Well, I can't get ahold of my vet, and the emergency vets won't see him. Usually I can always get ahold of my vet. I have his home number. I'm driving Toby out in the morning. Well, the extra sound is probably most deffinatly why he's so scared. I'm not sure how to clean a Glider's ears though. They're so sqermy. Will he clean it himself when he gets accustomed to his new sercomstances? I'm worried about his other ear too. Will he lose this one as well? they were both the same. He stays with me all day, and his cage is right next to my bed now, so maybe he can smell me or see that I'm there. I used peroxide, and neosporin because another breeder I met online told me it was ok to use. I only used it three times, and it didn't look like it was working. Some one els told me today that neosporin itches. Could I have made him scratch his ear off? Neosporin doesn't itch my skin, but maybe it does them? Will he lose his hearing because of this injury? I just put some food in for him, and he's still eating and drinking great. He is on meds, could this be an illergic reaction? Some kind of parisite?
