:For bladder infections, it is best to get both urinalysis and a urine culture performed. This enable the best antibiotic to be used. Amoxicillin (correct spelling :)) is appropariate in the majority of cases, but won't treat them all. Pyometra (correct spelling :)) is not a common problem in sugar gliders. In other species the animals usually drink a lot with this problem. Spaying the animal will prevent pyometra. Also Salmonella (corect spelling :)) is a gram negative organism that will cause a nasty gastroenteritis. It has not been commonly reported in sugar gliders.
