Good Morning,
I apologize for any confusion I might have caused last night. Again, I was only reporting back to you what Vanessa was telling me and nothing more. I did not want to give anyone incorrect information, so I refrained from posting anything other than what I was told - and at the time I made that post, I had only be informed that Stitch was receiving two medications - the Valium and the Lidocaine.

I spoke with Vanessa a couple of minutes ago and she is sending me pictures of Stitch which I will post for you later this evening. She has informed me that he is in fact receiving the antibiotic Sulfatrim. He was in the ecollar all of last night and the site still looks clean, and still no swelling as of this morning. She handfed him the HPW Plus last night and he is eating and drinking normally. He is using the bathroom regularly, and he seems to be doing much better.

Cora,
I've been in touch with Vanessa regularly. He's doing fabulous, eating and drinking normally and still in the ecollar. She has him in a travel cage separate from his cage mate right now to prevent him from being overgroomed. She has been giving them completely supervised playtime together each evening in the tent.

Vanessa removed the ecollar from Stitch and has kept a close eye on him. He made it through the night, and hasnt groomed his cloaca at ALL. He's doing wonderful. This little one is in great hands<3 :hdance:

Vanessa is having surgery this Friday and will have to stay at the hospital overnight, so I will be taking care of Stitch and administering his antibiotics for her. Stitch is doing fantastic, it has been several days since Vanessa has used the ecollar with him, and he's been doing just fine without it. They have been doing tent time each evening and Stitch has not even attempted to groom himself - he looks great. The infected area is no longer red or swollen, and looks normal now. Stitch is still on antibiotics as the veterinarian found traces of the E. Coli Bacteria and he will remain on the antibiotics to kill it. Thank you all for the prayers and support! mlove

That's fantastic! Its awesome that you are there to help her out!

? So how would a glider get ecoli? Is there a way to prevent or is it just one of those things that can happen for no apparent reason?

My vet said it's because everything comes out of the same place. Roo and Abeje both had a UTI at the same time. After the first course of antibiotics with very little improvement, I asked for a c&s on both and found their UTI was caused by ecoli. They were given a different antibiotic and the next c&s showed the UTI's were clear on both suggies.

e coli is a naturally occuring bacteria in the gut of sugar gliders, as found by SUGAR Group studies. It can sometimes become problematic when it begins to grow in great numbers.

Vanessa is still recovering from her surgery this morning, so I'm going to go ahead and update this thread again. I have been keeping an eye on Stitch this evening for Vanessa, and administered his antibiotics. I also managed to get a couple of pictures of him, and his cloaca for everyone (attached). He has not groomed, or attempted to groom his cloaca at all - and it looks SO much better, not swollen, and no longer red/pink (any more so than normal). He will be on antibiotics for a few more days still, and after being separated from his cage mate Nemo, they have finally been reunited and are as happy as can be! I'm DELIGHTED that he is doing better! :hdance:
