For 11 days we have had our pet in the hospital on and off.X-Ray showed a bowel blockage early on. The blockage with medication passed. But the autopsy showed a massive infection in its bowels and the heart was slightly enlarged due to endocarditis.The little guy had eaten on the dowel that is found in most cages. Please be aware that the wood in your gliders cage can cause this type of problem. We had our sugar glider for two years. We are heartbroken over his death this Memorial weekend.
