Waiting to hear back to see about getting Peanut to the doctor. Peanut fell asleep finally and has been sleeping for a couple of hours on and off. She is drinking water offered and mealies, food too. She IS in pain, we know that.

The bone is showing a bit below the flesh part. (BAD example, but think of a chicken leg how the bone is sticking out) The knee is intact but nothing below the knee is intact except what appears to be muscle/cartlidge? (sp?)

Toes are turning black, at least one already has.

I will be visiting the vet that did this to Peanut shortly after Peanut is taken care of first. This is NOT going to happen to another glider at the hands of said vet!

Peanut's mom has been up all night holding her, hasn't put her down and is keeping the e-collar on.

Please pray for Peanut! Dr. Williams will be in her office within 2 hours. We just have to get her there.

Been holding peanut now for 7 hours. And let me tell you, Sugarblossoms, LSardou, Jen, and coffee have been lifesavers. I have her eating apple pieces right now in my hand. Going to vet today if I can get mom to take me. Considering stealing her car if she won't. Just got off phone with Sugarblossoms. Peanut doesn't seem to even acknowledge the fact that her foot is seriously messed up. May end up getting vet who did cast to pay for this considering its partially her fault. Can't type much, using one hand cause i'm still holding peanut, cause i aint putting her down. updates later. oh, and wound has not bled and seems to have dried. Evidently she does have some feeling in foot. when i touched it a little while ago, she pulled back.

Is your mom up yet? Have her call me or I can call her. We need to get Peanut up to Dr. Williams ASAP. Infection is the main worry and shock.

She will go down fast if infection sets in.

Yes, the vet is responsible that did this. That will be taken of also.

Keeping you both in our thoughts. You are doing a good job helping Peanut though this.

HUGS

We are meeting at Jefferson Animal Hospital East at 9:30. After that, Peanut will come home with me till she is healed up. We will update as soon as we know what is going on with her leg.

Thank you e'one for being so supportive!

Thank YOU for going the extra mile for Peanuts and her mommy

and Prayers going out to you and Peanut. I hope she heals up quick. Bless you all for helping Peanut and her mommy!

Oh my gosh, Im so sorry to hear about this happening! I will be keeping you guys in my thoughts and prayers ~ please keep us updated on how your baby is doing!!!!

I'm hoping this little girl is at the vet getting taken care of.

Of course she's got them! Thank you for the update. Can they syringe feed liquids in addition to sub-q? Those actually get into the system quicker (and less stressful).

ALL my hopes are with this little girl!! She's been through SO much-some of it unnecessary and NOT her owner's fault. The first vet should either educate themself or NOT TREAT GLIDERS. This did NOT have to happen.

Linda...do you know if the one who did the cast is in the GC database? I'd like the information in PM to leave a review if so. THAT one is on my 'list'. Some vets shouldn't be, and others shouldn't treat animals they have either no interest in, or knowledge of. Gliders are NOT your typical 'pet', and can't be treated like it. I'm so mad over a number of things with this I could just explode (and most of it will NOT be posted)...again, it's NOT the owner's fault...just circumstance.

Will check back in a bit, then it'll be this evening.

You can call my cell if needed-I may not hear it (very tired), but I will keep it near.

My vet would also consult if needed-Dr. Harris-801-485-4736

Have they given her any antibiotics with the fluids?

What a HORRIBLE experience! I'm so sorry you have to go thru this with peanut! You have shown to be an EXCELLENT sugar mommy!!

You have been in great hands with all who have helped. I hope everything turns out better today and they get her on some pain meds.

I will be watching for updates! Hang in there, your doing great!

Poor girl! sounds like she is in GREAT hands! Heal up quick little Peanut!

Oh wow, poor Peanut and Momma! Hey Momma, you're doing great though! Just hang in there, and keep the updates coming.
My prayers are with you guys.

Linda, SugarBlossoms, and Jen, you guys are awesome. Thank god we have you guys on GC.

Peanut is doing pretty good this afternoon. If she maintains her strength, and her vitals remain stable Dr. Williams will be taking Peanut in for surgery later this afternoon. So far the tissue above the break looks good. Her x-rays didn't show any further necrosis, however, she will not know if there is any tissue invasion until she does the surgery. So far she feels things are looking good.
Bailey, many prayers and blessings are with you!...Bridgett Bless you for being there with Bailey and Peanut.

Thank you for the update Linda keeping them in our thoughts.

I might not make sense becuase I usually don't when I wake up, but I'm updating you on Peanut. Last I heard about how she's doing was when LSardou called me earlier before I went to sleep, and that was the update that LSardou already gave in a previous post. I want to be at the vet's office, but that would do no good just sitting there. . If there's anything I learned out of this whole situation it's this

-You CAN'T put a cast on a sugar glider. Bridget uses a good example. It's like trying to mend 2 straws together by putting a cast over them. It's not going to work becuase there's no central thing connecting them making that bond.
-You'd be surprised by how much you feel like you can't sleep, but the moment your head hits a pillow your out.
-Gotta trust God and know he's got a plan. Otherwise you fall apart.
-I have gaurdian angels watching over me, that's for sure. Bridget's been there for me when Pickles got sick, taking care of him with me, then there when he died. She's helped me through the night (along with LSardou) with peanut keeping me reassured and stopping me from falling asleep while holding her. LSardou helped me from having a heartattack when I was on the phone with her (cast came off). LSardou has been a blessing to me. I know the Lord's made a way for Peanut to have a chance, and he used LSardou in a huge way. Jen, I didn't talk to you, but you talked through Bridget and helped me out last night with Peanut.
Thanks you all for being supportive and please keep having Peanut in your prayers. I think I'm going to be a nervous wreck until I hear from the vet again, but until then, I'm here unless I fall asleep at the laptop, which is possible.

I just woke up, got about 3 1/2 hrs. sleep so I may fall asleep as Peanut's mom just said. (lol) I have to feed the glider kids now and will be back on here on and off.

How does a person say Thank You to an angel? How can we thank God "enough"? After today, I've learned I don't believe it is possible. There are some things in life we simply cannot give enough thanks for. If we can, I just do not know how and for that, I apologize. Say the word and it's yours by any means possible by me.

Many many HUGS

I will get back on this later...

Yes, Dr. Williams is an awesome vet. I'm praying hard for God to give her the healing hands Peanut so needs.

I will always see Peanut looking up with the prettiest brightest eyes. She IS a fighter. She is a dollbaby.

This is so good to hear! Prayers for Peanut

Gliders just aren't built for a cast. I'd never heard of one going on a glider, so wasn't sure what to think-I couldn't imagaine it was a good idea, but I'm not a vet, either. But casting doesn't work with something as active as a glider-you just can't make them stay still in one-and that's necessary even for people. Even people can't walk around on a break in a cast until a certain amount of healing has taken place, a pin is in, or if the break is minor enough. You can't put a glider on crutches, either. Chances are, the broken bone abraded, possibly punctured, surrounding tissue, causing tissue injury/infection, and the leg started to rot in there with no air circulation. Pinning the leg (as Dancing's Spryte had done), closing the incision, and leaving it open to air makes a lot more sense with a glider. This vet needs to be told what NOT to do with a glider-common sense would say that would be a terribly iffy scenario-and unless the vet was willing to check/look in there every few days it shouldn't have gone on at all. I feel horrible for this girl (both mom and glider), and so bad I didn't voice my concerns over casting the leg, at least, or having it checked sooner. That may not have helped, but I SHOULD have said something. It really doesn't bother me when I'm wrong, but I didn't want to be close to right on this one, either-and did something I rarely do...told myself 'wait and see'-because I haven't personally had a broken leg, only been thru it with others by post and phone.

Bridget, can you confirm the vet name/clinic for me in PM? Linda sent me some info, but wasn't sure.

All my hopes and prayers are with Dr. Williams and Peanut.

W W! You guys are all amazing! I just witnessed a flock of angels hovering over Bailey and little Peanut. And she's in great hands now; what a blessing to find such a dedicated, caring vet. Sending my prayers that Peanut continues to gain strength and is in optimum condition for her surgery tomorrow.

I'm glad to hear that Peanut is getting through this and will be able to go through with surgery. If she's been able to make it this far, I'm sure she'll pull through with no problem. You're an awesome mummy SuggieLuver4941, I honestly don't know what I would be doing in this situation.

I think I've made it sound like I was all cool and under control in this situation. But you can ask LSardou. I was on the phone with her when the cast itself came off and I seen what was underneath. I freaked out. I mean, I went beserk. She had to tell me to calm down more times than I've ever been told in my life. So, if it wasn't for everyone on GC, I wouldn't know what I'd do either.

Of course you were wigging out, that's normal. Your baby needed you and you reacted. Even so, you're an awesome suggie mummy and you two are going to get through this one way or another. If it wasn't for the fact that you took the initiative to ask for help, make some calls, stay awake with your Peanut, take her to the vet, along with a couple of other things Peanut would have made a turn for the worse.

Keep the updates coming when you can get them, and much love to the both of you.

I'm so glad Peanut is getting stronger and will be helped by a good vet. Both Mommy and suggie are amazingly strong and brave. I would've freaked out! I'm incredibly impressed by the support network here at GC and it makes me feel confident that if I ever need help I will be able to find it here.

I will keep Peanut and mommy in my prayers for a safe and speedy recovery.

Here is the link to a map for the clinic/hospital that put the cast on Peanut. The vet's name was Heather. There is one review on Google Mapsite, not a good one.

Shively Animal Hospital

I'm going to try and get some sleep so I can function more tomorrow. I know I'll be up and down so I'll keep checking here and of course messages on the phone in case I don't hear it ringing.

We are all praying hard for little Peanut and all her angels.

I'll see you later today Suggieluver, we'll get e'thing set up for your Emma Elizabeth (Liz) and Peanut.

to you all

Peanut looks better, she was in an incubator to stay warm when we left.

She should be in surgery about now. Dr. Williams was still having her take antibiotics, her leg has some infection in it and she wants her to have the best chance possible before doing the surgery. The Dr. will be taking Peanut home with her tonight and keeping her with her until Monday as far as we know.

Dr. Williams says she ate very well last night and was surprised by how MUCH she ate!

I have things set up here at our house for Peanut when she is ready to be released.

Please keep praying hard for little Peanut, Dr. Williams thinks she has a very good chance of coming through this. We all have to believe this and pray. Peanut is a fighter. She has a mommy and grandma that loves her to pieces and a "Godmommy" (me) Lots of aunts, etc. An awesome Doctor and one very special ANGEL.

and continued prayers for Peanut & mom! I am so thankful for all of the resources and help that GC provides (not to mention the MANY Angels we have on here!)

Peanut made it through the surgery!!!! She has an e-collar/Straight jacket (as Dr. is calling it (lol). Peanut is VERY upset about the confinement of it.

Jen, Peggy..please send your vet's numbers JUST IN CASE Dr. Williams may want to confer on calming Peanut down (on which med or dosage). I had read about Valium being used with some gliders. Not sure if she will need to call but would be great to have the numbers just in case.

Peanut is still going "strong" considering what she has been through. Keep fighting Peanut!!

We love you!!

HUGS to all her angels!
