My 3-Month-Old Sugar Glider’s Pouch Hasn’t Developed Properly

Usually just kibble, no other food; since yesterday afternoon he vomits, locked in cage he kept crying, let out he still vomits, today still vomiting

Stool was dry when first home; after some wet food it got a bit loose; does this count as diarrhea?
From the photo, the stool is loose and unformed; if spirits and appetite are good, it may be indigestion from wet food, common in cats with weak guts or new food. First fast and withhold water 6-12 hours and give pet probiotics, then slowly return to the old diet, avoiding sudden changes or new foods. If diarrhea continues, check parasites and gut flora at the vet.
One-and-a-half-month kitten foamed at the mouth and vomited; taken for a shot and meds, no improvement, then diagnosed with panleukopenia at the vet, on IV fluids for 7-8 days, still eats nothing, slight bloody stool, empty gut
Panleukopenia attacks the gut lining and causes loss of appetite and ongoing vomiting, so early treatment withholds food and uses IV nutrition to prevent dehydration. The vet gives symptomatic care plus leukocyte boosters, interferon, and panleukopenia monoclonal antibody. Once vomiting, diarrhea, and blood stop, feed small amounts of liquid high-protein food and appetite-stimulating injections.

What happens if a rabid dog bites another dog?
If the biter has active rabies and the bitten dog is unvaccinated, the bitten dog will likely catch rabies and later show madness. Rabies is near-always fatal once active and can spread to other animals and people, so vaccinate regularly and avoid bites.
