HLP is caused by a calcium deficiency


April...HLP can be secondary to other problems such as bacterial infection or parasites. I honestly think you should have this little one checked by the vet and then perhaps try the "glider mush" (chicken, avacado, and stuff) to get some weight back on her.

Also, it might be best to feed her in small amounts but more often for a few days. I know with other animals such as horses, if they go without food and then over eat, they can become colic (twisted intestines) and die from it.

Please do get her to the vet though.

Judge not until you have walked in their shoes and lived their lives. What you see online is only part of the story.

I've already mixed up the "glider mush" recipe...it was given to me by Gina wink Thanks again!!!

Also, when she does eat she eats in small amounts. She's a really petite glider and always has been. And believe it or not, I can already tell she's put on weight!!!

Also, she's acting much better(running around her cage, climbing the bars in her cage quickly, jumping). I still have the wheel out of her cage...I'm not putting it back in until her weight is completely back to where I want her.

So while I do think her only problem is starvation I will still be taking her to the vet for a check up. She has an appointment tomorrow morning because personally I don't see this as an 'emergency' anymore and they couldn't get me in today.

Thanks again EVERYONE for all the help and support through this stressful time!!! hug2 hug2

I forgot to ask...What tests should I have done at the vet? Bloodwork? Fecal? I was just wondering so I could make it easier on the vet.

April, you'll need to get at least a urinalysis, fecal float and smear @ the vets

April- I'm a little late on this but for the PP diet you are supposed to have the Sugar Glider Cereal and Monkey Biscuits in the cage as a staple at all times. That is what you could keep in there during the day. The monkey biscuits will help with growth too. HTH Good luck!

I know about the Cereal and Monkey Biscuits...but I thought it was optional. I know many who feed Priscilla's without the staple. Plus, my gliders don't get up during the day to eat. I have to physically wake Pogo and get her out of the pouch to eat. It's just not something they do.

Many don't keep them in the cage all of the time (or at all).

If we never loved, then maybe we would never feel pain. Love anyway. It's worth it.

Mine wouldn't touch either so I stopped using them. (One less thing to toss every day!)

That was EXACTLY my experience. None of my six will touch dry food whether it's monkey biscuits or cereal. For a while I thought my two little ones were eating it up. Then I realised the turds were throwing it all over the place. Little buggers.
