Subject: Glider prolapse??
Posted by Dino on April 07, 1999 at 20:59:30:

Greetings.We keep a pair of 5 month old +/-(post pouch)Gliders.We have had them for roughly four months,and in the last few weeks the male has been exhibiting signs of what I fear may be a prolapse.When it first was noticed I was able to chase his hemipene back in with a wet paper towel,but more recently I can still chase it back in,but it does not stay in...the tip(s) continue to drop out...and if he urinates during handling episodes it droops out at least 3/4 of an inch!I have been hoping it may have been due to some sort of phase,like "Glider puberty"...but my concern has grown considerably and I am more and more fearing the worst.Any help and/or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
