Your Sg is is serious need of calcium and you should get him to a VET asap. Have you tried calling yours? They may have an emergency vet for you to go to today. You may try what cole did to help Rockie survive the night on Friday. He gave him juice fortified with calcium in a dropper. I would suggest the vet. Please read the posts about Romeo From "Male glider trouble...please help concerned mom", hopefully this will help you out with this disease. I would try to get to a vet as a priority, today. Please keep us posted. Try to keep his stress level down to a minium and full of fluids. If your SG is having trouble negotiating the cage. Try to get a hosptial tank set up. 10
gal. aquarium with a heating pad set on low, or a large reptile one. put it under half of the aquarium. Line it with a shirt of yours this will help bonding process if not already, but will help with your familular scent if so. Everything that we have done is written her in updates. Everything may not be correct but he is greatly improved. Don't hesitate to contact me ...Good luck and call that Vet.
