: ANY irratation will cause her to start chewing at it, have the vet check her for parasites, and a fungus infection as well. If he has some relief spray, he may want to try that on her as well, Also, if he must put her in an E-collar, have him put moleskin on it first as to not irrate her neck, and so he can get it on there a tad bit tighter.. Good luck and keep us posted..

I am sorry to reply that she passed away. The vet could offer no real explanation as to why. The raw spots had started bleeding but she was not picking at them if anything she was trying to avoid touching them on anything. she had even gone as far as hanging upside down from the wheel which is hooked in the top of the cage. Our other glider Quark shows no sign of infection or disease. Unfortunatly there dont seem to be any vets in the richmond va area that know very much about them.

thanks for the advice bourbon.
