Does your vet know your gliders by name without looking at the chart first? If not they should. I have read many a post about people who think their vet is too expensive to take them in for well visits. Money should NEVER be an option with the gliders,that is an issue that is discussed on every board, every downsides page, and all good research sites. The window of time between symptoms and illness, many times is much too small, not to have a vet you can trust, and one that is willing to see your glider at the drop of a hat if something (anything) is wrong. My vet has the gliders as a top priority pet, that means that if something don't seem right, if they are ill in any way, she will see them immediatly, that is including at 3:00 in the am if necessary...Poor Jessica just learned first hand how little time we have.. Your vet should also be well aware of that, if they want you to wait, and you feel it is important, push issues. but if you have a great relationship with your vet (as you should) then that vet will be able to see changes that you yourself don't. PLEASE make sure your vet learns your gliders..Please be sure you find a vet that you trust with your gliders life, you may have to some night..Don't wait till it is too late, Don't wait till they are sick. Do it when they are healthy, so the vet knows when something isn't right, even if you don't. Please do this for your glider...
