I know this is depressing but I just need to vent a little. Our male sugar glider Leo died today 
That was by far the hardest thing I've had to do, I'm really glad that I work for a veterinary clinic. I gave the vet clinic a call and we rushed Leo to see him, he was acting really lethargic and..just different. On the car ride there Leo started having seizures, and still kept having them when we got to the clinic.
Leo was really dehydrated and so we gave him some fluids and vitamins to help, and he seemed to get a little bit better for a while, and then the seizures started getting worse. Leo gave it a good fight for about 45 minutes before he passed away.
I've never had an animal die in my hands before..I don't want to ever have that happen again DH and I were just silent the whole way home, I feel like its my fault as a pet owner that I should have seen something sooner, I know he had water yesterday and he was out this morning. The doctor said from his seizures and looking at his eyes that it was something neurological that caused him to become dehydrated as a side effect..but I still can't help but feel like it was my fault for not noticing any other signs that he was sick...but still.
I think that Kiah knows something isn't right too. I can't know for sure, but she just seems like she knows something is wrong. We got her out when we got home and gave her some loves and when I put her back in her cage she just sat up in her hammock looking at Leo's cage. It breaks my heart I just hope that she will be alright until Danny and I are ready to have another sugie. Sugar gliders are companion animals and do better in pairs..but we just couldn't replace Leo that quickly
Sorry about this being so depressing...I just had to vent. Thanks for listening ladies

I am so sorry to hear about Leo!!! I know how hard it is to lose a pet- they aren't just pets, they are your good friends! I am sure that Leo loved his life with you guys and knew nothing but happiness. I know that it will be hard to get through for a while, but you will. You can spend some time lovin' on your other babies, knowing you are giving them all wonderful lives. *Huggg
Thanks so much ladies. I really appreciate all your thoughts
I'm still having a hard time getting through the day without wanting to cry..its hard going to the vet clinic ever day for work..and on top of that every day I"ve been there this week we've had to make a house call to help someone's dog die. *sigh* I just miss him
and I know kiah misses him. She just seems like she knows hes not there...and I can't do anything for her but hold her as much as I can so she doesn't get too lonely. It makes me sick to my stomach still thinking about it 
Its not fair he was so young... I miss hearing his little bell tinkle at night :'(
