Guide to F10 nebulisation for RIs in reptiles

Found this very good DIYS guide on how to set up a nebulization chamber for a reptile who has an RI and thought it should be put up for all to see and follow .

Hello,

Thanks for the information. It has been starting to be used more here in the US now, too.

Good reads. Thanks for posting. It's hard to believe this stuff has been in play for over 10 years now. It seems like it's still relatively unknown (in the US anyway). I'm very curious to see it reach it's full potential of applications. It seems like a wonder drug but that in itself makes me a bit cautious/apprehensive. It seems to work very well for cleaning from what I've seen so far though, and I've heard good things about wound treatment and even YF treatment with it.

I've been using F10SC as a spray (diluted 1:150) for over 8 years, great for cleaning and making hygienic lizard tubs, vivs, and lizard furnature, and for sterilizing floors when lizards have accidents.

I've got the barrier ointment in the fridge and use the handwipes too.

F10sc nebulization:
Mix 4ml F10sc (NOT F10SCSA) in a litre of water (dilution ratio 1:250) and nebulize the reptile for approx 30 - 40 mins every day until the RI is cleared.
After nebulizing hold it head down and clean any mucus from the mouth with an ear-bud.

And

An absolutely critical consideration is that the reptile is kept in its preferred optimal temperature zone (POTZ) at all times but even more crucially during treatment. It is pointless administering antibiotics or indeed other medications if the animal is housed incorrectly

The preferred optimum temperature zone (POTZ) is 24-32ºC. ref https://exoticpetvetblog.wordpress.com/2015/12/30/respiratory-conditions-in-reptiles/
