Between phone calls and texts with Bourbon and being on the phone with Brandi and Connie...I bet Verizon will come up with a new "Simba Plan" for me. So here goes. Just spoke with Brandi. When she got to her vet with Simba, his first words were, "he's a mess!" Well, we knew that! He said that had he been available, the first thing he would have done would be to put an anti-inflammatory on it to make the swelling go down. That's neither here nor there, but I wanted to point it out nonetheless. He said that right now, it's impossible to take the purse stitch out because Simba's penis is still incredibly swollen, so much so that it would be risky to take the stitch out now. He did use an anti-inflammatory while Brandi was there and a small bit of the swelling went down, but still not enough. On a happy note (and for those of you that know Brandi's gliders, you'll get a chuckle)...when the vet pulled out the syringe, Simba tried his hardest to lean over to him to get it! LOL Simba was a hand raised baby, and not only that, Brandi will oftentimes have special bonding time with her gliders and feed them treats with a syringe. They all absolutely LOVE it! So, as soon as Simba saw it, it was treat time! LOL So, back to it. After further examination, it turns out Simba has chewed a small portion off of the tip of his penis. The old vet didn't notice this. Brandi's vet will make a phone call this afternoon to the old vet to find out exactly what was done. Then, he will consult with Dr. Tristan to work up a course of action. Simba is being monitored at the vet this afternoon. Brandi will go there later this afternoon and is going to bring him home this evening. The doctor feels that it will reduce some of his stress, being home with mommy. She will then bring him back tomorrow morning so that the treatment can continue. The hope is that the swelling will have gone down enough to be able to remove the stitch so that they can begin to figure out just what can be done. The new vet says that the initial problem, his penis staying out, likely came from overactive hormones and excessive flossing (I know y'all know this, just relaying info) but that with as uber-hormonal as Simba is, it will likely happen again so the decision has been made to neuter him. When this will happen is up in the air and Brandi's vet and Dr. Tristan will determine that time frame once they consult with one another. Brandi did ask the vet if Simba was going to be all right. The vet said that at this point, with how he looks and what's happened, it's just too early to tell. So please, send every thought, every prayer, every well wish Brandi and Simba's way.

Brandi is on her way to get Simba for the evening. She's SO excited to be able to love and cuddle on him! The vet was able to get a bit more of the swelling down this afternoon but it still has a ways to go before they can take the stitch out. He was, however, able to loosen the stitch a bit so that Simba can go potty. The vet sub-q'd him with vitamins and he even got him to eat a little. Simba seems to be a little more comfortable and is acting a little happier - all signs that he's a strong little boy and feels all the love from everyone!

OMG Brandi! I had no idea this was going on. Just have not been on GC much because of the evil boss, etc. Praying he turns around for you. Poor little man!

Glad to hear that they have gotten some of the swelling down. I hope he continues to improve.

Hello everyone! I just want to say THANKS for everything ya'll have been doing to help my little man through all of this mess! I really appreciate it so much! This has been so stressful and scary for us. I don't know what I would do without the GC community! I want to say a very BIG thank you to Simba's special angel for helping with part of his vet bill! I don't think you realize just how much that has helped out. My family has been going through some really bad stuff that has taken away most of our vet funds for my gliders (I have a bank account that I set up just for my gliders and we had to use that money). I can not thank you enough for helping with his medical bills. I am sure by the time all of this is over they will be very high. I have been so worried about how I would pay them. So thank you, thank you, thank you! Simba says thank you too! I'm sorry I have not been able to get on here and post myself. There has just been so much going on since this all started. I have barely had any sleep in the past few days because of this. I have Simba home with me right now. I have to put topical medicine on him every half hour to try to get this severe swelling down. His vet wants this swelling down by morning so he can get that stitch out. I also have to give him antibiotics and pain medicines. I am hand feeding him but he isn't wanting much. He also is not wanting to drink water at all. I have tried it with a syringe and water bottle but he still refuses. I ended up making some of my special glidershake and he has been drinking a little of that every hour. So at least he's getting some fluids in him. He has pooped twice since he's been home. It's very tiny like joey poop. It also hurts him really bad to poop and pee. He cries when he goes. I have to have Simba back at his vet first thing in the morning. I really hope and pray that vets and glider owners will all learn from what Simba has been through and learn what the proper treatment for an inflamed and prolapsed penis is. What was done to Simba should not have ever be done! I can't say much more about that because there are legal things going on right now because of what Simba is going through. I will say though that everyone needs to take pictures of injuries and other issues from the time they happen and as they progress. My vet was SO happy I had taken all of the pictures I did! He was able to see what it first looked like and how it looked as it progressed until the point of when he examined him. So even if you think you won't need them take them anyways, if you end up not needing them you can always delete them! I will try to give another update soon. If I'm not able to I will have someone post the updates for me. Please keep Simba in your thoughts and prayers. I NEED my baby to make it through this! I can't even imagine my life without him! He has helped me through so much bad stuff that has gone on in my life. He's my best friend.

Awe Brandi. I can only imagine how exhausted you all must be, including poor Simba baby. He has been through so much already, we pray for a speedy recovery. I am glad to hear that there are "legal things" going on, what has been done to Simba is unthinkable. You have been such a wonderful mommy to him.

Morning Update: Simba and I made it through the night. Although I'm pretty exhausted and so is he. He didn't want to eat food last night but he was taking the glidershake for me. He took about 3-4cc's every time I offered it to him. So at least he was getting something. He still looks pretty swollen but I'm hoping when I get him to the vet this morning that he says it has gone down enough to get that stitch out. I think he's starting to get depressed from being away from his mate Nala. He just sits there in his incubator looking so pathetic just staring out. I think it's upsetting Nala too. I did put her in with their daughter Izzy hoping that would help but she's still acting upset. Hopefully it doesn't make her sick. I will try to give another update after I take him to the vet and drop him off.
