I use my Omron nebulizer on my pet chickens and myself. Since the weather change, some of them have gotten raspy and sneezy, especially the ones treated more like housepets (meaning they are going inside and out and experiencing more of a change in temp than the all-outside ones). Anyway, I just hold them on my lap and get them calmed down by petting and talking to them. Then I put the Omron neb to their faces and let the mist, which is invisible unless you really look for it, blow on their faces. They sometimes take more in thru their mouths. Sometimes they are breathing thru their noses. If they move their heads, I just move the neb to try and keep a steady stream on them for a minute or two. Then stop and do it again in a few minutes. I do this a few times a day.
I noticed a big difference in one of my roosters. He was very raspy and his crow was not his usual cock a doodle do. He also had mucus in his eyes and was acting lethargic. After a day or two of treatment, he sounded much much better and his eyes were clearer. I've had hens react the same way. The hardest part of the whole thing was getting them to settle down in the beginning. After that, no problem. If you have trouble holding, petting and nebbing, maybe a friend could hold/direct the neb while you hold, stroke and talk to your pet. Hope this helps some.
