Bonnie

took Bonnie the sugar glider to see Dr.t yesterday because she started to bleed out of the eye! I was scared for her and frantic! It seems she must have poked at her eye with her hand and nail and she did perforate her cornea, she made a small hole into her eye. And that was what bled. She isn't bleeding anymore and Dr.T is sure it will heal as long as she leaves it alone ( he said it is a shame that sugar gliders don't do well wearing an E-collar ( cone) to keep her away from her eye) The abscess is now a large hole under her eye. Which is a good thing , now that it is open, it won't fill up with puss anymore or became a huge and swollen infection. Dr.T told me not to worry, the hole and eye will heal, she may be blind in that eye though once it has all healed up. She'll live a normal life, she has her life long mate and boyfriend, Clyde to guide her. She is still on oral antibiotics and Dr.T added an antibiotic cream.
