In some ways, it feels like just yesterday that I picked up this cute, cuddly little sugar glider with a broken back. Then there are other times that I feel that we have walked a lifetime together. One thing is for sure – my life has never been the same since I met Jackie Chan.

For those unfamiliar with his story, you can read more here:http://www.glidercentral.net/ubbthreads/...ter#Post1037257

Another year has passed since I last updated about Jackie. What a year it has been! Jackie Chan still lives with Daiquiri and still amazes me with his agility and zest for life. He has a new-found love for trying to tail carry, which is sometimes sad because he is both paralyzed and has no tail, but it has allowed me to help him carry a bounty of things to his pouch and build a nest for his lady love and is a reminder to me that HE does not think he is disabled in any way. He has had some follow up x-rays and has made an appearance at Dr. Walsh’s office to help teach some veterinary students from OSU. He continues to overgroom his head repeatedly (anxiety). In addition, He has tried out both the glider treadmill and a monkey cliner for the first time. He loves his cliners!



After about 3 years of no emergency visits, my stomach dropped shortly before Christmas when I found Jackie with a swollen face. My first thought was that it was an abscess, and I have dealt with many abscesses, so no big deal. My biggest concern was that, for the first time in his life, Jackie Chan was ACTING sick. No other issue that he has faced has ever slowed him down, but with this, he was lethargic, not eating well and all around grumpy. I was a worried momma! I got Jackie to Dr. Walsh and was surprised and saddened to hear that it was NOT an abscess.

This is not the worst he looked, but it gives you some idea. These photos were after 5 days of treatment.


Jackie Chan had developed osteomyelitis (an infection in the bone) of his cheek bone. It was advanced such that the infection had eroded a portion of his cheek bone and his entire head was swelling. Osteomyelitis is serious and is difficult to treat in sugar gliders. I have treated it only once before. Once again, Dr. Walsh saves the day by problem solving the issue and introducing another medication into our repertoire for use in unusual situations. Jackie Chan was treated with injections (which he could not feel) for 12 days and recovered WONDERFULLY!

Here he is 9 days into his treatment


Today, Jackie is back to acting like his normal, adventurous, loving, energetic self. We are looking forward to another year of learning and loving together !

Here is my little guy in action throughout the year

Thank you for the update. I love it!!!!
His zest for life shows through, he seems to always be in action. I am glad to hear he has found a lady friend. He's a insperation, I'm glad the cheek issue resolved itself and he is back to normal.
Cosmo came through his nueter great. He has been in with other gliders and climbed all over the cage. I was shocked at his agility and how well he got around their cage. We rushed to hang hammocks to protect him from falls. He, like your little guy doesn't know he is handicapped.

When I started to read of his bone infection, my heart dropped and tears filled my eyes. Thankfully, just a few seconds later, my heart jumped for joy!

Jackie is an inspiration to us all. To face such adversity, survive and come back stronger and sweeter than before is his legacy.

Way to go Jackie!

We love you!

Jackie is the success story that often times encourages the rest of us to try harder, explore other options, never give up and that giving up on them is not an option for us as long as they have the will to survive and thrive.
Thank you Val & Jackie Chan for inspiring the rest of us!
Love to you & precious little man!

I just love pictures of this little guy. You can snap pics and post them anytime Val. He proves anyone of these little guys is worth the effort. Cosmo has become such the little sweet heart and like you said as capable as I would let him be. If we could only find him a girl friend. He's fallen for Izzy and calls for her, they visit then she goes home to sleep with duke. He goes with me everywhere I can take him and he trust me completely. Pops popcorn like there's 3 gliders in the pouch when he's on my chest, he's my fav little buddy.

This is the first I've read about Jackie Chan. I read the thread linked in to get more background on this handsome fella. I have to say that he is living an enriched life despite his physical circumstances, and in doing so is enriching other's lives just by knowing his story. He has courage and will, and apparently a lot of love of life as well as for his mommy and his lady, Daquiri.

Thank you for updating and sharing this story, giving many the opportunity to have their lives enriched.

That's a good question. I don't have an answer. I could make a lot of guesses, but that is all they would be and I don't tend to work that way. He came to me with this injury. When I agreed to take him in, I did not know it was a spinal injury. Because I am a person who does testing instead of just looking at symptoms, we found the spinal injury and were able to start him on his way to recovery pretty quickly. Made some mistakes along the way and learned a ton. So many people here on GC have been very supportive throughout his journey. mlove

Val, its almost 6 years now for jackie Chan, I've kinda heard a little about him thru some of the threads and finally just read the whole story.

He is definitely someone you will pity but be inspired and amazed at what what he had overcome. Im sure most of this is because you were there to support and help him to be the best that he can be. Like you said, he will only be handicapped if you let him be.

This is truly an inspiring story and it still amazes me how this little Suggies can steal our hearts. I can honestly say Im not an animal person because of my severe allergies to cat danders and some dogs. But when I saw my Joey, he stole my heart. I only had him for 15 days but we had bonded so quickly, about a week, and thru all his health issues we had gotten closer that it is still painful for me and still cant help but to cry, everytime I remember him or talk about him.

I am new to this site and its amazing how much support you can get from almost everyone here.

Keep up the good work, I salute you and the Glider Central community!!!

sincerely,
Nancy

AWWW. Shannon, that is sweet.
Turns out, when *I* am feeling low, I have some Jackie Chan time too. wink

It is time for another yearly update. Maybe after the RRRoundup I can find time to summarize the last year.
