Jan 19, 2026 - after she is so weak she can't climb, throat so closed up she can't swallow even a drop of water, listening to her gagging and whining, I couldn't let her continue to suffer and took her and Radarr (to keep her company during her last momments with us) to the local exotic vet. The vet tried to draw off fluid from her swolen right jaw, but got no fluid - only tissue. She suggested my Darling Starling be euthanized... After a few more minutes cuddling her for the last time and looking into her eye (the right one appeared to be blind from the jaw swelling) reading eachother's soul and understanding we'll see eachother again at the Rainbow Bridge, I released her to my vet. She was cremated the next day and placed into the urn w/Aerrow (dad) and Piper (mom) with her name and date of departure engraved on it next to theirs... The problem she had is best understood in this video: https://youtu.be/U0MgG5Yohxk Facial Swelling in Sugar Gliders Means Something Serious Is Already Wrong ...their teeth are so tiny, and easily infected, which is hard to detect until already too late :-(
