And it has been since last night. Should I take him into the vets? If so, does anyone have phone numbers for consulting vets who know about this stuff? I asked about this elsewhere last night, and was told he was just being a dude, and not to mess with it. I know it is normal for it to be out sometimes... but I doubt being out for a span of hours is normal.

I would definately take him to the vet. I wouldn't risk permanent damage by his penis being out for too long. It could dry out and/or he might start SMing it. You might try making sure it stays lubed with some KY until you can get him into the vets office.

Try using KY jelly on it, and see if he'll put it back in. It shouldn't be out all the time, it is bad if it gets dried out, then he won't be able to retract it. If he can't get it back in, take him to the vet.

How old is this little fella? Sometimes when they are hitting puberty, they do it just because they can I would still keep a close eye on him.
I'm going to to ahead and move this to Health & Hygiene for you.

He is somewhere between 4-5. I have a vet appointment at noon to take him in to the nearest vet. The one we usually go to for our critters didn't have their exotic vet in today.

Yep, on both tips. So they're going to do that, put it back inside, and put a stitch to hold it (I talked to the vet about this preventing him from using the bathroom, and he said it wouldn't). I was told if I don't hear by 2pm, to call and see what is going on. There was another surgery first. The desk girl told me that this vet sees a lot of gliders, and he sounds like he knew what he was doing, so...

Surgery is already done, and the vet is in doing another surgery. I was told he would talk to me when I go in to pick up Samson, which they said to do about 3 (It's after 1 here now), so he can wake up from the anesthesia. She said that they had to put the stitch in because everything was so swollen it just kept popping right back out.

I have a phone number for Dr. Pat now, and she said to have my vet call and consult with him or Dr. Fronefield when I go in to pick up Samson.

The vet said he would call Dr. Pat (he couldn't do it right that second, they were very busy) and I told him to call me if Dr. Pat said anything that he needed to deal with. The stitches are temporary, and come out tomorrow morning. I also explained to him a bit more about what happened with Simba. He seemed to take all of my concerns to heart. Samson is doing fine. Isn't messing with the area at all, and I have some medication to give him tonight and the next few following nights.

The way I see it, Jen, is like this. If you had a skin kid and something was seriously wrong, the doctor says XYZ. It involves a major surgery. Are you going to say 'oh ok' or would you want a second opinion? Add to that a LOT of people are saying 'this is not a good idea' and shows you proof. Would you let the doctor do it anyway, or are you going to see about finding out more from other doctors? (Hope that makes sense.) I don't know how you view your animals, but I see mine as my children. I treat them with the same exact dignity and respect as I do my human child. That being said, it doesn't matter if you hurt the vets feelings. I'm not saying be a you know what. You can approach the subject calmly and respectfully, but still be matter of fact. Approach your vet and tell him: 'I'm really concerned about this procedure done on Samson. I know somebody who just recently went through an eerily identical situation and it's been a heckish ride and many times over they weren't sure her little guy was going to make it. Her vet consulted with other vets that are EXTREMELY knowledgeable in this stuff and if it weren't for those consults, her glider most assuredly would not have made it. I would really appreciate it if you did the same.' Offer the phone numbers. But this is a dire situation that cannot wait any longer. Those stitches need to come out. I don't want Samson, or you, to go through what Simba and Brandi have gone through and are continuing to go through. Here's that thread if you're not familiar with the story: Part OnePart TwoPart ThreePart Four

I'm not sure where they are getting it either, Cora. I am thinking about calling the vet before they close to see if he actually has called Dr. Pat like he said that he would. I may be sleeping, though, since DH will be home at that time to keep an eye on Samson to make sure he doesn't mess with anything, then I'll be able to stay up through out the night. Thanks Karen!

I already posted above that I explained to him about Simba, and what went on there, and asked him to call Dr. Pat. He said that he would. He also said that he would call me if something was up. I didn't see your post as it was posted while I was typing. I had stopped for a minute to get something. I saw it after I posted and just didn't feel the need to edit. Sorry.

I hope this wasn't in reference to what I said. I wasn't trying to be mean by any means. I'm EXTREMELY compassionate. I stated I don't know how she views her animals (I treat mine just like my human child) because many people DON'T see them as they do humans. IE: My mother loves animals and is great with them, but thinks I give my animals too much respect. Not to go off topic. Just trying to clarify. I'll shush now.

Thank you for the update. I will continue to keep Samson in my thoughts and prayers for a speedy recovery. Also, please keep in mind that vets can be very busy and unfortuantely they are not able to always get things done as quickly as we would like. So even if your vet was able to call Dr. Pat, Dr. Pat may not have been available right at that minute. I know its really hard to be patient. I thought I was going crazy when I was waiting on results for Ivey's cancer. I was also calling my vet way more than I needed too about her consulting with another vet. Luckily they were very patient with me, but I'm sure I was getting aggrivating and annoying. LOL So do please keep in mind that both vets still have other patients than just our gliders. As important as our babies are to us, the other owners of pets feel the same way about theirs and our vets can only do what they can get done in the time they have to do it.

If his nose is *really* turning purple or something, then he isn't getting enough air and it is too tight. HOWEVER, it is very normal for the nose to change color at first - they are fighting the collar and that does use more oxygen. You shouldn't be concerned for the first bit of color change, only if it is staying that way or is really really dark.
I am hoping for the best for you two!

His nose tends to be on the darker side most of the time, so I'll be sure to watch it.
I really hate to have to put him in that collar, but I need some sleep tonight. I figured I'd do it while I gave him his meds, and measured him for an ejacket, and just get everything done in one blow so I don't have to mess with him again.
At the rate he is fighting with it, though, I'm not gonna be able to feed him for a while. Dishes will go flying.

Awwww poor little man. He'll tucker himself out soon enough, and if he is really pulling and tugging and it is staying on, I think you've got it set just right. You may need to hand-feed him some or use one of the bird silos for the BML or HPW (I don't know what staple you feed, sorry) to make sure he gets some while in the collar.

I just put the ecollar on him. He HATES it. Also gave him his meds which was much easier than what I thought it would be.
How can I tell if the ecollar is too tight? If he's crabbing, he can breathe. If you can see him breathing, it's ok. You should be able to slip a fingernail between it and his neck, but no more space than that. Here are videos of a glider fighting an ecollar. He stopped after twenty minutes.

I have him in a sattelite at the moment. I also have a shotglass handy if I need to switch. His nose is still a normal color, so I'm taking that as a good sign. I do hope he tires himself out soon, it sucks to see him fight with it so. Samson is doing exactly like the video, pushing his head down and everything. My poor kid. ETA: I attempted to help him out eating, he really wasn't interested in it at the moment. He's more interested in fighting with the collar. I don't have any silos handy. I'll pick some up tomorrow if I need to. I left the dishes for now, and I'll try again after he has had some time to settle down.

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.

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.

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.

The whole thing is Miss Jen he does not need a stitch. I dont understand what the vet hopes to accomplish by that, would you ask him the purpose, maybe I am missing something. But I would think the less invasive the better and the mutilation /penis prolapse experts have alternative methods, Prep h, and triple antibiotic plus pain, oragel/benzodent(make a paste, numbs area for hours), there are topical prescription antiinflammatory agents. If the TAO plus pain is applied often and collar/jacket stays on the penis will not dry out! With the stitches so many complications can occur. ((((HUGS))) hon

Samson is still doing okay. Didn't eat as much last night as he did the night before, but I don't think he likes his fruits/veggies pureed together. He did eat some of it, though, and ate all of his complete. There are also plenty of poos in the bottom of the cage.
He is gunky again, though. Anyone have any tips for cleaning him up? I wiped him off yesterday with a wash cloth with warm water, but I don't feel like it did a good job. I have baby wipes, nature's miracle wipes, liquid soap, bar soap, etc. I'm just not sure what is okay to use on him.

wipes tend to leave em greasy looking. shampoos dry out the skin. I get nolvasan from my vet (its a blue colored wound cleaning solution)and water it down to light blue, wet a washcloth with warm water, i pour some on one end of the wascloth and wipe down his soiled spots, then i use the other end of the cloth to rinse him(Spencer), i then dry him with a towel and plop him in my bra until hes dry.

Seeing as the use "regular" Dawn dish soap to clean oil off of wild life I would think that a very dilute solution of plain Dawn (no bleach or other additives) would work to clean him up until you can get the Nolvasan.
With either solution make sure you get as much as possible out of his fur, ringing out a washcloth several times.
Good Luck

Well, she got the e-jacket to stay on and Samson has learned how much NICER it is than an e-collar (giving him a test treat.... ) I told her about this video I made yesterday....it's a little amusing and VERY comforting to see me having to try at least twice to get it to stay on this little wisp of a girl named Savaan, she nailed me HARD at least 3 times before I got it to stay. She was NOT happy to be my model....I told her she was going to be a star, she didn't care!

Well, she got the e-jacket to stay on and Samson has learned how much NICER it is than an e-collar (giving him a test treat.... ) I told her about this video I made yesterday....it's a little amusing and VERY comforting to see me having to try at least twice to get it to stay on this little wisp of a girl named Savaan, she nailed me HARD at least 3 times before I got it to stay. She was NOT happy to be my model....I told her she was going to be a star, she didn't care! And where can we see this video???
