Re: Healing Upper Respiratory Infection With F10 Nebulization?
Yeah, I actually don't have a snake with an upper RI at the moment (Thank God :bow:) but I just wanted to get some input from more experienced folk about what did seem like a miracle treatment to me.
I thought it made sense since it could clear out bacteria from their lungs, but I also see the merit in sticking with a vet since it is relatively unresearched.
For the record, this is the F10 product I have, and it is the one I saw in the BHB vid that they use for nebulization:http://www.f10biocare.co.uk/sc.html

So im not so sold on just f-10 working just yet but the normal has only been on this treatment for three days now im going to give it four more days to make it a week then bring her to the vet if it doesnt show signs of getting better. Both of them are eating also so i think thats a good sign. I think the product is safe but effective i cant say...
Thanks for the personal anecdote. I would love it if you kept this thread updated about the treatment. It's nice to hear from someone who is actually doing it.

Do I think it's safe? Mixed feelings here, as my common sense tells me that inhaling a chemical that kills baddies probably isn't going to be good for sensitive lung tissue. There are several versions of F10 - are people making sure they're getting the one that's meant to be nebulized or grabbing and using any ol' one they see? I've also seen several stories online where this treatment has, in fact, KILLED their animals.
Do you have any links to those stories about F10 killing animals? That's crazy, and would totally counteract their claims.

Re: Healing Upper Respiratory Infection With F10 Nebulization?
For got to add the link i have posted above is for nebuliser with The F10 you talk of so in the uk this product is already available for the purpose you are discussing
My beardie has just eaten for first time in 5 days after his 2nd day of being nebulised he was previously on baytril 6 weeks ago which never completely cleared it and again on baytril 2 weeks ago which hasnt touched the problem the whole time eating very little now after not touching a thing in 5 days he has eaten a locust an hour after nebulising coincidence or not i dont know only time will tell!
I will be seeing specialist for first time next week no matter what the outcome! :)

No I don't believe there is any harm I am also sure it will help. I am just not sure it is a cure by itself either. I am glad to hear of the vet appointment. I just came back from the vet with my beardie.
Re: Healing Upper Respiratory Infection With F10 Nebulization?
Hi ,
Can i just ask a question, this Is the first time ive encountered an RI with a beardie and my local vet gave baytril oraly for 10 days 6 weeks ago and again for another 10 days 2 weeks ago which still hasnt touched it
So im seeing specialist next week 100 miles away could someone tell me what the likely treatment would be for example
1 injection?
Different oral med?
Baring in mind i cant travel 100 miles everyday back and forth
Thanks i know it is slightly off topic but help would be appreciated

Hi nebulising F10 worked for you?
If so what were your snake or lizards symptoms before using
Eg. Runny nose, bubbles from mouth, wheezing , coughing , mouth always open,
Crusty nose or mouth?
And how long did you use treatment? And was it f10 alone that you used?
Also how long before improvement occured?
Sorry so many questions but i think if it worked for you its only fair you share Your experience and tell us how severe or what stage of RI your pet was at!
Thanks
