483.0. "Nebulization?" by SUPER::EBERT () Mon Jan 21 1991 15:16


	Does anyone out there - in the southern NH/MA area own a 
nebulizer that they would be willing to lend/rent? I have a Red-Lored 
Amazon that has a respiratory problem. Working with Dr. Kilgore at 
Littleton Animal Hsp., I've tried oral antibiotic, which has helped some 
, but not a cure ...
	There's a article in this month's Bird Talk that covers the 
illness of a African Gray. A nebulizer was used with success. 
	Any experiences, comments from other noters?

	Thanks,

	Dave

    Dave, I've heard these can be rented from hospital/medical supply
    houses for a reasonable fee.  The medication you need to use costs
    a lot.  Dr. Kilgore can give you the details.  It means using a
    hypodermic needle to puncture the capsule of medicine, which has
    a very short shelf life.  Meds, through prescription from a vet,
    can be gotten at CVS and many other pharmacies, usually the same
    day or very quickly.  Good luck.........call me if you want to
    talk more about this  603-595-9429.  /Linda
