My one glider Coco's pouch looks very normal to me. Nice and pink and furry inside.

My other glider skittles looks very weird to me. Its wrinkeled and when i spread it open with my fingers it is red and no fur and has these bumpy looking things all over it and somewhat looks like there may be a bump with fluid? Im not really sure how to describe it. She is acting normal but she does not let me get a very good look at it either. Does this sound normal?

No, this does not sound normal....a normal glider's pouch should look and feel just as your described it with your first glider....pink, furry, and smooth. Redness, bumps, possible fluid are all indications of a pouch infection...a vet visit is needed. What you worry about here is self-mutilation if she does in fact have an infection because she might be in pain...do you have an e-collar on hand just in case?

If I were you, I'd take her into a vet ASAP so she can be appropriately examined and then treated with medication if needed....

This sounds like a pouch or yeast infection. I'd suggest going to the vet and having an ecollar handy just in case, as both are very painful.

I would agree with needing immediate vet care. One of my gliders is working on getting over a pouch infection. I noticed something weird about 2 weeks ago and just kept watching her for about a week and took her to the vet last friday and she had gotten a lot worse in just a day. Because it was a bacterial infection it also lead to HLP which can be very serious if not caught early enough. Thankfully she is doing better but is on 4 different meds twice a day right now. Keep us updated and let us know how your baby is doing smile

This is bad we have no money and my husband wont let me take her to the vet. We have home owners insurance to pay for and are waiting on our taxes to help pay off credit cards. This is happening at such a bad time. We do our taxes tomorrow. I don't know what to do. I am so scared right now.

Your little one needs immediate vet care (if Connie says so, I believe it...). You can apply for Care Credit online, which gives you 6-12 months interest free on vet care. You can also explain your situation to a vet and ask if you can either have deferred payments or get on a payment plan, even if its only something like $15 a month....most vets are willing to work with you, especially in the case of an emergency like this. To be sorta sneaky about it, just show up unannounced at the vet's office and explain your situation in person. Only a jerk vet will turn you away with a sick animal in hand, especially if you tell him you've applied for Care Credit and will work on paying your bill. Those are just a few options. Regardless, your baby is sick and needs medical attention ASAP....

Can you tell your husband that she's in extreme pain and could die? Maybe if you cried? Begged? Bargained? What about a relative or friend? Is there anyone you can get to help you and you can pay them back with your taxes? Do you work? Maybe your boss could give you an advance? Is there anything you can pawn?

A pouch infection is definately not something can wait on and it will NOT heal on its own. She really needs to see a vet ASAP.

I too have an 8 year old girl who is recovering from a pouch infection. First I noticed that she had lost a little bit of weight and the next morning I could tell her pouch looked wrong. I took her in and she was dehydrated (because of her infection), she had to be subque'd 3 times (twice at the vet that day and once a few days later for her recheck) and is on medication and her pouch has also had to be thouroughly cleaned (by the vet).

My little girl is doing much better and I caught it early enough before it got worse.

When it comes to gliders you really need to get them into a vet at the FIRST chance you notice there is a problem because they can go downhill very fast.

Where there is a will there is a way.

Wishing your baby all the best and a speedy recovery.

Connie, is there a way, even if requiring the OP's permission, that pictures of this (or any) pouch infection could be shared with the rest of us?

I think it's important that all members be educated as to what such a thing looks like...

I myself don't even know. dunno

Thanks.

I'm in the same boat! Never seen one. Though I'm sure I would recognize something was wrong, it might be helpful to have an idea of what....

Any pictures we can share?

I'm with you. I'm sure I'd notice if something was wrong. I'm really nitpicky and am ALWAYS examining my gliders. They probably think I'm obsessed. tounge

BUT.. It would still be nice to actually KNOW what it looks like.

Judge not until you have walked in their shoes and lived their lives. What you see online is only part of the story.

I could have missed the pain
But I'd of had to miss the dance

My jaw hit the floor with the first pic. I am amazed the poor baby hadn't SM'd.

The vet prescribed antibiotics and an anti-inflammatory. REFUSED to give pain meds or an ecollar!

Connie, can you tell me.. Why might a glider, one that hasn't had joeys ever, or recently, get a pouch infection?

The pouch is a cavity that has an opening. It is warm and moist. Any such type thing is vunerable to bacteria getting in and growing.

I could have missed the pain
But I'd of had to miss the dance

I'm afraid you'll have to ask someone with more experience. I really don't know. My best guess is a female just maturing and being over zealous in cleaning her pouch or perhaps an accidental scratch that got infected.

I'd like to know this too!
