OMG I just go to the cage and Kadi is just laying on the bottom of the cage. she has never let me pick her up in the 4 years i have had her but i got her with a glove she crabbed a little but just gave up. she WONT move her legs or anything. she is breathing really shallow and is very weak. i can hold her on her back or just lay her down and she wont walk off or anything. has anyone ever delt with such a thing?

GET HER TO A VET!

i agree get her to the vet

I'd go to the vet ASAP.... No one here is a vet we cannot diagnose or help in any way. But a vet is your best bet right now!! I'd give you Val's (something_to_believe_in) number but I don't have it on me

You've seen this so many times in others' posts, I know - you have to get her to the vet NOW and don't let down your guard when she "takes a turn for the better."

24 hour vet. NOW

yes i know i need a vet,but i cant get her to the vet till the morning. i just talked to val but i just dont know what to do now. how will she eat or drink when she wont move. how often do they need water

Honey - I'm going to tell you straight up... and you won't want to hear it.

She won't make it until morning.

sadly, I agree. Not if she's not moving.

Emergency vets usually run 24 hours or very late into the night. Find one!!

She needs to be fed water with an eye-dropper or a syringe every 30 minutes. Mix a very small amount of honey into the water to try to keep her blood sugar up. She needs to be ON you to keep her body heat up.

You aren't going to be sleeping tonight at all if you want to keep her alive. So, give that idea up now.

If you have a vet for your glider, then call their number. They probably have an answering machine or answering service which will give you a phone number to call in an emergency. You really need to try to get her to the vet right now.

we dont have one here that will see gliders :(

Well let's hope she makes it till morning, I'm sure you will do everything you can for her. Keep her warm and hydrated that's the important thing!! I'll keep her in my thoughts tonight <3

Yeah, I was trying to look up exotic vets in Beaumont since it doesn't look like it is very far of a drive at all. I would definitely be calling them and get her to the vet immediately because I too don't think she will make it through the night.

val i read that already. seems like its her time. idk what has happened,but i cant get her to open her mouth. she isnt blinking.i dont know what to do. i have called everyone

honestly is there anything a vet can do at this point? shes gotten worse since 8pm

my vet is in beaumont . only 45min away.

You won't know unless you go. We cannot diagnose and say what happened.

If your vet isn't willing to see her tonight, call the other 2 vets that Val listed. You really need to get her to a vet now.

My prayers are with your baby girl.

i called everywhere in the area and no one will help me.

thank you for prayers, we need them

this is just awful! i cant find anyone to help me till tomorrow even with a vet consult. i have to some how find a way to get some rest for myself. i start a my new job tomorrow and have not worked since november! but my mom is going to take kadi to the vet in the morning if she is lucky enough to make it till then. i have not been able to get her to drink any water it just comes back out of her mouth and she does not even close her mouth back up. i guess what im going to do is make her as comfortable as i can and put her in the bottom of the cage so that if she wants to get up she dont have to climb down and the water will be close by. i just feel so awful and helpless. how did this happen so fast and why??? they have both seen a vet twice this month and they act like shes fine.. just please everyone pray for us. im having a really hard time here. i just thought i was gonna loose nibbler and now shes almost better now kadi. i just cant handle all this right now :*( thanks to everyone that has supported and helped us. i will keep updated just pray its not bad news when i come back.

I am really sorry to hear about Kadi. I'm going to take this moment to say to everyone who is reading this that THIS is why you have an emergency vet already picked out and why you need to have the vet consult phone numbers easily accessible. When there is an emergency there is no time to wonder who will see your glider. This is when preparedness comes into the necessary realm of exotic pet ownership.

were still alive,breathing is less now. hope to make it another hour
