Well guys...we have a happy man and Denise, you are one in a million, lady! The e-jacket made it to Brandi just in time for her to leave for the vet to pick Simba up for the night. This is where the next wonderful lady comes in. Cora - thank you! I contacted Cora and even though she was at work, she took the time to text me pictures of Spencer in HIS e-jacket so Brandi and her vet would have something to follow when putting it on. It worked perfectly and fit perfectly! Not only that, but Brandi's vet has been looking for something besides the standard e-collar so Denise...watch out, woman...this vet is LOVING you right now! We have yet another angel, as well, as Brandi's vet care was again paid for. It's a great day for Simba. After they put the e-jacket on, the first thing he did was race down Brandi's shirt and start chirping. Is this something to smile about, or what??? And without further adieu...allow me to present to you Mr. "no more monster pom" Simba!!!!!

Thank you, Aimee, for furnishing that picture....it makes me so happy I could spring a leak or 2 in a GOOD way! I spent my whole day fussing and saying little prayers under my breath that nothing happened to that package and it'd make its way in time.... MORE prayers answered!!!! And thank you, Cora, for helping Brandi out...you too are an on earth! I've told you that before, and I'll say it again! But I do know that I have to furnish pictures with the "instruction sheet"....silly me, not even THINKING about that! (Note to self that the next one needs to include such...words are great, but a picture is worth a THOUSAND words) If that's ALL the tweaking that needs to be done......HAPPY HAPPY JOY JOY!!! I'm just SOOOOOOOO happy that Simba is accepting his new "designer jacket" so willingly!

I've been following this since it was first posted but I never commented because I'm fairly new and not all too knowledgeable on everything gliders, but that's why I wanted to post now seeing how much better he's doing! But, reading through this, I've learned so much about gliders and this community! First off, even something as small as a glider "over flossing" can turn into something life threatening. Don't ever ignore your gliders. Keep an eye on them and always make sure nothing is out of the ordinary with them. If something is don't hesitate too long getting them to the vet and if it continues to not improve, or gets worse, get him to the vet A.S.A.P. The second thing is to try your hardest to find a GOOD and KNOWLEDGEABLE vet, whether it's through word-of-mouth or just a previous check-up. If you don't like the vet during a check-up, you're really not going to like them during an emergency. Finally, the support you get from this forum, especially during times of crisis, is phenomenal! From just owning my pair of gliders this long I've learned so much more that I wouldn't have learned otherwise and I'm so much more prepared to deal with them than I would be without you guys, not to mention, that if I ever have any questions or problems I'm sure I can count on you for the best advise possible!

Update on Mr. Monster Pom: he's feeling a little down tonight. He's been a bit lethargic this evening and just a little while ago, out came his penis again. With the couple of topicals, it went back in. But, get this - and yes, I'm sure it's a coincidence, but Brandi gave Simba his dinner to eat. He waited and wouldn't hold it in his own hands. Then, out comes the penis. Brandi picks up the food to hand feed, and in it goes....LOLOLOL. It's the "Feed Me Penis". Okay, so maybe not...this little man isn't out of the woods just yet, but Brandi's taking good care of him tonight, he's happily in the e-jacket (you're welcome, Denise!!!) and she'll continue to monitor him until morning when he goes back into the vet. Cora...I'm sure Spence wasn't any too happy, but just whisper to him that his buddy needed the help and that now, he's got a jacket twin!!!! Thank you again, both of you, for everything!

Then she sent me a text telling me it went back in the very second she hand fed him! Now tell me, folks, does Brandi qualify for Glider Slave of the Year, or what? LOL!

I think little Simba is starting to enjoy all the "personal" attention. He seems to be finding ways to get his slave to sit there and hand feed him.
Glad to hear he is doing better.

Short update as I don't know a whole lot yet... Last night, Simba's penis prolapsed again. He was very lethargic and wasn't wanting to eat much at all. He's back at the vet today and we're waiting to hear at this point. Will keep y'all posted when I hear more!

Just got off the phone with Brandi. Poor Simba had to endure yet another surgery today. The vet had to put in another stitch (NOT the same kind as the old vet did!). It was necessary and the only option for the moment. Apparently, there is a piece of the anatomy (I'm sorry, even though Brandi said it, I can't spell it so I won't even try) that holds the penis inside. The supposition (by the NEW vet) is that the stitching that the OLD vet did, destroyed that piece so he's no longer able to keep his penis inside on his own, which is why it continues to prolapse. New vet will be speaking with Dr. Fronefield to determine whether or not Simba can be "reconstructed". If not, they will have no choice but to amputate his penis because it will become necrotic. Simba has eaten a small amount but continues to have diarrhea, likely from a combination of the meds and stress. Brandi is on her way now to pick him up and she'll bring him back yet again tomorrow morning. I wish I had better news to report. I'll continue to update as I hear from Brandi.

Oh no! I hope he can be put back together properly! Poor Simba! This all should have never happened, had it not been for the OLD vet who wouldn't listen to Brandi.

Much love and prayers to Simba and Brandi. I read the whole thing, and gosh does it hurt to hear that people think that the " vet" tag on their name badge qualifies them to do whatever the heck they want to our babies. One of my close friends actually has a legal suit against one of the vets she went to. She had just gotten a cremeino male for breeding and brought him to the vet for a check-up, and the vet actually neutered him without asking permission from her...guess the outcome of that situation... Again, my prayers are out to you guys. Please do whatever it takes to force legal action against the vet who obviously did not care for your little Simba.

Simba Update... Well, I just dropped Simba off at the vets again. Yesterday the vet put him to sleep and when he examined him he saw that the frenulum was gone. That is the piece that keeps the penis from hanging out all the time. He had to put the penis back inside and do another stitch. He made sure that he was not totally closed and that he could go potty. But he did tell me that if he starts to swell more and is unable to go then I am to cut the stitch out immediately. He said that in order to have any chance of saving his penis that he will need to have the stitch in so his penis doesn't stay out and become necrotic. He is currently consulting with Dr.Fronfield about what to do next. He will need either some type of reconstructive surgery to repair where the frenulum is gone or he will need an amputation. Last night went ok. Simba did eat a little more. He cuddled with me for hours and watched tv with me. This morning he did have a little blood on his cloacal area. He was being a little more active. When I dropped him off with the vet he told me that if he prolapses again he will not be doing another stitch. He said that Simba has already been through so much and that doing another stitch would cause more trauma and damage. He doesn't want to do that to him. He is already worried about the possibility of scar tissue from the previous stitches. So hopefully his penis will stay in until they can figure out what to do. If it doesn't then he will need the amputation. Keep sending your prayers. He really needs them! We still don't know what the outcome of all this will be. Simba is a strong little boy and has already made it through a lot. 4 surgeries in under a week would probably have been too much for most gliders. But he keeps pulling through! I love my little man SO much! I just hope that what he has gone through never happens to another glider!
