: About an hour ago, I found my female glider on the bottom
: of the cage. She was shaking quite violently and arching
: her back, trying to look up. She was kind of dragging her
: feet along the bottom of the cage, but her back legs are
: still working. She seems really disoriented... kind of
: dizzy. Her nose is also dark purple in colour, and her
: pouch is kinda distended. (Although this may be because
: she just had 2 babies in November.) I am fully aware of
: the hind leg paralysis, but it doesn't seem like that's the
Did you figure out what was wrong with her? Is she ok?
: case. What could this be? She keeps arching her back constantly...
: It's almost as though she can't see what's above her. She isn't crying or anything... Very quiet. But she's still trying to move around quite a bit... just not hardly as much as usual. Any and all help I could get would be so great... and sorry if this post is a little screwed, using a text based browser...
