Good morning,
Yes. My glider gets a prolapsed cloaca- which bleeds- when she's been straining to go to the bathroom and has had diarrhea. This condition needs immediate attention! If you're seeing that, your glider will need to see a vet and you will also need to make sure she isn't dehydrated. A short term way to address the problem is to give the glider pumpkin for the digestive problems, and a little yogurt with active cultures. And of course, make she she drinks.

Good luck to you!

Good to know. I'll do that. Thanks

I've emailed my vet *she's not always in the clinic* a photo of it and said that it looked like hemorrhoids. I went to the vet too before that and they gave her a week of swelling meds and It still looks pretty the same after. They said not to worry but I cant help but worry even if they are not sure what it is. Especially one of my glider just passed away from lymphoma which makes me even more skeptical.


So I'm wondering if any of you'll here had a case like that. Oh, I noticed she makes popping sound even when she's awake. Is it bcz of the uncomfort of it or am i just overthinking it.

Popping sound when breathing may indicate lung infection, although it could be her way of trying to sooth herself like an ill cat purring to self comfort.
