And you get lower concentrated baby/kids versions too. It is, just like phenylephrin, just another sympathomimeticum. I would be worried about longterm use though, after all it is constricting bloodflow and thereby nutrition and immunodefence of the nasal mucosa. But maybe patient compliance might self limit this problem anyway, just thinking how well they remember last years kennel cough vaccination!&nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>https://www.vetsurgeon.org/thread/137936?ContentTypeID=1Thu, 11 Jun 2015 17:46:52 GMT146601cc-3922-4be7-9974-7e1d4e45a66b:787bab8c-39c9-472e-9f4a-913d98d21b0cKay Varley<p>Hi Vicki, I was going to post about chronic hyperplastic rhinitis in dogs as I&#39;ve got 2 cases on the go and they seem to respond poorly to whatever I try (er piriton, antibiotics,steroids). I throw in bisolvon on the off chance but phenylephrine sounds promising.&nbsp; Has anyone come across anything else useful for these cases?&nbsp; Sorry for shameless hijacking of thread!</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>https://www.vetsurgeon.org/thread/137921?ContentTypeID=1Thu, 11 Jun 2015 17:14:15 GMT146601cc-3922-4be7-9974-7e1d4e45a66b:519ad714-2a00-495f-b6ea-3faae837f831Rob Loxley<p>Minims Phenyephrine HCl diluted in saline?</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>
