Vanessa and I talked a little bit ago. She got her babies from me. I have e collars but unfortunately we live over an hour from each other. Tired to tell her how to make the ecollar. She might be able to get down here tomorrow. Vanessa call Dr. Schneider in the morning I am sure she will meet you. Keep me posted and call me if you need anything.

Thanks everyone for your help!

i cannot put the e-collar i made on him. He has not licked his genital area for about an hour and a half. it has gone down a lot but i know if i put him in the cage there is a possibility he can start at it again. I need to be up for work at 530 so I'm thinking just to have him on top of me until then. i will take him to work with me to watch over him. I tried and tried to put the e-collar but i couldn't do it. I will need to wait to get the proper e-collar form my breeder Maureen If he still licks it. i will keep u posted.

DO NOT use the Prep H UNLESS he is in an ecollar. Also do NOT use the oragel or anything else that can numb it UNLESS he is in the ecollar. If he licks it, it will numb his tongue and you could end up with even more problems.

I WILL help you, I am also in Boca Raton and I have experience both with self-mutilation and putting ecollars on. I am more than willing to show you how to do it and help you put it on. Please give me a call, I will PM you my phone number - it really is imperative that you get him in the collar. You can never really watch them "close enough" - they can do some serious damage within minutes and can cause themselves to be in even more pain. I am PMing you now, look for the flashing red envelope at the top of the screen...

She is at the vet they have sedated him but said if he doesn't stop they usually put them down. I don't her don't let them do that. He has not broken the skin and is sleepy. Trying to convince her to get down here to get the e collar and call dr Schneider. In communication with her

I just got off the phone with Vanessa. She's at the emergency clinic in Tamarac. They don't have much experience with Gliders, if any. I refuse to take my Gliders there because their solution to everything is, "oh, just put them down." She is taking him to Dr. Schneider now and if she still needs help, she's going to call me. Maureen is closer to the other vet than I am, so Vanessa is going to try and get help from her with the ecollars. She's welcome to call me AT ANY TIME If she has questions or needs help. I will be keeping this little one in my prayers. :-)

I have no experience with these issues, but from what I have read, there certainly seems to be no reason to put this glider down this early. Seems too soon to make a decision like that.

Hope everything is going better for him today! Good luck!!

Not yet, I'll let you know. Last I heard she was headed down to the other vet and possibly going to see Reeny. She's supposed to call me back shortly.

Vanessa took Stitch down to see Dr. Schneider who created a temporary "ecollar" for him. Maureen and I are heading over there to check on him. I am bringing several different ecollars. I also have ejackets if need be. We will find something that works with him. I just wanted to give everyone an update. As of right now, he's fine, still very sleepy - I will post again in a bit after I see him. Thanks for all the prayers! Keep them coming! :-)

Aimee,
He has some type of infection, she did not specify but I am heading over there now to check things out and help her as much as possible. The vet has prescribed both Lidocaine and Volume for him which he will start this evening. I will continue to keep everyone posted on Stitch's condition - thank you again for the continued thoughts and prayers, it is greatly appreciated.

Connie,
No. The veterinarian just prescribed him the Lidocaine and Volume. That being said, they aren't the most intelligent group of veterinarians. I'm going to refer her to the vet that I use and see what they have to say. She took him to the emergency clinic.

Do you mean valium?

Lidocain and valium are not antibiotics. That does not make sense if he has an infection.

Sorry, I got busy with emergency calls myself last night and forgot to come back to this. Not that it would have done any good if I had found those threads, as it seems this little one has something else going on.

I'm available by phone if needed. sounds like this little one has a large support system. I have no doubt he will be fine.

Val,
Yes, Valium. My phone has autocorrect and although it's helpful at times, it can be quite annoying at others! This prescription was given to her by Dr. Schneider and it does not make much sense to me either. The little one seems to be doing okay as of right now. The infected area is still pink, but no skin has been broken and he is in an ecollar.

lidocane is a pain killer and an anti-inflamatory the valium is to get him to relax.. it looks to me more to be a swollen infected anal glan, and for that there are not meds, to reduce the swelling would be primary concern at this point.. and I believe that is the direction the vet is going with this one,
BE SURE THE COLLAR STAY ON !!

have the vet do a consult with dr fronfield in texas
http://www.myabcvet.com/
I don't think there is a vet in the country that has more experience in that area.

also be sure to send him a picture.. if it is in agreement that this is indeed an anal glan a consult to dr Ness
http://www.nessexotic.com/

the importance of these consults are imperative.. especially with vets that are not sure but suspect.

Yes, but if this little one has been determined to have an infection, then why are there no antibiotics? I don't quite understand that.

I agree with you Aimee, I definitely think this little one should be put on antibiotics. Hoping and praying for a speedy recovery and fast healing!

Good Evening,
I just wanted to stop in and give everyone a quick update, as I know you've been waiting. I visited with Vanessa this evening, and I demonstrated to her how to put the ecollar on properly and how it should fit. I had her do it herself several times before leaving her with the ecollars. Maureen and I left her with several so she will have them on hand from now on. Maureen and I have both explained to her that it is absolutely IMPERATIVE that the ecollar stays on at all times - and if she needs help with ANYTHING, she can call - I will have my phone on me 24/7, and I am around the corner from her.

I have to admit, when Cora texted me and told me to come look at this thread, I was expecting the worst when I saw the pictures. I was very pleased when I arrived at her house and got to meet little Stitch. He was recently neutered, and the neuter site looks very clean - not pink at all. On the other hand, his cloaca was barely pink and no longer swollen. It looks NOTHING like it did the other day, I will ask her if she can get a couple of pictures for you. As I mentioned above, the veterinarian has prescribed the Lidocaine and Valium - I have directed Vanessa back to this post so she can read what Bourbon has written. At this point in time, the veterinarian believes it to be a Urinary Tract Infection, but I have explained to her that it is crucial we confirm this.

This little boy is definitely in good hands, Vanessa knows what she is doing and if she needs help, she knows we are here for her. All of the prayers and thoughts are greatly appreciated. I am very glad I had the opportunity to help this little guy and his mom out! :-)

That's great that it looks better...I'm assuming the UTI is something different - never seen it presented quite that way. Also...if there IS a UTI, there should STILL be antibiotic so I'm confused as to why none has been prescribed??

You know I get so tired of everyone jumping to conclusion. Of course Dr Schneider gave an antibiotic. I am sure once the culture comes back that she will also adjust it if she has too.

This is why I am never on the boards any more always melodrama!!!!!

Stitch is looking fine adjusting to the e collar. The area really doesn't look to bad.

Dr Schneider is a wonderful vet she knows sugar gliders very well. I will defend her and trust her immensely. Just because Lauren who is not medically inclined didn't report an antibiotic doesn't mean one wasn't given.

Just to let you all know I got into an accident on the way home tonight. Vanessa is about an hour and a half away. On the way home two car got into an accident exiting the turnpike. It was a hit and run. The one car went across all three lanes of the highway . I was in the far left lane the car hit spun across the highway and slammed into me.
It was not a good night.

So don't attack my vet until you all have all the facts!!!!!!!

Reeny...I meant no disrespect to your vet. The information we were going off were the updates that Lauren was giving to us and that's all we could go on. No one was judging or making assumptions. Connie asked if antibiotics and pain meds were given, and Lauren answered - no antibiotic mentioned. Further down, after meeting with you, she answered with this so again, no mention of antibiotics. No one was assuming...we were asking and were told what we were told. We had nothing else to go on.

At this point in time, the veterinarian believes it to be a Urinary Tract Infection, but I have explained to her that it is crucial we confirm this.

I know it was based on what Lauren said but before you know it will be what kind of vet and how could she not have prescribed an antibiotic.

But that is how everyone jumps to conclusions instead of waiting for the facts.

I am a nurse and I can tell that dr. Schneiders clinical skills are wonderful. In fact Vanessa was so glad she diagnosed what was going quickly. I am too cause stitch is a sweetie. I am really glad he is in the ecollar and doing better. Hopefully in a few days he will forget and be better.
