He's tinkled, I've stuck my hand in it when I reached into the pouch (ew). I haven't seen him do anything else, or attempt to do anything else yet. He's been snoozing, and now he is fighting with the ecollar. He ate a little more Complete, and also ate some by himself. I think I may mix up some more and give him some extra, so at least he has that to eat. He isn't very interested in fruits/veggies at all. He likes to hold his food while he eats it (unless it is a pine nut, which he just shoves in his mouth and sucks on it or whatever he does), and he can't do that with the collar.

I am in such shock reading this! My heart went up in my throat. I feel like I am reading about Simba all over again! I really hope your little man will be okay! I hope he doesn't have to go through what my Simba is going through! I can't believe they stitched him shut!!!! Has he pooped at all? If he doesn't poop soon then you need to get that stitch out of there. If he starts pushing like he needs to poop but can't he may end up prolapsing his penis through where the stitches are and that will further damage his penis! Simba did that and his penis ended up looking like hamburger meat! The stitches also tore his frenulum - the piece that keeps the penis from hanging out all the time. I really hope you can get a hold of Dr.Pat! He is such an awesome vet! If it wasn't for him my Simba wouldn't have made it this far! I am here if you need me. I know exactly what you are going through since I am also going through the same thing. Send me a pm if you need to talk and I can send you my number. Or you can get my number from Bourbon or someone else that has it. This should not be happening again! Everyone needs to know that if your glider's penis does not go back in use preperation H and orajel on it along with an ecollar! Do this first! It will help take the swelling down and help with any pain. The penis should go back inside once the swelling is down. If you take them to a vet then request they give them something for inflammation and pain before they try anything else!

I just got back from dropping Simba off and they said they got your vet's message. They called just after they had closed. Dr.Pat should call him back. I just wanted to let you know he did get the message.

My vet called while I was in the glider room and left a voice mail. He wanted to see how Samson was doing, and he said that Dr. Pat said that he likes to leave them stitched for a couple of days? Dr. Richard (my vet) said that he wanted to make sure he could use the bathroom and what not. Either way I bring him in in about a half hour. Samson ate pretty good last night, all things considered. He still isn't happy with that ecollar though. I can't wait to get the jacket so he can move around something close to normal. He's a bit gunky this morning. Can I use a baby wipe to clean him off, or should I just use water? Other than that he seems like he is doing pretty good. Ears are up and alert, eyes are still shiny and what not.

If he is unable to poop, then the stitch needs to come out.

Connie -- if he doesn't do anything in the next couple of hours I'll call the vet back so I can bring him in. Thanks again Denise! He will be so happy to get out of that ecollar!

When was the last time he pooped? I know my gliders can poop 5-6 times an hour during play time.

I know he went on the way the vets yesterday. I don't know if he went while he was at the vets -- if he did they didn't tell me. I'll get dressed (I'm a PJ lounger) and give the vet a call here in a few minutes and bring him in.

He hasn't pooped at all since having the stitch put in?? Yeah, he needs it out for sure before more damage is done. When Roo had troubles with his penis, my vet put in a purse stitch to make the opening smaller. He could still pee and poop tho.

He is at the vets now. The doctor is in surgery, so I dropped him off. I'll get a call when he's done.

No phone call or updates yet. I'm so stinking tired though, ugh. If I had known the vet was going to take this long I would of taken a nap. I need it.

we can get the swelling down without the stitch by using a combination of ointments and such it will not dry out with the treatments many of us have used did you talk with your vet about those?some brandi already mentioned and yes if your glider has not defecated that adds to a whole list of issues.. I am trying to help you and your glider sweetie. Please call me.

We're back from the vets. He made poo there. They took out one of the stitches (apparently there were two and I didn't realize it, or I misunderstood what he told me, which is very possible since I was so frazzled yesterday). The plan is still to take the other one out Thursday if all is still going well. Samson is back in the nice, warm glider room where hopefully he can get some sleep. I'll check on him in a little bit to make sure he is still doing okay. I didn't think to mention the ointments when I went in. My brain doesn't seem like it is all here these past couple of days. Stress REALLY does a number on me, and lack of sleep with it isn't helping matters. He is on an anti-inflammatory. I have two doses left. He got one last night, he'll get one tonight, and then again tomorrow night.
