I am desperate. I have no idea what happened or how.. But just this Monday (29th July, 2024), my sugar glider's skin (Not fur, skin.) went yellow. He suddenly has diarrhea and has problems defecating and urinating, his ears are droopy, and he cleans/licks his behind often. Despite this, he is eating and is his usual energetic demeanor, which I assume is a good sign? I'm just really worried for him. My dad gave him honey the night prior, do what you will with that information as I am no expert.

I gave him more fruit and worms. I'm trying my best to keep his nutrition stable while I wait for a time I can bring him in a checkup at the vets. I am quite busy and so are my parents, so it might take a while. I'll try and get him in as soon as I can but while I wait, I'd like some advice and maybe some theories about this disease?

I am deeply, terribly sorry if I posted this in the wrong place.. I am new to this website and I just need advice and help. There hasn't been any similar results when I search it up, either.. I love him very dearly and I just want the relief of knowing that hopefully, he'll be okay.

-Sincerely, Ray.

He has passed. I couldn't find a vet in my city that can take in Sugar Gliders.

Yesterday he wasn't playing like he used to, his body was limp. I gave him some honey and let him rest. He looked like he was getting better, his eyes had that shine of life in it.

Today, 4th of August, I woke up at 10 A.M. and checked in on him. I dreamt that he was healthy; happily eating his snacks and playing, but somehow it also felt like he was fading. Of course, that made me worry so I checked up on him and he was already stiff. He was gone. Now I look at his empty cage and I just feel lonely. He's not there to look at me whenever I give him food anymore, he's not there excitedly climbing up my arm when I come get him to play. He's not there.

I love him very dearly and now I hope that maybe we can meet again in the afterlife. Maybe we can play with his new toy that I got him. The new toy he never got the chance to play with.

-Sincerely, Ray.
