Monroe was seen in emergency by his regular vet yesterday. He has a 'very very bad UTI'. He is on Metacam and Baytril as of yesterday but is not responding well. He is going back today to be seen at 4:20 PM. He is COLD, I cannot get him warm. He is pushing his face into anything he can and wants to lay on his tummy on the cage bars or across the Stealth stand. He will not eat or drink anything. He has some diarreah. Background: Sunday, I trimmed his nails, he was fine. At app. 8:30 pm (dinnertime) He was crying, huffing, straining. He could not pee, he pooped a bit but it was hard like gravel. He was given a dose of Torb Sunday night, after about 30 minutes, he fell asleep. He got up to eat around 3 am and seemed okay other than being very drowsy. By early afternoon yesterday, he was dehydrated, chilly and very lethargic. He refused a wax worm and a moth. His doctor was called in to the hospital where we met her. Monroe had an ultrasound, Cystocentesis (removed urine from his bladder with a needle via the stomach), Sub Q, Urinalysis, Urine Cytology. He showed no crystals, no stones or anything other than a "very very bad UTI". His anal glands were full and were expressed, no infection. No blockages. Today, he is still unresponsive to any treatment. He will not eat or drink and is cold and lethargic with diarreah this morning. His mate will not come near him. He is app. less than 2 years old, neutered and was on HPW when I got him a year ago. He has been on PML for the past year. I am clueless as to what could be going on with him at this point. Any ideas?????? He is going back to see Dr. Williams today.

He is not responding to the medicine, he himself is responsive. I have a puppy disc warmer, hot water bottles and rice packs. I got him warmed up on me for over an hour. He is sleeping right now. I have sub Q fluids but would rather his vet do it at this time. Yes, Dr. Pam Williams at Jefferson East. She spent her holiday with him and me yesterday and is coming in today again to see what might be going on. I will be leaving in a few to head up there. Thank you everyone and HUGS! I will post later as to what is going on. I was hoping someone might have some insight as to what might be going on. I did NOT give him the Metacam today since it is dangerous to give to an animal that may be dehydrated.

Today was rough to say the least. Monroe had 2 more x-rays, another ultrasound, urinalysis among other tests. We couldn't get a blood draw like we wanted. A couple of things found were a tummy full of gas but again, no blockages. (I had to run out and get infant Gas X) This one is interesting, strange and terrifying. Monroe's heart is NOT where it is supposed to be. Many years ago I had a puppy that "pranced" like a show horse, thought it was adorable until I was told he had a heart defect causing him to walk the way he did. Monroe has never walked like other gliders. His nickname is SPIDERglider because he walks like a lizard and looks like a spider when he walks. I thought about it and worried and may now have good reason to be. Monroe's heart is completely on the left side and is actually covering one lung causing possibly some congestion in his heart. Nothing else is out of place. His bone density looks great but he lost function in his entire body while at the hospital today. He was in dire pain and finally went after himself to rip his stomach area open while I was holding him today. He was given pain meds at a much higher dosage than yesterday after being Sub Q'd again today. Thank God that happened AT the hospital, not with me alone. His weight was up 12 grams from yesterday from bloat. From what? We are not sure. He had no intake of food or liquids other than the Sub Q yesterday. He will not be getting anymore Metacam, he pee'd all over himself which was good. He is now on Baytril, torb, Benebac and Gas X for infants. He took in 2 CC's of PML and a few licks of yogurt. I will trying to get him to eat app. every 2 hours throughout the night and every 3 tomorrow. Dr. Williams is at a loss and stated so. SOMETHING is wrong but it's not showing up on any tests done so far. She asked me if I wanted to stop treatment and basically "let him go". I said no. God please forgive me if I am wrong but I can't not try. Monroe is young, until this, healthy (?). He has never had any illness or injury. I have to try. I love him dearly. Monroe is in a body cast and unable to move or walk at this time. I have him in a hospital "cage" (aquarium) with a hot water bottle and fleece. He will be next to me constantly. I don't know what to do about Mardi, his mate. She is crabbing (she has NEVER crabbed before) and doesn't want to eat or play. She however, will NOT go near him. Thank you everyone for prayers, Monroe needs them...and Mardi too.

I already gave the Gas X to him. He had a fecal float done with what we got out and from expressing the anal glands. He has had a bit of yogurt licks tonight and also is on Benebac to replace the good bacteria the antibiotic takes out along with the bad.
His urine is full of bacteria, he has a ton of white blood cells in there too. (high infection) The thing with having a UTI is his case is not knowing exactly WHERE it's coming from. It could be anywhere in the urinary tract including kidneys, bladder and even places such as the pancreas. Although Dr. Williams has never seen or heard of a glider having Pancreaitis, she said it's possible he may. It's not something we can find out now though. We do know that his other organs are within normal range and are in the right place. (except his heart)
I just checked on him, he is awake and very alert right now. I am praying this is a good sign.

SB, is there anything I can do for you? Let me know. If the vet said the GasX is okay, then go for it. TGA, they found gas in the X-ray. I almost missed it when I read about the heart issue, but he is gassy, too. Unless the GasX has something that can hurt the heart? Cooper was sick, very sick for a long time and for a week he did the thing you talked about earlier, trying to hide his head and just lay there. It took a long time, but we did get him better. I'll be praying for you and your little guy!

He looks tooo cute in his cast....and all those fat rolls hanging over are just adorable...I am praying your little one makes a fast recovery. Just a note: Gas-X has nothing in it that will hurt the heart. It is one of the safer drugs that is on the market. Lori, LPN

Thank you Linda! I may call you tomorrow. HUGS HUGS Thank you so much Shawna! The Gas X has helped, he ummm..let off some gas...big time and some poo came out with it. That is good! He is not hurting right now since that happened and just ate a bit more yogurt and PML out of a medicine cup. (the kind that comes on the cough type bottles) He took a pea and a piece of corn...and spit it out, he seems to think he can't eat solids without his hands. Thank you Pat for posting the pics!!!! I am lost having this computer all redone. HUGS The only thing in the Gas X is Simethicone, I gave him the dosage his vet provided. His ears are a little bit "up" since seeing his wife Mardi, I put her in with him for about 15 minutes. She still wants to hide from him but he wants so much to cuddle her. It's breaking my heart.

Yes, the simethicone is safe for gliders. It has been recommended for rejected joeys that get bloated by the vets at Cornell University I'm so sorry little Monroe is going through all this. It sounds like you're doing an excellent job with treating him in spite of not being able to come up with anything definitive. I hope that the treatments work and that he feels much better soon. I'm sure that his cage mate is probably scared because he doesn't look or smell the same as usual. Give her lots of extra attention throughout this ordeal so that she still has the security of YOU

Suz, thank you so much! That makes me feel better. Monroe still isn't feeling well and is still bloated looking but is peeing and pooping (runny). It's amazing to be able to sleep with an aquarium on your bed and not get injured. (lol) I guess he got tired of staring at me, he had gotten himself turned around at some point looking a different direction. He just took more pain meds and the Baytril, he only ate a tiny bit of PML and a lick of honeydew. I am going to give him the simethecone in a few minutes again. Thank you for prayers everyone. He needs them.

i've been followong this thread in hopes that there will be a total turn around for him. the body cast will be able to help keep him alive,& hopefully he won't have to wear that too long. i feel so sorry for the both of them. this has really got to be a huge amount of stress for her,& he is probably hurting @ that she doesn't want him to be w/her. they both,i'm sure,are looking to you for cuddles & love. hopefully,as the day goes on,he will get better,& stronger! talk @ ya L8R josefine

Monroe passed away at 2:35 today. I will post update later...I'm sorry, I'm pretty out of it right now. I took him up to Dr. Williams, he is having a necropsy done. I will know something tomorrow if she finds anything certain, if not, tests will be done at a lab that specializes in exotics in Miami, Fl.

You couldn't have done anything more. You did everything possible that could have been done. I am so sorry Monroe lost his battle. He knew so much love in his too short life. I hope his necropsy brings you some answers.

Monroe was born with a congenital heart defect. His heart was displaced and was not enclosed in a "sac" to protect it like it was supposed to be. Monroe's penis was also completely covered over with tissue and was in the "wall" near the bladder. He was born with his penis this way. He was born unable to mate. His Cloaca was abnormal and apparently when he would poo, some would not make it out. (his plumbing was not right) This is/was the cause of the UTI. He may have had a UTI for a very long time or not..but it eventually got bad with all of the tissue growth and got out of control. Monroe was neutered when I got him. With his coloring, it is unlikely that someone would have wanted him neutered unless they knew something... He was purchased from a breeder (by the pet shop), I don't know who yet. I believe the breeder knew either something was wrong or that inbreeding may cause something and had him neutered before selling him to the pet shop. The thing is, the pet shop didn't know he was neutered, no one would have known unless they KNOW suggies. I knew immediately. His "walk" was a big clue, one I picked up on but didn't pay much heed to. He was/is my "spider" glider, my big handsome loving boy that I will miss for the rest of my life. Monroe contracted a UTI that was inevitable due to the defects he had. He also had "soaps", white particals in or around (can't remember which) the pancreas. This is an indication of pancreatitis although it is not believed to be a contributing factor. (his pancreas itself looked good and not infected) Dr. Williams stated that "Monroe was doomed from birth". He simply was not meant to be here long. He most likely had some kind of pain his entire life, gliders hide that pain very well. I was hurt that Mardi wouldn't go to Monroe, she was terrified. She KNEW...she knew he would pass...it is their instinct. I wish I had had her insight...or maybe not. I pray he knows how much I love him and always will. He is my sunshine..it's been raining since yesterday now, literally..outside and in my heart. Glide free my boy...you are my sunshine, it's raining now. We know what lies ahead of sun and rain...a Rainbow. Please wait for mommy...I love you with all of my heart Monroe. Mardi misses her man too...she sends all of her love. God speed my precious little son... I hope this is somewhat understandable, I am a rambling mess right now..and running with no certain direction..

I need to add that we are not having any tissues sent off. There is no need. He had no tumors, no signs of cancer, no liver disease, etc,.
Monroe's UTI was also responding well to the medication. The bacteria and white blood cells were considerably lower. The infection was clearing up... his heart just could not go on any longer. It was a miracle he was here as long as he was.
Even a suggie heart transplant would not have fixed him as it was still not where it should have been...and there is no such thing anyway..but I had to ask. Nothing could have been done, I just wish I'd known.

Wow, reading through the whole story is so sad. At first everyone [including me] were praying and cheering on monroe and my hope, along with I'm sure a lot more people, was that he was going to make a great recovery. It was so hard to read that he passed. You honestly did everything that you could have done and I KNOW he thanks you for the extra time he had with you because of it.
~*In my prayers*~
Good luck through this hard time.

I just found this thread. I read all three pages and I'm now in tears.. I wish you the best hun.. I know how hard it is to lose the ones we love. Some called me crazy when my Bessie passed and I called into work the next day. I was up crying with her wrapped in fleece in my hands all night. You did all you could! You should find some peace in that. You know he is in a much better place, free of pain, and has an unlimited amount of space to glide around in. Peace is with Monroe. May peace be with you too..
