SUCH awesome news!!! I just have a couple questions about all this... for anyone who can aswer ~ 1) Where in FL are you? and you go to FL for part of the year and then Virginia? I think you might have said something about that way back but that was SSOOO long ago... Im not sure where to look. 2) What is this vets name? I cant imagine he wants to be anonymous, does he? I think we would all like to know... (I have lived a 1/3 of my life in FL and as nice as the 30 minutes of summer can be here upstate NY, I am still not sure it makes up for the other three seasons winter, before winter and after winter!! - My point is that I for one would definitely like to know who this vet is b/c Im likely not staying here a whole lot longer....) 3)How did he and Simba bond so well? Or is that just the kind of guy Simba is??? Being new at all this, and with all its taking here to bond to these boys ~ I have to wonder how a vet, one who does all the poking and prodding, gets a tight relationship going... Am I explaining that well at all? Nothing against vets at all, obviously... Its just that alot, if not most, animals dont really like going to the vet too much and its not like vets have alot of time to just hang out, bond, and get to know everyones pets... How long have they known each other? Did Simba see him regularly before? I mean enough to actually know him and that he was going to help him?? 4) I know nothing about penis amputation. How exactly does he pee now? I hope that is not a dumb question... Thanks! Again, SOSOSOSOSOSO happy that he is doing well!!!

4) I know nothing about penis amputation. How exactly does he pee now? I hope that is not a dumb question... Not dumb at all! Males use their penis solely for reproduction. They don't need it to pee.

OMG!!! Now, I REALLY feel dumb. So the pee just happens to come out there but doesnt need to? I swear my 11 yr old knows more than I do!! Are you smarter than a 6th grader? *** NOT that she knows more about the penis than I do... That is definitely NOT what I meant! OMG... LOL *** [censored] no!

I just got a call from the vet's office. He had his vet tech call me to let me know that Simba is eating better and is sleeping peacefully right now. He still doesn't feel comfortable with me bringing him home yet but he will talk to me about that and everything else when he calls. He's going to call me after he sees a few patients. He just didn't want me to sit here and worry. How nice of him to do that. The vet tech also said he would weigh Simba and let me know what his weight is. He had lost a lot of weight during this and I want to see if he is finally gaining it back. I will feel much better when he is gaining it back.

How exactly does he pee now? I hope that is not a dumb question... Thanks! Again, SOSOSOSOSOSO happy that he is doing well!!! 1. I'm in Gainesville FL. I am from here and my husband is military stationed in VA. We go back and forth all throughout the year. Sometimes I stay in FL for months at a time. 2. The vet I use in FL is Dr.Patrick Gauvin from All Creatures Family Pet center. It's a small office but him and his wife are both vets and he is one of the best vets I have ever worked with! I highly recommend him to anyone in the area that needs a vet! 3. I have been taking my gliders to Dr.Pat for years. I have a vet in FL and a vet in VA. They are both awesome. I wouldn't say that Simba sees him enough to know him. Simba is a very sweet boy. He loves people. Dr.Pat is the type of vet that treats animals like little people. He truly loves his job and is in it to help animals. He has been very gentle with Simba and has been spending a lot of time with him. Simba liked him from the first day he saw him after this started. He was examining him and putting topical medicine on him and would stop just to give Simba a little sugar water from a syringe. Everyone that knows Simba personally will agree that THAT is the way to Simba's heart! Lol He spoke very softly to him and just showed Simba that he really cared and was there to help him. Their bond formed almost instantly. Dr.Pat hasn't just been treating Simba's medical issues. He has also been treating him mentally. He has cuddled with him and gently played with him. He has carried him around on him for hours at a time giving him that human interaction that he needs. He has also been hand feeding him which has also brought them closer. Dr.Pat is just so intuned to animals and seems to really understand that they don't just need medical treatment they need to feel cared for and to be loved. 4. Sugar gliders have a forked penis. Right where the fork begins (where the two parts of the penis split off) is the urethra where they pee. A vet can amputate all the way up to where the fork is and they will still be able to pee. Some gliders only require a partial amputation but due to the frenulum that keeps the penis from hanging out of the body all the time being totally destroyed, Simba had to have a full amputation. A full amputation is a very delicate surgery because they have to make sure that they don't damage the urethra and that it stays intact. Gliders that do well through the surgery usually heal up and have normal lives. Don't ever think your questions are dumb! It shows your interest to learn more about gliders! That is a good thing and we would never think you were dumb for wanting to learn more! We all had to start somewhere. At one point every one of us didn't know much about them. We still don't know everything since there is not enough known about them. That is why there is constant research being done to try to learn more. Just Simba's case alone is teaching the vets about more about gliders that they may not have known before. I have definitely learned a LOT from everything that has happened with Simba! I hope that what Simba has gone through will help other gliders down the road. Hopefully no other glider will have to go through what he has been through. Keep the prayers and good thoughts coming for my little Simba!

Brandi can you bring that vet back with you this summer? I begged him to come but for some reason he just wont do it. Darn! At least he talks to Dr.Brinker in VA so we know Dr.Brinker can call him any time for advice if he needs to. They are both good vets! I still think we should take over Texas and move all of the glider owners there along with all of the good vets!

Thank you for all that Brandi!! I am so glad he is seeing such a great vet!! I did know the vet was going out of his way for him etc... but I had just wondered how Simba let him... I guess it must help that you and Simba are bonded so tight!! He knows you trust him so he does as well, I guess?

Hey everyone! Guess what! Brandi's vet called and said she could pick Simba up and bring him home tonight! He's doing well and he felt that being back home with Brandi would be a good thing for him. Now, he can't have any family visitation because he doesn't want him to get too excited but he can at least cuddle with Brandi for the night. Needless to say, she's on her way there to get him!!

Does the little man have to go back to the vets in the morning or does he finally get to stay home? Im busting at the seams with happiness that Simba gets to go home!!! You go little buddy!!! The power of prayer is so strong and Simba is proof of that.
