female glider approx. 2 yrs.

Question
My glider recently has a crouched over posture.  Don't know if she is pregnant or not.  She has had babies in the past.  I am her second owner.  She is not moving around and her appetite has deminished.  We do not have a vet her until Friday and I am afraid of what might happen.  Can you give me some suggestions.  Not walking around just moving head and seems aware.  HELP

Answer
Dear Dorothy:

Please get her to a vet asap.  If your vet cannot see her until Friday, I would find another vet, possibly an emergency vet.  I have never seen a glider that displayed those symptoms due to pregnancy.  It sounds more like something is causing her pain in her abdomen or some sort of paralysis.  Regardless, I would try to have her checked out ASAP.  Push fluids if you can get her to drink them.
