This morning Sarah (chinchillagrl06) sent me a text message and an e-mail letting me know that one of her girls, Lola, had passed away. She has a trio of girls from me (Lily, Lola, and Laila) and also 2 rescue males we picked up together, Jake & Twitch. (They live in a seperate cage from the girls). She has had them for almost 2 years. She took the girls to work with her today, and had her boyfriend keep an eye on the boys today. I heard from her recently (via text), she has been at the vet since 3:00. She had her boyfriend pick her up and take her home early because the girls were not looking right. They went home, checked on the boys, ended up grabbing them all, and taking them into the vet. Her other 2 girls, Lily and Laila died. Twitch was given SUBQ fluids and handed to Sarah to hold and keep warm. Jake is "in the back" at the vet, recieving fluids, and I'm not sure what else, if anything. He is not doing well. ---> She is taking Twitch home with a SubQ injection, and Jake has to stay. I need ideas on what the heck could be wrong with the gliders. None of them have ever had a single health problem, and for all 5 of them to be so ill, while living in different cages, there has to be SOMETHING severely wrong. Sarah cannot talk right now, so I am getting bits and pieces of this via text messaging. I am not sure what had been done, I'm sure she is going to get a necropsy done.. but I need ideas. What tests need to be run on the boys? (besides a fecal) Does anything come to mind? What medications should Jake and Twitch be on? I am not very calm myself in the matter of a crisis and I feel like all of my glider knowledge has just handed me a blank.

fecal float and smear, UA if they can get one... almost sounds like a toxin of some sort to have affected them all.

Her vet seems to think that it may possibly be bacterial. Someone mentioned carbon monoxide poisoning, she is stopping to get a monitor on her way home.

I was going to say carbon monoxide as well however, if her boyfriend was at home with them and he doesnt even have a headache than... Does she feed crickets? A bad batch of crickets will do that. Anything that can carry aflatoxin... Can they draw some blood? that would be the best bet right there. Linda, if they need more ideas, have her vet call Dr.Tristan 361-994-1145 He will do a phone consult... gosh prayers going out...this is horrible.

She's actually calling the fire department right now to have them come check on the house and to see if it may be coming from the heater. I told her to get her cats out of the house and her grandma, and for she and her boyfriend to stay out of the house, JUST in case.. to be safe. She's 7 months pregnant and she could use a sedative right about now. Sarah

since it effected every glider in the home but as of yet nothing has happened to the humans or felines. My guess would be 1) something in their food was spoiled/sick/ toxic OR 2) something in the air. carbon monoxide, new smoke. did somebody smoke a cigar/cigarette too close to the cages? POSSIBLY 3) have her call the town hall and see if they have altered the Water lately. perhaps the town added extra chlorine or something to the water? just my 2 cents

Don't know if this helps- people's blood takes on a classic cherry red color if they have been exposed to carbon monoxide. I don't know if this would be true with gliders.

Have they sprayed for bugs? That was my very first thought, was a bug treatment.

In another one of her posts, she mentioned crazy weather, hot then cold. What is that mold spores thing that Sheila had problems with? Clostridium??? could that be a possibility? Or something similar?

I'm so sorry to leave you hanging, I had to run out and get some things for school tomorrow. I just have to say, if it wasn't for Helen's quick thinking, Sarah, her unborn baby, her boyfriend, grandma, the glider she took home, and the cats may not have been alive in the morning. Thank you so much Helen. Sarah's grandma got the cats out and left the house while she waited for the fire department to get there, they came out to check the levels of the house, and sure enough, it was their oven. They are going to her aunt's house for the night and will only be allowed back into their home once the fire department clears the levels. Sarah has a doctors appointment in the morning to make sure that the baby is okay. Thank you all so much for your replies.. when there is a serious situation that hits close to my heart, I always panic. RIP precious girls, Lily, Lola, & Laila. Please pray for Jake, he is still at the vets office.
Linda

I am heartbroken for your loss, and praying for everyone (skin and fur) to be okay. I don't know that I would have thought to get the people and other animals out of the house.
Surely those who have gone before you to the rainbow bridge will be waiting to greet you one day. Those dear ones probably saved the lives of the skin folk in the household.

I am so very sorry. I keep carbon dioxide monitors on every level of my house (it is a law here). What a terrible tragedy. I hope everyone else will be ok. Please keep us posted and my prayers go out to Sarah and her family.

I just wanted to leave an update, it's almost 7 AM.. I haven't heard from Sarah again so I don't know how Jake & Twitch are doing.
I don't want to leave you hanging though.. so unless Sarah pops online, I would be able to update you until after school, around 3:30.

Thank God for those babies. If it weren't for them, everybody in that house would have been lost. Their sacrifice saved 3 peoples lives... I hope Jake, Twitch, Sarah and her family are all okay
