ARGGGGG!! This vet in Ferguson, MO (who is on our vet list) is really ticking me off... We went in yesterday 4pm and waited for him for hour and a half and when he finally gave us the meds, he says "I dont know the dosages, Ill call around tomorrow morning" Yea well Ive called him 6 times today and each time he's been busy or "is playing phone tag with the other vets" he's called. So finally... its 8:31pm and he calls and says "no one has called me back"
Whatever! Uggghhhh The problem is mainly with the Baytril. He only had pill form and mixed it with an unknown amount of saline to make it liquid. So no other vets can tell me what the dosage is!

Im so ticked right now.

UPDATE:

Here's the scoop:
He was doing awesome on Friday and Saturday afternoon... his penis was all the way inside and he was acting like normal...
Until yesterday when we had both gliders in a pouch near us and we heard some crabbing that didnt seem to stop. We looked in the pouch to find that his penis had been biten. We immediately seperated them and put him in an ecollar. We bought some neosporen plus as bouron suggested, and have been applying that to his penis's. We had them seperated for 24 hours,and after talking with bourbon, we decided to put them together again and watch them verrrry closely. Sure enough, she did something he didn't like. I dont know if she bit him or just licked him and it hurt, but we seperated them again. He's still on baytril and flagyl, and we have an appointment Tuesday for a nueter.(pom removal type). In the meantime, we have put him in our extra cage (a rept) and made the appropriate cage modifications. (Hung a fleece coated tube 3" above the floor (bourbons idea), we have the cage laying so the height is 2' so he doesnt fall far, we made fleece covers for the pvc of the rept and sewed in key rings for attaching things, we made a water bottle holder out of fleece, we bought a tube bird type feeder with a small trough so he can eat bml with his collar on, and a fleece holder for it, he also has a empty coffee can on its side with fleece blankets as a bed choice(mary h's idea). We also had the idea to use a pouch protective pouch but hung it so one side is attahed to the left side of the rept and the other side to the right which kinda forms a big hammock and he favors this..)

FOr anyone who has been thru a nueter after sm: what type of things should i watch for after his nueter? He will be in his collar so sm wont be a problem...

Ha, thats ok MoesMom. Good to talk to you today too

UPDATE!
Tork is doing really well. He's acting like normal, hating his ecollar, and eating well... (although all we've tried so far is mealies crazy )
OK.. heres how my day went:
FIRST I get up at 6am to get Tork and his things ready... I get this funny feeling so I call and verify my appointment for surgery. Nurse says "I dont have you in her book... In fact she has no appts today. She's not coming in. Leave her a message, she'll call you tomorrow." What!? I think about that for a while... then I call back and ask again. This nurse calls the doctors home and asks her. And voila, she WAS planning on coming in for torks surgery, and that was her only surgery for the day.

So I take him in. Im nervous, scared, and over thinking everything. Finally, I get his temporary cage set up at the doc's, fill out the papers and leave.

Heres the fun part. When she called to say Tork was doing great, she was a whole different person. She was sweet as pie when i met with her before.. She was all "these tips come from people who have had sm's before? I guess theres merit there, then... Oh you want to use that medicine cuz it works well for sm's? no problem..." HA. Today, when she called to tell me how tork was, First she says they took the ecollar OFF. OMG lady do you even know what a sm is?! I even told the nurse specifically that it MUST NOT COME OFF!!!! mad

Then I asked her about pain meds and she said she uses metacam. shock Not good. I personally dont want to risk liver damage for my baby... So I nicely asked for torb instead, and after arguing back and forth, she says:

"Well, we can argue about this all day but I have other surgeries to do so heres the deal. Take the metacam from me or go to another vet for the torb." First of all, i know for a fact that tork was her only surgery for the day... tant Can you believe her?! Ohhh I was livid...

BUT I talked to some great ladies who calmed me down, and Ill only use the metacam for 3 days to prevent liver damage.. and best of all, TORK IS DOING WELL! laugh

Awesome. I'm glad he's doing good. hug2 I know how hard vets can be to deal with sometimes (and yes, we have had SMs and know this from that)-I told one I'd break his face if I ever saw him again, so... And no, most vets used to dealing with domestic animals realize what a glider can do-they're not used to an animal that can and will kill itself in under an hour, and at that point you are your glider's only advocate-even if it means you have to get nasty, risk alienating the vet, and maybe find another. Way to go on holding your ground. agree

Keep updating on the little guy.

Im glad he's ok too. As I write this he is sleeping in my tank top.. Happy and healing. The only thing, after all is said and done, is Im sad that he will never be a father. Im sad Mellie wont be a mother. Im sad I wont be a grandmother. I really wanted to have one pregnancy with Mellie where we could watch the babies grow and learn, and to experience the kind of bond i imagine you can only have when you helped raise a glider from a baby. I really wanted to just experience this once, have a nice glider family, and THEN get him nuetered.

BUT its still worth not having that, for Tork to be alive and healthy. He's my sweet little baby, and Im so happy he's going to be ok.
