Great people to tag
I've also left a message with the vet about nebulizing them in case of infection in their sinuses or respiratory tracts and I'm waiting to hear back about that, but I wondered whether anyone had experience using a nebulizer with their birds. For example, what kind did you use? There are some rather affordable ones on Amazon but I am not sure if they are legitimate nebulizers. The vet mentioned a very good one that she could give us a prescription for, but it was at least $400. There's also the question of whether we can nebulize with F10 -- the vet mentioned that they have nebulized with F10 before in their clinic but she wanted to do some reading about it to be sure that it's safe. I feel like I have read both that it is safe and that it is unsafe, so I'm not sure.
By the way, thank you....... sincerely....... for all of the advice that you so freely give. You mean the world to us Mary Lynn.Great news - sounds like you are getting that nasty stuff whipped.
Yes, I nebulized both of my birds with F10 - I was desperate when dealing with their Aspergillosis and saw that the Mideastern falconers used F10 regularly for treating Asper in their hawks. It did no good on my birds, but I used a very, very light solution.
As far as nebulizers go the Devilbus brand was approved by my vet and it has worked well. This is the one I have and it is $50 less than what I paid - but I bought mine at a drug store. Nebulizers work very well on respiratory issues. Hank and Jasper would not have made it without the nebulization. Devilbiss Pulmo-Aide Compressor Nebulizer System - Approved For TOBI
