 Need Advice ASAP! Glider Constipation

So right now its 12:10 in the morning when im writing this. Today ifound my male glider around 8:00 8:20 hissing a little too much. So i thought hes probably teasing the other glider. But it continued so i thought hmm let me look at him. As i got to see what was going on he was trying to poop but it looked like he was constipated and hes cloaca was a bit swollen. So i went to buy some apples, cucumbers, strawberries, apple juice, and some 100% pure pumpkin to give it to him to help pass the poop stuck inside and for about 15/20 minutes i have been helping him push out the poop. I gave him 2 almonds yesterday which i know i should not give too often now. But he is active eating the pumpkin with the apple juice and a apple too. Im staying up tonight to see if he gets a bit better. The lady i adopted mines from works at a vet and has years of experience for gliders and i have keeping update with her. But if i can have any other advice? When will the swelling go down? Hes eating alot too. Ill be up all night hoping for a response

Hello, I apologize for not replying sooner, I usually do not check the journals (your questions are more likely to be answered quickly if you post them in the glider gossip instead) Fot constipation, pumpkin and watery foods help, but if it lasts several days, it can be sign of UTI or occlusion, which needs immediate vet attention.

Update 2: well looks like everything id out and his cloaca is less swollen. Ill be up all night monitoring him to see he uses the bathroom good again in the morning. But eating and drinking still and running around like nothing happend but he usually tires himself out but 2:30 my time
