Take this as a lesson, he is almost dead this morning because I didn't take him to the Vet yesterday. I's totally my fault. He is dying in my hand

Oh no Maggie! So sorry to hear that. But don't go blaming yourself either - you did what most of us would of done, used resources until you could get to the vet you know. Hope everything works out okay for him.

I did everything I know to do and he died in my hand this morning. The breeder I got him from and several other people say that there was something else wrong with him, that the penis prolapse was a secondary problem. That they don't die from a prolapsed penis. But I still feel very bad I didn't take him to the Vet, or get up in the night and put more KY on his penis. He was urinating thru it and he ate almost as much as normal at dinner last night. However, despite whatever anyone has said holding him in my hand as he died was heart wrenching.
The Vet that was available to me at the time was the same Vet that allowed my Big Bubba to die at his hospital. He took one look at Bubba and said, "Well, he's toast". Now how in the hell do you say something like that to a keeper who is in tears beside herself? I loved Big Bubba with ever fiber of my being and to have him die like that was devastating. He wrapped my Big Bubba in a bath towel and handed me his body without even an I'm sorry. I despise that man and would never and have never taken any more animals to him. So I guess I let my ego take over and that little glider died because of it.
He was nine years old, getting up there for a glider and it has been suggested that there was organ failure that caused his death. So I don't know what you all are thinking, maybe I am not a good keeper. Maybe I shouldn't be allowed to have any animals. I don't know, I did my best, but that wasn't good enough. It has been suggested that the Vet wouldn't have been able to do anything anyway. Who knows? I just know it hurts and my confidence is shaken because of it...
