This last week in addition to dealing with Ryan's issues, Brodie started to develop dehydration issues He was placed on antibiotics and I began treating the dehydration with G2. Tonight despite being sub-q'd several times and given G2 he is not responding. Please pray for him.

Oh Cris, I am so sorry.

Many prayers coming Brodie's way.

Oh no! Praying for little Brodie!

Oh Chris, I'm sorry! You've been through so much with your little guy!

My prayers are with Brodie, Chris.

You and Brodie are in my prayers too! Come on little guy, you can do it!

oh nooooooooo, come on Brodie! ((((hugs))))) to you, Chris

Praying for the both of you

Oh no! Hang in there, Brodie!!! Keep fighting little guy!

Sending lots of prayers your way!!!

sending lots of prayers your way

We're thinking of you. Stay strong Brodie.

Ohhhh Brodie, come on sweetheart, bounce back for Mommy, she's very worried about you and so are we ....praying for the both of you very hard....

"The crowd quietly at first but gets louder and louder...." Brodie. Brodie. BRODIE! BRODIE! ....

praying for you Brodie....

Come on, sweet Brodie! I know you're jealous because Ryan has been getting so much attention.....but gee whiz, don't give your mommy and all the rest of us such a HEART ATTACK like this! Pull yourself through, be strong for Ryan, we're all on YOUR side!

Karen, please read the entire history about Brodie and his care. Chris is one of the most experienced gliders owners around and has been through way more with Brodie, than most people will ever go through with gliders. She knows about pedialyte and testing and vet care.

When I talked to Chris earlier today she said Brodie had eaten some HPW mix, some yogurt and drank a little G2 and was doing better. She is doing sub-q injections every 4 hours. We need his strength to build up and quickly. Brodie has always been on the small side (averaging about 86 grams) but he weighed in at 95 today so that is good news.

Perhaps Chris will be able to give us another update before she (and Brodie) goes to work tonight.

Thank you, T...good to hear his weight is up anyway. Please keep us posted if you can, if Chris can't let us know. Pulling for the little man. Sending as many good thoughts as I can!!!

Brodie is still not feeling well, but has been eating food and taking his G2 (not always willingly, but taking it). He is also feeling more active and wants to climb up to the top of Momma's hand after each bite so he can sit and chew rather than being held. With each bite he takes, I can feel his grip getting stronger and more sure. His eyes are more alert and his ears have started to come up some. His weight is staying up in the 95 gram range AFTER eating and Brodie is stepping onto the scale by himself and then climbing back off onto me.

As Teresa said I have been sub-qing every 4 hours. His dehydration seems to be slowly getting better and he is stable for the time being. I will be taking fluids with me to work tonight so he does not go off his schedule.

I am so glad he is doing better! still sending prayers to you both *hugs*

Continuously praying for Brodie.

Yea Brodie keep on getting better lit guy and quit scaring your momma like this. HUGS to Brodie and Chris we will keep you both in our prays that Brodie gets all better.

You hang in there Chris and Brodie. Brodie kepp on eating and drinking young man. HUGS for you both!

Sending prayers up for sweet Brodie... hang in there, little man!

Chris,

I am so sorry to hear that little Brodie isn't doing well.

I will be keeping him and you in my thoughts and prayers.

Brodie, you keep eating and drinking for your momma!

Brodie is hanging in there. He is not well or even close to it, but he is continuing to eat and drink when I ask him to. I am feeding him every 2-4 hours and he is continuing to get sub-q fluids every 4 hours to maintain hydration.

Brodie's Godparents are thinking of him!

Chris, call me when you can please.

chris i know u have alot of experience with illnesses in gliders. but just a little of my experience here. i almost lost my destiny a year ago today. she was severely dehydrated and fell out of her pouch almost gone to the point that today a yr later she has neuralogical damage from being to the point of death. but how i pulled her through was. there was no time at this point for testing the vet changed meds and this broad spec antiibiotic in shot form did the trick i had seen her begin to move a t least 4 hrs later. the rest of the time i continued the same med orally after the one shot i had to force feed her for a month thats how bad off she was. she survived on bml and pedialyte only and i did this around the clock every 2 hrs only 2 days of sub q by by vet once in the morning. and she was down from 90 grams to 65 at the time she was ill. she is still with me today alive and well. running in her well every night.
