That poor baby! I was reading this and so hoping for a better outcome. You all did everything you could for him, and he knew he was loved. RIP Nici!!

This just breaks my heart. I am so sorry. But at least little Nici got to know what love was. Bless you all, my thoughts and prayers are with you. Nici is gliding free now...

Thank you everyone for your support throughout Nicias's struggle. I appreciate the input everyone has given and all the good wishes during his recovery and at the end. We will be taking some sort of action against the E vet since they pretty much garbled everything up (no offense to Brenda and her baby Lan like Gwen had explained already). One of the vets that I had brought him to said that this was a freak case when it came to gliders, they had never heard nor seen anything close to Nici's condition.

I almost wish he had had something more physical in a sense so they could've seen and actually done something to save him better than what they had to deal with. His inflammation was caused by his bite supposedly, other than that; they had nothing to really go on.

I just wish things didn't have to end like this and that I'll never have to experience something so heartbreaking again. He was a good boy like Gwen had said, so it hurts so much to have to let someone so sweet and so innocent go (well, he was a little trouble maker sometimes ) .

Thank you everyone yet again.
Eventually one day I'll find a pair of gliders, so Nici hasn't deterred me from having them as friends.

He will be greatly missed by my friends, family but most of all by me.

Rest In Peace Nicias. I will always remember you.

OH NO!!!! How did I miss all this? This is soo terribe, I'm so very sorry Ashley!!

You did all you could, I would really persue this issue with the vet though, that's just crazy!!

ley, i am so sorry for your loss! poor little nicias may have had a lonely few years with his first owner, but he knew love and devotion to the fullest extent from his short life with you. i admire you all for fighting so valiently for this little guy. i am so furious about the care (and i use the word "care" very reluctantly because it surely doesn't seem to fit!) he was given. i will keep you all in my thoughts and prayers as you deal with this heartbreaking situation and the aftermath. they surely should be held accountable just as others here have said! i know your little nicias is in a better place now and not in anymore pain. i know you'd rather have him well and here with you, but until you are with him again some day, i can just imagine my sweet amanda up there with him giving him lots of cuddles and loves (amanda is forever 16, we lost her 2 years ago) and probably laughing hysterically at the crabby noises! she never knew about gliders at all, i know she would have loved us having them. she'll just have to love and spoil all the suggies in heaven! {{{hugs}}}

I am so sorry. I really don't know what else to say - I really had such faith in Dr. Bush and the emergency clinic. I will definitely be more wary from now on.

And Nicias will be watching out for you and waiting for you at the Rainbow Bridge.

Ashley, I'm so very sorry that he didn't make it Lots of hugs and prayers for you
