I just got back from taking my babies in for a fecal float/smear, their tests came back NEGATIVE! Alicia (queenduck) brought 4 of her's in and they all came back NEGATIVE too! I hope we hear the same news about all the gliders!

Sekwaf was tested Wed - he was neg for the strongyle, but had something else questionable, so that was referred to a parasitologist, who determined today that it was oak pollen!

Does a person need to be concerned if they bought toys or pouchs from a infected household?

Well, took my 7 today. They all tested positive for giardia... I am sooooo sad. The good news is that they are all asymptomatic. the rescues had several in their poo (1-2 per view). Sampson and Delialah only had 2 in their whole sample. So, to be on the safe side we are treating with panacur 3 days on and then the 10th day. Sampson and Delilah can't be treated due to the new joey so they are coming to our bedroom until we can treat them. Recheck of fecals in 4 weeks. If the panacur didn't take care of it, then I'll suggest flagyl.
I will be doing fecals every three months for a year. I am just sooooo happy we caught it so early.

Sorry to hear that Brittney.
Karen M. - please contact everyone that adopted from you and advise them to treat. EVERYONE That adopted a glider from Karen should be testing since these showed up with Giardia. They were at the Ohio gathering as well, weren't they Brittney?

Brittany - could you please post a bit of history on your 7? When did they come to your home? From where?

I can help a bit with that - I know Brittney is very busy and may not be back on for a bit. Sampson and Delilah are from (PPP) Perfect Pocket PetsAt least 4 of the others are from the 18 rescues Karen Milas took in earlier this year. Don't know about the 7th.

Ok, Val is correct, S&D are from (PPP) Perfect Pocket Pets(I have had them since March). 4 are from Karen but she had all 18 tested in September, they all came back negative but were treated just in case. The 7th is S&D's joey that came oop Monday. My gliders were never in direct contact with any other gliders in Ohio. Two of the rescues I have had for 4 weeks, the other 2 I have had for 2 weeks. The giardia numbers are VERY low so this is very recent. A lot of the gliders from the Ohio get together have been tested for parasites and it seems everyone has come back negative. But, I will admit, I made a mistake. I knew Karen quarantined the 18 while they were with her and knew they had been vet checked. So, I did not personally quarantine here. I honestly think though, that since Giardia can be hidden until times of stress, that the trip to Ohio may be what brought this out.

Peggy, can you please check into what the effects of OTC meds would have on gliders. It was mentioned that some mill type breeders have treated gliders with "OTC worm meds" and I'd like to know what that would do to the gliders or parasites. Will the meds really kill the paraisite or just "cover" them for a time? Will or could it make the glider or parasite immune to treatment? We have a few gliders that seem to be harder to beat than what we are hearing from most vets. Is it possible that their parents or grandparents were given OTC's and thereby made the parasite more resistent?

As with any parasite, a false negative is very likely. Brittney, there is probably no way to track where your giardia came from. It could have come from Karens, someone at the Ohio gathering, anyone who handled the gliders before or after they came to you, any used item that they may have had contact with before or after coming to you, the school you attend, a pet store, any item you bought lately for your gliders, etc, etc.... It is very difficult to track giardia. The important thing is that you are treating your babies now.
