OMG! What should I do?!?

OMG! What should I do?!? - 05/17/05 06:10 PM

I just heard Mira craqbbing, when I looked in her pouch, there was a joey! Her joeys aren't due OOP for another 2-3 weeks! Also, her little face looks like it's been scratched! Mirame is a first time mom and she's been doing so well. I'm wondering if she and Smegal were trying to groom the joey at the same time and if somebody accidently puched her off. I've attached a picture...

What should I do? Her little face is bleeding... I'm so scared. Today is just like the worst day ever!

[:"green"]Leyna, is there any way you can get Mira to take the joey back into her pouch? If not, immediately put the joey into an incubator to keep her warm. Once she's warm, you can start to hand-feed her with joey formula. If you need the recipe, call me: 866-399-4476 (toll-free).

[:"green"]Oh! Forgot to mention... for the scratch, wipe it clean with a soft, damp, lukewarm cloth, then put just a smidge of antibiotic ointment on the scratch...

oh Leyna, I'm so sorry. Please try to get mom to let this little one back in the pouch. Gently try to clean the wound first. It is way to early for this one to be outside mom.

That baby is way too young to hand feed <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" />
I'd let mom and pop handle everything, including the cleaning of the wound.
In my opinion trying to intervene at this point in any way would put the situation in more jeopardy.
Hope all goes well for you <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/hug2.gif" alt="" />

Well, I had to go to the vet to pick up Bacardi. Since I don't want to be carrying her around, expossing her to germs and what not, I put her back in the pouch with her mom. I have dad and Smegal seperated for now, I would rather have Mirame handle this on her own... I haven't checked the pouch to see what's happened yet and I plan on leaving her alone for about another hour before I look in.

Leyna,

I think I would just have died if I found what you did… I hope that mom and baby work everything out…

All these baby stories are really making me think about maybe getting Mango neutered before they have any joeys ….

xglider.
Please remember that for every bad joey story we hear, there are many many successful stories we don't get to hear. Joeys and the whole experience of watching them grow up is rewarding but I think neutering is a great idea.

Leyna, please update us on this little ones progress. My prayers are going out for this little family and to you. I wish I had more advice for you on this. Frequent updates will help us all learn from your experience through this.

To be honest, right now I'm terrified to look in the pouch... I don't know what I'll see and that scares me to death. I wish there were somebody else here that could do it for me, but there isn't <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crying.gif" alt="" />

Leyna, As much as I would not want to I would be brave and look for you… sorry that you are going through this… especially alone… but know that we are all here and pulling for you all!

Dancing… I know it is the same old story you only hear about the bad stuff… thanks for the reassurance, heck I may not get joeys anyway

Oh Leyna, I'm so sorry. I was going to say if I were there I would look for you, but I couldn't do it either. What a really sad thing to be going through. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crying.gif" alt="" /> Try to have faith, and think positive. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/hug2.gif" alt="" />

Sweetie I am so sorry. I know how much you looked forward to these babies. Remember she was a first time mom and nature knows best. you will have joeys this time it just wasn't meant to be.

<img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crying.gif" alt="" /> I am so sorry Leyna...my words can't help much I know. Nature has a reason for the things it does. Please don't blame mom or dad. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/hug2.gif" alt="" />

Re: OMG! What should I do?!? - 05/17/05 08:07 PM

I don't blame my gliders in the least, Mirame is a good mommy, so I know she did this for a reason... I've been so stressed since Daisy passed away that I think I'm just stressing out my gliders. I just need a day or two away from everything, but that's not an option right now <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" />

Leyna I am so sorry. My heart dropped when I seen this had been moved to real stories. I know how excited you were when you found out Mirame was expecting. I can't imagine how bad it hurts or how horrible it is to deal with. Please know that you and Mirame are in my thoughts.

I am so sorry Leyna. I hope you feel better, and hopefully Mirame did this for a reason. They will mate again soon and have another try at it. It's not her or your fault, but you know that. Feel better hun.

Oh my God! Leyna! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crying.gif" alt="" /> Unfortunately, trying to get mum to take her back won't help! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crying.gif" alt="" /> she can't grip back onto the nipple even if mum wanted her to <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" /> I think she's too young to hand feed as well...you can try though...this is so sad! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crying.gif" alt="" />

Oh Honey - there are no words. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" /> But I truly believe in my heart that everything happens for a reason - I guess we just have to wait & see what that reason was. Hugs!

I'm sorry this happened. I haven't ever lost joeys, but I lost a glider I know how much it hurts.

Guess I should have read the rest of the post...*sigh* just got so wrapped up in trying to help...I'm so sorry Leyna...I do honestly think this was an isolated incident...I would let them try again with another pair of joeys, but keep a watchful eye!

Thank you all so much... - 05/18/05 03:16 AM

Today has been, to say the least, very trying. I want to thank you all for your support. After giving it some thought, I have paired Brodey and Mirame back together. Smegal, who was also with them has been seperated to reduce stress and he's now back with Larkin, who was with Bacardi (the glider that lost his tail). Cardi needs to be housed by himself until his stiches are removed. Once his stiches are out I'll be pairing him with Vanity, my other short tailed glider <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> I am so glad I got my new cages today or I would be having fun trying to figure out my housing situation... Again, thank you all for your support <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/hug2.gif" alt="" />:

[:"green"]Leyna, I'm devastated for you! I was really pulling for you & Mira & the little ones... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crying.gif" alt="" /> If there's anything I can do to help, please call me again. I feel so bad about everything that's been happening to you lately. Know that I'm here if you need me... Ottawa's only a couple hours drive from my house, so if you need a glider sitter in the future, keep me in mind...

Thank you Suz, you are really, just the most wonderful person... I wish you could have seen the little girl in person, she was the most beautiful little thing and so sweet. She just wanted to go back in her mommy's pouch... I hope Mirame has joeys again soon. If they are anywhere near as wonderful as that little girl, I will be a very blessed glider owner.
