First I would like to thank those of you who I have called upon and you were right there to help and give suggestions. A little over a month ago Sugar (Spencers mate) quit eating and was placed on Clavamox for 3 weeks. her bottom incisors were loose and she had irritated gums. This past weekend she quits eating again and was placed back on the Clavamox Sun. I dropped her off at the vet this morning they are going to do a dental, cleaning, and whatever else is necessary. I did give him all the suggestions I received from you fine folks (and you know who you are)!! So Keep my big girl in your thoughts today. I will know more at 3:30 when I pick her up.

She ate a mealworm this morning..........YAY..........WOOT!!!!!!!! This may seem insignificant to some of you but this is huge.............she hasnt eaten a mealie in a week!!!!! I could just go hug Dr. Reese who listens to me and is not too full of himself to call Dr. Tristan. A hug to Dr. Tristan for phone consulting and a hug for Tara cause she went to work for Dr. Reese (she used to work for Dr. Tristan) My hugs dont stop there: Chris(gliderz5) Thank You! Xfilefan(Jen) Thank You! Jackiechansmom(Val) Thank You!! Each of the above people either talked with me on the phone about what worked for them or what their vets did for their gliders with dental issues. It was so worth the 300 plus dollars I paid yesterday so Sugar can eat today.

Last night Sugar would not eat, drank some ensure and noted to have facial swelling. Dropped her off at the vet this morning. Under anesthesia Dr. Reese cleaned her teeth again, said there was gingivitis and a few pus pockets present. The pus was drained and sent to the lab for culture. He injected gelpack of doxyrobe between her bottom teeth, gave her an injection of baytril and sent me home with Baytril. The culture wont be in until monday or tuesday to tell us if the baytril is the right medication. If this does not work he is going to pull those 2 bottom teeth.

I will get a copy of Sugars Culture and sensitivity tomorrow and scan and post it ......................................should of got a copy when I picked up her antibiotics but did not think about that at the time. That way you can see what a C&S looks like and will know in fact the ABT her particular super bug is susceptible to. Just remember rescuers /(everyone really) now that we know our ill compromised gliders can get this esp. after 2 or 3 rounds of Baytril for the same exact infection................................................it suddenly becomes resistent......................................didnt happen until Baytril came along or so it seems. So treat every glider you have coming in like they have something. I know most of you all do that anyway. but even your pets you have had from day one can get it , like Sugar so treat them the same way. Just be careful. Sanitize, sanitize. Buy cleaners that say they kill mrsa,Hepatitis, VRE, HIV, etc. Then rinse well.

Cora, I worry about so much Baytril too. I have cleaning his mouth out with spring water (gums actually) and using the dental tool I have with the soft tip to clean inbetween. Unless his gums look too inflamed, I have not been giving the Baytril. He has been on and off of it for almost 2 years now!

Just MO but I think that alot of our gliders are getting dental issues due to the food we feed them. In the wild they eat moths, lizards, baby birds, eggs, crickets and other insects and alot of people due not feed their gliders any insects at all and the ecoskeletons help to keep their teeth clean. They need stuff like this in order to be healthy. I have been researching and I have been feeding my gliders now more insects and less liquid food. I only give yogurt once a week and I try to feed mostly fresh fruits and veggies since they are more solid than the frozen thawed out ones. I make sure I put their vitamins on their fruits and veggies though. I know not everyone will agree with me but this is what works for me and what I think is best for my gliders and so far everyone is healthy even my fluffy two.

Mine are all on PML, I used to feed super and mealworms. They have things to chew also. Some gliders, like people are just susceptable to gum disease.
