Im sorry to hear about the yeast infection, never having had one here I dont have much to offer except well wishes and good thoughts.

My suggestion is to have the vet culture the little girl's pouch. The results will give a list of meds that the yeast is sensitive to.

Also, your vet could do a phone consultation with Dr. Teresa Bradley DVM in Belton, MO.

She did swab the pouch but all the medications that came up were topical's. She has an oral she wants to try but since Lidia's immune system is weakend, she is so tiny (40g), and she's been on medication for almost 2 weeks now we want to make sure it's not going to be too hard on her liver first. She also wants to make sure that it's okay for a sugar glider.

Lynsie, I havent had to deal with any yeast infections here either, but am also offering many hugs and well wishes for Lidia.

Lynsie.. have your vet call Dr. Bradley.

I really am sorry you little one is really having a difficult time.

I do know my vet told me when applying ointments to a glider to hold the glider for ten minutes or so once it is applied so it can be absorbed into the skin as the glider will lick it off immediately.

At this point I can't really say for sure if Lidia is getting better or what. She isn't getting worse though. She did eat some of her corn and peas last night, seems to be the only solid thing she will eat. Before I could kinda tell if she was getting better by how wet her tummy looked but since I am now putting ointment on her tummy, I really can't tell. Only time will tell right now.

Thanks for keeping us updated on her, Lynsie. You are both still in my thoughts, I hope she starts to show signs of improvement soon.

Thank you for the update Lynsie....we are all pulling for her to get better SOON.

Poor lil girl! No wonder she feels rotten. Yeast infections are terribly uncomfortable even if you aren't taking meds for something else. Hope she continues to improve!!!

I hope that time is good to you both! Lynsie, what can you do for her yeast infection?

More good news!! Lidia has had solid poo [censored] in with Tokyo.

Wow, that only shows up with the 1st 7 words, [censored], and then the last 1 words

I'm so glad to hear she's continuing to improve, keep up the great work

Yippee!

Excellent news - yeah for poo!!!!

Solid poo is wonderful news! Im glad to hear she's improving!

UPDATE: Just got home from the vet. Lidia's yeast infection is 75% better than last week but not completely. I am to keep her on the topical until the oral meds come in. Hopefully they will be in, in a day or two. I am also going to be putting collaste spray on that weird spot on her belly because it looks like she has been overgrooming it, so hopefully she'll leave it alone with that nasty spray on it. We have also started her on Clavamox because she is still hissing when she goes potty and she reaked of urine today but she couldn't get a good urine sample, so we are putting her on the clavamox in case she has UTI. Also, that strain of meds is the only thing we haven't tried so far. She seems to be improving but not like she should be. It just seems like one problem covering another. Good news though! vet said that I could put her back in with Tokyo!! She said that all the parasites seem to be dying so they shouldn't be contagious anymore and he can't get the yeast infection from her so they should be okay.

She looked at the bee pollen today compared to the parasite eggs and she was not mistaken. She even let me look at them. They do look very similar except the eggs have one more ring around the edge of them and the bee pollen doesn't. She said that all the parasites/eggs she has been seeing have be dead or are shriveling up and dying. So, I also got the go ahead to set all the gliders cages back up.

That's all good news Lynsie, Yippee!

Progress is great news, Lynsie! Not out of the woods yet, but the improvement must be such a relief for you (both!)!!

That is wonderful news! Now to just get Lidia 100%!

Congrats on her recovery!

Awesome! Keep up the good work! We're praying for you both! This has been such a hard time for you!

I'm taking Lidia down to Dr. Tristan in TX in a few days. She hasn't gotten worse or anything, we are just concerned because she is not getting better like she should be. So she's going to stay with Auntie Peggy until she is feeling better.

Have a safe trip Lynsie

I hope you get the answers Lidia's needs from Dr. Tristan. Im sure she'll be spoiled rotten with Auntie Peggy! Good luck! Sending good thoughts your way, and have a safe trip!

Lynsie, have a safe trip. I hope Dr T can get Lidia well again.

Good luck to Lidia, Lynsie and Aunt Peggy!

Wow! I just read this entire thread. What a roller coaster ride for you both.
I hope she gets better, soon! You guys will be in my thoughts.
That's so nice of Peggy to take care of her for you. I agree she'll be more than spoiled...

Get better soon Lida!!

Was there an update on Lidia? I sure hope she's doing better and there were answers found for what was going with her.

Yah, What's going on?????
