Hi these things never happened to me before and I can't find any information on this at all
I know this sounds weird and I have a very strict rule for my room to have nothing dangerous in it which also includes anything in a closed package or even makeup
My glider is 12 years old and u heard her playing with something for 10 minutes until my girlfriend found out it was her used tampon
I think it's cotton but it looks like it was chewed in a way that my glider possibly didn't eat the tampon but probably sucked the blood from it
I don't know how dangerous that is and currently I can't contact a vet for advice at this time
She doesn't seem to have any known problems showing and I know gliders tend to hide things

I am not sure if the blood will affect him, I am more concerned with the tampon material.
Until you can get in touch with your veterinarian, I would offer grapes and watermelon to keep him hydrated, you don't want any tampon material to make him constipated.
Keep trying to contact your vet.

I would keep the juicy fruits going for at least another 24 hours.

Glad to hear that things are going ok.

She's doing so much better now
The vets worry was that she may have swallowed cotton she seemed to only swallowed a tiny bit and she pooped
It out and her poop us normal now so what vlood she consumed has left her system
Recently I have another problem with a new glider I got from a breeder just two days ago but she's getting exams right now either due to calcium deficiency or a damaged back or even a bacteria infection due to contact with a cat (the breeders problem due to him leaving her at a house where his partners cat had full access to the cage (she was a rehome due to being returned to him)
It's costing me a fortune this one and he never mentioned any health issues and he's a 5 star breeder but sold this one on kijiji instead of his website
My father picked the glider because he didn't want me to spend a lot of money on the gliders the same guy was selling on his page but it has now officially cost waaaay more than what my father expected due to the vet bill being double her cost
I'm paying the bill of course and I'm no longer gonna let him do the calls when it comes to gliders
I've been an owner since 2011 and had my current one since 2012 since she paired with my first

I've never seen a baby glider walk wobbly and hunched before at 5 months old and I'm upset with the guy because he's 5 stars pedigree and has all only positive reviews so I'm guessing he sells the sick batch on the side at kijiji
Also I just discovered that he uses canned minute maid juice for his vitamin mix which is too much for gliders

I am glad the episode with the bloody tampon is over.

As far as your other little one goes, have them treat her with antibiotics. If the symptoms of HLP came on rapidly it would be from a bacterial overgrowth in the gut They will need to be treated with antibiotics and oral calcium.

Keep us posted on your little ones.

Exams are over she has calcium deficiency and the tpg diet I have to gradually take her off it because of the used juice (too much sugar)
Waiting on blood tests for the level of calcium and bacteria but she's only suspected of calcium deficiency
She will be handicapped for here on but that's OK as long as she gets better and no longer stress
They gave me inflammation/pain medication for now and even said it was a miracle she didn't have bone fracture but she can't stay in the big cage until she recovers due to the risk
I'm gonna keep her in the traveling cage till I get a smaller one (I don't like keeping her in such a small space)
Max 5 days but will try tomorrow to get one

Check out the Critterlove diet. I think there is someone in Canada that sells it. It is one of the most tested diets out there,
