My Romeo had hind leg paralysis too. They shaved a part of his hip and it is growing back slowly. I would think that gliders loose their fur just like a dog depending on temps. so it should come back in. Romeo's is comming like peach fuzz. I hope you have increased his amount of protien in his diet too. This seems to be another problem with hind leg along with calcium. If you are giving him suppliments then you know it has to bee protien. When I switched to nothing but protien for 3 days, I saw a remarkable improvement.

Hope this helps....

: : Hello, everyone! I wish I joined Glider Gossip earlier...it's too much to catch up now!!!! I have a problem and I hope it's not a big one... My sugar glider was suffering from hind legs paralysis. Initially the vet gave him a calcium shot. As a result, my sugarglider's fur at the sight of the injection was kinda sticky and eventually got in the hard ball. My attempts to wash it out apparently didn't work because today he lost the hair at the sight of the injection. Stupid question: Will it grow back? Do I need to do something to help him? Thanks to everyone.

: If his hair loss was actually due to the stress that he endured then yes it should grow back. If his hair loss was actually due to trauma at the injection site,,,then I don't know. I have not heard of this before. Would you please let the rest of us know whether or not it does grow back?
