In Reply to: A blanket loss statement.. I am So So sorry.. posted by Bourbon on June 23, 1999 at 21:13:28:

: I have recieved several emails these last few days regarding the losses of Gliders, I wish to extend my condolences to all the owners involved, My heart just breaks for all of you..The importance of having a vet nearby, haveing the access and means to utililize them was in several cases very very expensive. Parasites have been found with a few of them, the ones that took their gliders to the vet are doing much better. Some didn't find out till after it was too late. PLEASE everyone take the time, if something is , in anyway suspicious, GET THEM TOP A VET, don't write here FIRST>>> Call the vet...get prepared NOW have a vet that could help you WHEN you need it. which many times is the middle of the night.. Please this is sickening, please when you get a new glider , take it to the vet first thing, have it checked for parasites and other problems..

Eve's appointment was tomorrow. I agree with you. Maybe I could have saved her.
