walk around in the cage when they first wake up with nothing in the cage and a clean cage pan. It will not be sterile but it will be a start.
They will almost always pee and poop when they first get up. Now is a good time since she got SQ fluids today.

Hope this baby feel better soon. Please keep us posted on her.
