Male Glider penis problem - 10/18/17 09:58 PM
Hello, so yesterday I picked up my male Glider and noticed one fork of his penis was out. His coaclea is also swollen. I have been to the vet about a month ago for an extremely swollen coaclea and the vet gave me pain meds and Baytril to knock out any infection. He said the anal glands were swollen-not to the maximum capacity. I finished this cycle of meds and the swelling went away. Today I picked him up and noticed his underside is soaking wet and again one fork of the penis is out not even an inch. I have never seen just one half of it at a time? I will attempt to get pictures. He is 10months old and intact.

He could have had it out flossing. This is normal. Watch him, and make sure it foes back in. It's also important his penis doesn't dry out. Right this second I can't remember what they use to put on it to keep it moist just in case. Let me see if I can find something on this.

Ok, it was KY or a water base lubricant IF needed. For the most part, just watch him. Please keep us posted

Having him neutered will help with some of the problem.
I would have him checked for a UTI.

Thanks. So it's about six hours later and he still has one fork of it out about 1/4 inch and it periodically drips clear fluid that really has no scent

It wouldn't hurt to have him checked out by a vet.
I also agree with Feather that having him neutered may help.
Please keep us posted, I'm learning as much as I can about males. I see a neutered one in my future soon!

I agree with having him checked. I don't think it should be periodically dripping fluid which sounds like seminal fluid to me. Could be there is pressure on that fork of his penis.
