I can't comment on the F10, but I'd be REALLY hesitant to go back to a vet who recommends that OR a bronchodilator to treat a respiratory infection. It might alleviate some inflammation, but it's going to do absolutely nothing to an infection. Combined with an antibiotic/antibacterial agent it might have an effect, but reptile endocrine systems are different enough that I would SERIOUSLY question giving an adrenergic stimulant like albuterol without a ton of research to back it up.
