Question

Pichu
My glider doesn't seem to be getting around to easily, he hasn't hopped or glided in two months, he keeps making a noise like a soft sneeze, like he's clearing his nose.  Sometimes when he walks he scrunches his leg close to his body.
Is my glider dying..?

Answer
Alishitaka,

Please get your glider to a vet immediately.  It sounds like he may have hind-end paralysis.  He needs calcium.  The vet can give him a shot and give you supplements.  Please see my website for other in formation on diet.  nc.sugar.gliders.googlepages.com

Please keep me informed,
