Question
Please help me I have had my sugar glider for almost a year now.. The other night he got out of his cge and I couldnt findhim! When I found him his face looked really swollen! When I got a closer look it looks like a piece of his nicse and from his eye doen has been cut off !! Hes not bleeding he doesnt seem in pain hes eating and all it just is yellow and looks really nasty. It looks like its his bone or cartildge. Im scared and I feel really bad. I dont know what to do or where to take him  and I dont have the money right now to afford a huge vet bill. Please help me. My number is 312-231-6250.Thank you

Answer
I am sorry but the vet is the best option for you.  Sometimes that is the only option.  He needs antibiotics now and possibly more.  You must find a way to take him to the vet.  Until you get there, you can put regular neosporin on the wound, but he needs a vet.

Best of luck,

Laurie
