Exotic Medical Supply

08/08/2024

Big changes have finally arrived for Exotic Medical Supply! At the request of many, we now offer three different sizes of kits: Basic, Plus, and Deluxe. The biggest difference between these three is whether you want Vetericyn Plus antimicrobial spray, e-collars, and sugar glider e-jackets included in your kits. The most Basic kit will be less expensive at $55, but it will not include those three items. The Plus will be $65 and will include everything from the Basic kit plus the Veterycin Plus and e-collars. The Deluxe will have a slight price increase to $80 and will include everything from both smaller kits along with the e-jackets. These are available now on the website: https://www.geekygliders.com/collections/exotic-medical-supply-kits

IN ADDITION: there are wound care refill packs available on the website as well. You can choose to have a 3 oz. bottle of Vetericyn Plus Antimicrobial Spray added to the refill kit for $10, which is a discount of $6 off manufacturer's suggested retail price.

If you have any questions regarding these changes or new products, please feel free to comment below!

Whether it’s the initial price of your beloved exotic pets, housing setups, appropriate diets, or veterinary care, costs easily add up, and sometimes exceed thousands of dollars. After dedicating so much financially, physically, and emotionally, it’s reasonable to want to protect your investment...

Hey everyone! There are some changes coming to the EMS Kits, and I want to announce them here first. After months of trying to restock the Bene-bac Pet Gel, I was informed that Pet AG has discontinued the smaller 1 gram sample bottles. My options were to either buy larger tubes that would not only raise the cost of the kit, but would likely expire with a lot of waste for customers, or I could switch to individually packed powder pre- and probiotics. I've opted to go with the Tomlyn powdered pre- and probiotics. Instead of a 1 gram tube, you'll get a 4 gram packet.

These are flavorless powders that can be sprinkled over food. Just like the Bene-bac Pet Gel, you don't need to use the whole packet. Sprinkling a tiny amount is totally fine. These packets are originally packaged for much larger animals. I still have a couple Bene-bac Pet Gel tubes in stock, but once those are gone, I'll be switching to these.

If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out to me!

For any of you who shop at Walmart or Aldi's for produce for your fuzzy butts, there has been an extended voluntary recall for listeria contamination. This is a deadly disease for gliders, and I know several people who have lost entire colonies as a result of this devastating infection. Please double check that you weren't within the states listed who purchased one of the products contaminated.

UPDATE! After just over a week of fighting it, I've finally tested negative for COVID. I'm excited to resume orders now. I apologize for the wait, and I greatly appreciate your patience. I just really didn't want to take the risk of getting you, your families, or your fuzzy butts sick. Orders should be done in the next couple days. Please feel free to message me with any questions or concerns.

If anyone has nonprofit experience and is interested in reaching out to Austin Texas Sugar Glider Rescue , please do so. They are a great rescue, and it will most certainly be felt throughout Texas if they are forced to close down.

Hello my fellow geeks! It's been a while since I've posted. Things got very busy last month as we welcomed the newest addition of our Geeky family: Aidan Alastor Warkentin. We've since been trying to find our rhythm with a new baby for the last 4 weeks. I'll be slowly getting back into the swing of things over the next few weeks, so if it takes a little bit for me to get back to you, please be patient with me. We wish everyone the best, and we look forward to this new adventure!

What do you do when the sewing machine is in the repair shop, stopping production of extra e-jackets? You spend time making satellite e-collars! I was able to get a small stock of e-jackets premade before the sewing machine decided to act up, so there's no wait currently for EMS Kits. Visit www.GeekyGliders.com to get yours today.

FEEDBACK REQUEST

To all of our guinea pig, rabbit, chinchilla, hamster, rat, STO, reptile, and primate owners:

I am researching needed and requested items for expansion packs. I would love to hear what supplies you keep on hand, or wish you had on hand, in case of emergencies with these critters. Each species tends to have a few items that end up unique to them, so I want to make sure I'm not forgetting much needed items. Thank you for your suggestions in advance!

Happy Tuesday, everybody!

First, thank you to all of you who supported our IndieGoGo campaign! I'm working on fulfilling those orders as quickly as possible. Second, I've become aware that a few people tried to contribute, but for some reason the IndieGoGo platform wouldn't allow you to do so. I apologize for that. I am not sure what was causing these failures, and after reaching out to IndieGoGo, I'm finding that they won't tell me either. The good news is the EMS Kits are now available on my website, which you'll find a direct link to below. If you're located within the Vancouver, WA, or Portland, OR, area, there is an additional option for local dropoff. Please message me to arrange where to pickup/dropoff.

If you’ve ever owned an exotic pet, you know one thing is for sure: proper exotic care gets pricey. Whether it’s the initial price of your beloved exotic pets, housing setups, appropriate diets, or veterinary care, costs easily add up, and sometimes exceed thousands of dollars.

Introducing Percy (short for Persephone).

Percy is dedicated to a beloved young joey who unfortunately succumbed to dehydration at less than 10 days old. So why is Percy on the team? Because Percy taught us a valuable lesson: You always need to be prepared for possible dehydration.

Although Percy was less than 10 days old and approximately 15 grams in weight, she could have potentially been saved if her mother's hidden mastitis had been visible and had we been skilled enough to give her subcutaneous fluids. Her mother, Rowena, is a sugar glider whose infected, swollen teat was hidden within her pouch, preventing her from properly nursing Percy. After being gone for 4 hours running errands, we came home to find Percy cold and clinging to life. Because of the time of day, an emergency exotic vet visit was out of the question, leaving us scrambling to give any life-saving measures we could. Had we been more prepared, we may have had a different outcome. Please don't let this happen to you and your beloved pets.

Supplies we needed from the EMS Kit that we didn't have:

- Hot Hands to help warm her up
- Fleece blankets to help warm her up
- Insulin syringes for subcutaneous injections
- Alcohol wipes to prep for subcutaneous injections
- Honey stix to add to her formula to help supplement feed her
- Needleless syringes to supplement feed her
- Teat infusion cannulas to assist in feeding her and giving her oral medication
- Cotton swabs to stimulate her after feedings

Please talk to your vet about learning how to give subcutaneous injections as well as obtaining either sterile saline solution or lactated ringer solution for emergencies.
