Use it a lot - they are very useful for respiratory problems in a wide range of species. I have used ours in every bird from a budgie upwards, reptiles, rabbits & rodents. Much more "bang for your buck" than some other toys.

[/quote]Good "bang for your buck" with this one. Like a smoke machine compared to other nebulisers that I have seen!

We will mainly nebulising F10, saline, bisolvon and Baytril as we have experience with these.

Has anyone got strong opinions/advice about what one should be nebulising, not nebulising and the associated doses?

Anyone use albuterol?

Pleased with the nebuliser in storage box. Works very well.

I think you mean Cromovet. I used to use it via a nebuliser for my own COPD horse when we had to stay overnight in dusty showground stables. It was supposed to give several days' protection after use. I think it is still available, but not sure who makes it.

[quote user="Mark Rowland"]Actually Michael there's something you could help me with. Years ago I started using a liquid equine supplement that was about the consistency of veg oil and had a really strong smell of eucalyptus. Is it still made and do you know the name as I cannot remember. It was marketed to use alongside ventipulmin for resp cases.? Any ideas

Not much of a horse vet, I'm afraid. Few on here though - Wren springs to mind,

I don't the equine one but I used one that is designed for chicken, it is really like Vicks for chicken.

It's called Mintamix and manufactured by Chicken Vet, liquid that can be put in the drinking water.

Storage boxes of appropriate size with holes cut in to attach the nozzle. They steam up really well and are well tolerated.

How are you getting it 'into the animal'?

Any good for cat flu cases?

Yes, Ive used them for just this purpose. I nebulise in hypertonic saline, it really breaks down the mucus well and these kittens feel much better afterwards

Evergreen have been good for spares in the past. Cheap and quick delivery.

Thanks all

Going for this one, £55 here delivered so seems pretty reasonable.

Hi Glenn,

I second Catherines comments, we have several of the nebulisers in her link, I use them both in house and rented to clients.

Apart from lending them your ICU with the nebuliser attachment and a means of getting air/O2 under pressure into it, assuming you're treating respiratory disease, I'm thinking along the lines of a combination of AeroKat/AeroDawg inhalers for inhaled medication, a cat basket next to a bowl of steaming water for a cat/small dog or the shower/bathroom with a good fug up for larger dogs. I'm struggling to see the practicalities of anything else and what conditions you would envisage treating for the long term.

Hi Martin,

We would use mainly for rats/g.pigs. One of these types > http://evergreen-nebulizers.co.uk/mains/mains_omron.html?gclid=CKrhrpfPwrUCFZTHtAodNQ8AcA

Looking for one that would allow us to nebulise F10, 'roids etc.

Thanks for the input so far.

I just went down to our friendly, local pharmacy and spoke to the pharmacist. We got a simple portable nebuliser for about £50 and put in the attachment that gives the smallest particle size. We do get a deposit for it when we lend them out but haven't had a problem yet. I think we have three currently.

I looked into this a while ago and found this one which looked quite good:

I know that for nebulising birds it's important that the particle size it creates is small enough and this one seemed to fit in with that. Not sure what particle size or requirements you might need if it's for dogs and cats though.
