Message: In Reply to: EMERGENCY!!!!!!!!!!!! posted by Dave on January 05, 1999 at 23:34:44: Keep her warm till morning... It could be stress, use dimmed light. Keep her in a quiet place, maybe with you and talk quiet and cooey type language. If it is something she was fed, I don't know what you can do 'till morning. I have heard of hypoglicemia (sp) in gliders and am unsure of the symptoms. I have an idea... My Gliders LOVE marachino cherry juice and it could be a quick burst of sugar for her, or try pepsi (not diet), they like that too. While they don't get either very often, when they do they go nuts. This worry's me in a glider that you just got that seemed active. Please let me know how things turn out... VR : I just got my first glider today...a 12 week old female. I got her back to my house and into her cage. She seemed very happy; exploring and checking everything out. She let me hold her and she ate some fruit. I cam into the room about an hour ago and saw her on the cage floor. She looked extremely sick. Her head is on the ground and she only moves in quick bursts as if she is just trying to muster enough energy to move. I picked her up and put in her nest box and she just stayed in the same position I put her in...not moving. I just brought her home today and I was wondering if stress could be the problem or if it could be something else. Please help...the only vet in town is closed because of a broken water pipe and for the few hours I have had her I have fell in love with the little thing.
