I forgot, about the "licking", there is no problem with that. There is very little blood, if any. It is such a small area that is cut. Your little Brett would do just fine. :>)

: Hee hee, I cannot imagine what that would look like, great visual!

: They applied a little local anesthetic. I imagine the snipping feels kind of like a pinch, or a glider bite. It really does not hurt them so badly. It was funny when Milo got neutered, after they let him go, he stood up, looked down and grabbed at his no longer existant manlihood. It was as if he were searching for it, saying "where did they go?". The amount of pain your glider may experience is not anywhere near the amount of pain an unwanted joey would experience. :-(

: Good luck with your decisoin,

: : Ouch! That sounds like it hurts. Do they apply a local anesthesia? I was considering having Brett neutered, but that sounds too painful. Did you have any problems with them licking the area afterwards or do they give you a little cone to put around their head...just had a visual of Brett with a cone around his head,lol:)
