Sorry if that's spelt wrong :) My pig has been suffering with repeated URI's now for well over a year. My vet and I discussed the possibility of a nebuliser to act as a preventative. Does anyone have any experience with using these that could maybe share how they use/find them as a preventative?

Thank you :)

Ive used nebulisers a lot especially at my old job where i used to nebulise a lot of birds/reptiles. It can act very well with helping with respiratory problems and infections. I would recommend using F10 (properly diluted) in the nebuliser as this seems to help. I would discuss with your vet about where to get one from as they are quite pricey. I used to work for someone who would hire them out to bird etc owners at a small cost. I'm sure you have, but make sure you explore all other avenues as well, ensure that you havent just treated with Baytril, tried Zithro-max, possibly even taken a swab for culture. This way you will know that if there is an underlying problem you have treated it with everything possible etc.

Good luck
