Jessi - Oh No! I just read this. Let me know how I can help! AND, keep us updated. I know Thor is your first and your baby. Did one of the other gliders do this? I have a glider without a tail now - he didn't even get knocked out for it - too weak.  BUT - he is fine now. I wish you were closer - the vet here only charged $100 plus meds for everything on the first visit. PLEASE - update - good or bad!

I agree! These are just one of the many reasons I love this place. And I know that this is very very late, but in case this happens to anyone else in the future, here are a few things that you can do. I am very strapped for money, but I have a baby on the way, and I have been planning for a few months on what I might do if something happened to him: 1) Call your banks 1-800 number. Most of them have credit cards available to account-holders. They DO NOT always make the offers public, but they are happy to help if you ask  2) See if you can find loaners in your area - I know that we have 3 here (most are called quik checks, or something; they're meant to hold you over until pay-day). 3) Check with friends and family - this doesn't work with everyone (we least of all xD), but even if you are not on good terms with close family, maybe distant family will help? 4) Start applying for credit cards now. But DO NOT USE THEM!!! Put them away, lock them in a drawer - the limits do not have to be very large at all! 5) THE BEST ONE FOR ME SO FAR! PAYPAL!!! They have a credit card available, the general limit is about $300 (you can request a larger limit) and it is not hard to get at all!! Best thing about it is that you DO NOT NEED THE CARD! You can send a payment to your vet over the computer, and most are willing to work with you (even emergency vets) <3 I worked with almost NO extra money for months while taking care of my hedgehog, and these tricks worked wonders for me <3 If you EVER need ANY help (and this goes for everyone) please feel free to email or call me: on.cue.card@gmail.com (352) 212-4050 Always happy to help!

Thank you everyone. I just walked in the door. Aside from being exhasted and emotionally tired i am alright. after the very long night in the ER with Thor, consoling the rep. that he bit real bad (she stuck her hand in the pouch, and my little man likes his personal bubble), and then fighting with him all morning into the afternoon trying to keep him from his tail. long morning to say the least. I called Val, Shawna Peggy, and Erin later and worked out who would be closer on such short notice. Shawna met me half way and took Thor and his mate Sophie into her care so he can be seen on Monday. Shawna was able to get the collar on him no problem! she made it look so easy!! and even got Thor and Sophie the apple fries from Burger King.... Her Val, and Peggy are all angels. you three have to be God's angels. i am crying with relief knowing that Thor and Sophie are in good hands. Shawna dont take non of Thor's little attitude. And Sophie is little my little princess and knows it but dont let her get away with murder haha! Thank you from the bottom of my heart. Words cannot exspress how grateful i am to you in taking in my baby boy. Val and Peggy, your efforts for Thor took my breath away. your willingness to help did more for me emotionaly than you could imagin. talking to calm and kind people through all of this has helped me keep my feet on the ground. thank you so much Erin.. thank you. thank you thank you thank you. Erin is amazing guys. she was at a fed-ex this morning ready to have e-collars over nighted to me. i must be one of the most arrogant suggie moms on here. i thought that just because all my guys were healthy, i checked their pouches regularly, that i could hold off on getting collars till i got Thor and Doyle snipped. i thought they would be just fine.... folks i cant stress this enough... Thor is my first glider. he is the youngest male outta my bunch, and his and my bond is the strongest out of the 4 of them. i love him to the ends of the earth and back again... i know yall feel the same about your babies.. dont wait like i did. dont beat around the bush about getting an e-collar. get one, or two, just to have on hand. have some big straws with vet-tape on hand as well... get yourself a small first-aid kit for things like this. looking back over the past few hours i wish i had listened. i wish i had gone with my better judgment and gotten one. i was risking Thor's folks, if it had not been for Erin, Shawna, Val and Peggy, i would be up poop creek right now with Thor in tow. PLEASE dont make my mistake. i will keep yall updated daily if i can on his progress... i miss my little babies so much already.

Big straws and vet tape? For a tail splint??? Something else to add to my glider emergency kit! Thanks for the suggestion!!! I went through a scare with my girls awhile back (REALLY recently!) and I regret that I did not have an emergency fund to fall back on. I'm workin on that now... Glad everything turned out good so far for Thor!!! Hope you get him back soon and he will be just fine! Our glider family here on GC is just full of angels!!! Well done members!!!!!

Well done members!!!!! yes Peggy suggested it to me for Thor! it was a wonderful idea! i used one of the big straws from a Valero and some of that stick guase stuff. you cut the straw up the middle and wrap it around the tail and tape it so its harder for them to mess with it. she suggested though if your using regular tape to watch out for their fur because it will rip it out. Thor being the ninja that he is got the first one off not 10 mins after we left the house to get him to Shawna, had to use real tape the second time but it worked.

Karen Milas sells the e-collar I used. She's shown me how to do it a jillion times on my Biscuit, so I knew how to do it, Thank God! I'm going to keep our little couple next to each other in the living room, that way they can visit, but Sophie can't "help" Thor clean it.
Jesse, you are a good momma, don't you beat yourself up. You knew to get him help and you did.
You were right, he likes his Amoxil drops, he took them like a champ! He took the pain meds like a champ, too. Right up until the taste hit his tongue! LOL We sure took his attention off of that collar! He ate more apples, probably two of them total, and drank a few licks of pedialyte.
Shawna Who are you networked with? Networking could save your gliders life. Create one now.

Jessi - yes it is normal to miss them and worry.  Just remember, they are in GREAT hands and having Sophia with him will make it easier. Pain meds will help him relax!

OFF TOPIC: But, Erin - I am in tears at your kindness and quickness to act today given your own recent loss. Shawna too - running out to pick up this baby after dropping off her own baby for a necropsy this very morning. BOTH of you guys have me in tears. THIS is what it is all about. You are an inspiration to us all.
Jessi - I am praying for your little guy. He is in GREAT hands - I know cause I once had an injured baby in her hands too.

Jessi, I'm just now catching up with everything you've been through today. Here's a HUGE  just for being such a good glider mom, moving heaven & earth to get them help. Now...I've seen that damaged tail way too many times myself (like 4 times now, I think? PLUS the total tail amputation I'm working through with Magellan...that makes 5!The words of encouragement I want to give you is the fact that Thor is going to come out of this JUST FINE. What you need to do while he's visiting Aunt Shawna is to find out WHAT could've caused this: did he get it caught in something? was he bitten by someone? You need to try & figure this out so it doesn't happen again. Shawna, your heart is even BIGGER than the State of Texas...you're such a sweet angel for helping out today. There's an extra sparkle with YOUR name on it! Every time I turn around, there are more things being added to my emergency kit...pretty soon I'm going to need to get a SUITCASE with wheels to carry everything! I've gone from a small drawstring purse to a knapsack to a full-size bookbag, and it's STILL growing! I'll keep all of you in my prayers tonight.

I was worried when I heard about Thor having been through this with a glider whose tail was injured. We all know how tough it is to keep enough money around these days with the price of everything going up and up - my glider bounced right back to health - I'm sure Thor will do the same. You are all wonderful for helping Thor and his caring owner. It makes my heart feel good!

this is the kind of care & love that i have experienced also, when i joined this wonderful group. i am in awe. tears were rolling down my face as i say the pic, & started to read all the posts. memories came crashing back as i remember crying for help, so desperately needing it, & i got the help from every corner of this forum. now there are 2 of us that will be ever greatful for the rest of our lives to have gotten to 'know' all of you, by your responding & caring, & just 'being there'. dancing taught me to BREATH, PLEASE PLEASE do this. go in & out several times, close your eyes & picture your mind emptying from all that has been in there for all these extremely long hours. see beyond all the turmoil, breath from way down w/in yourself. it DOES help, i know it did for me. learning to breath like that really opens your mind, heart, whole being. if you can't reach that effect, call the master, dancing, & she will give you the insite. everyone is always so ever loving. if i ever do anything wrong, these are the people that i want to set me strait, so i can become a better glider mom. i will always take critizm(when needed)if i do something wrong, or stupid, because i know & have felt the love & care that are truly felt by all. i've said enough, i'm gonna want to read the updates as often as they come in. my cosmos is still alive, he made it thru because of all of you, i KNOW this to be true, because i could actually FEEL the strength coming from off these posts on this computer, & within all these threads i do feel it now, for you. josefine frendships forged from here, are ones that i will take to my grave.

Im so sorry you had to go through this! Its horrible! but I am glad he is doing better. Easiest credit cards to get if you have NO credit or BAD credit: Capital One Platinum, and Household Bank Platinum. I have those, and have had them since I was 17. I keep them incase of emergencies. If you need some help/tips on raising your credit score, let me know. Ok well anyway, most vets have a payment plan. Like, pay 100 now, and then 75 next month and 75 the month after, etc. Never walk out of a vet you cant afford without asking that. I really hope everything works out for you, and I am SO sorry. If you need anything, please dont hesitate to ask.
