Hi, My female glider had something simular but it was called Pyrometra, It was an infection that females some
times get when they dont breed or so my vet said. It is
very hard to cure if at all. She was also on the same
medication. But in the end she did not make it and died
in my hand. I did take it very hard but was glad that she
was not suffering any more. Mama-g was also very active
did not eat much and had a hard time using the bathroom.
I wish you luck.

: I just took my glider, Gizmo to the vet today because he has been acting different and she did a urinalysis and it turns out he has a bladder infection. Has anyone else's gliders had this. She sent me home with some immoxicillen. Any tips on getting it down him. The vet also sent away a fecal sample to a lab for a bacterial culture. She is looking for salmanilla (i am sure i spelled that wrong)bacteria. Gizmo was not really really sick. We just noticed that he was getting up much later, eating less, and being less social. Since he was up every morning running around when I got up I almost didn't take him to the vet because i thought I was just being paranoid, but now I am glad I did. I would really like to here from someone else who has been through this because even though he has medication I am still worried. Thanks
