Hey Trem- Thanks for posting this. We have a pony with COPD, and I
think I will try using CS on her. Anyone else have any experience
with this?

Hi again Lisa,
Here's some additional info on nebulizing. The link to it is here

Dear Trudell Medical International,
Thank you very much for your gift of the AeroMask* Equine System (ES). We
have found it to be superior to any other mask that we have used. When we
paired with a recently donated ultrasonic aerosol nebulizer, it has provided
a valuable tool in treating the lower airways of horses.
Shortly after we received the mask, we had a tragic rash of intentional barn
fires in our area. Though many horses either died or were euthanatized as a
result, one horse was presented to us for treatment suffering form severe
smoke inhalation injury. Using the AeroMask* ES as part of our therapy, this
horse was saved and is now back in training. The most remarkable part of
this case was how well the mask was tolerated by the horse - he virtually
put it on himself when it was time for more medication.
We have since used it for bronchodilator challenges and it has performed
equally as well. The horses tolerate the mask without hesitation, and its
design allows for minimal leakage of air. We have started recommending the
AeroMask* ES to referring veterinarians, who express an interest in such a
product, as we have been very happy with its performance.
We feel that there is ample indication for the use of a mask and aerosol
nebulizer in foals and wenalins to treat respiratory disease. We encourage
you to design and build smaller versions of these masks as we feel that they
would be quite useful.
Congratulations on a fine product!
Sincerely,
Michael Davis, DVM

Subject: CS>Using Silver with Horses/nebulizing
Hi, I am new to the list. I have some questions about using CS with
horses.
I have a yearling gelding with some lung problems: he had Rhodococcus
infection (abscesses in lungs) and pneumonia as a 2 month old and was
treated. A vet I recently took him to for a second opinion (as he still
coughs) thinks he may still have some left over infection/abscesses in his
lungs from that time. I was giving him CS in his water for awhile (up to
a
cup/day) but didn't get the results I was looking for.
I was told that nebulizing it into his lungs would be much more effective
and that I could use a cool steaming machine instead of having to buy a
nebulizer? What is the best way for me to do this? How much do I need to
use? how long do I need to do it each time and how often? And for how
long?
How much for oral doses - I was told by a list member 10 cc/100 lbs?
Could someone point me in the right direction for making my own, it gets
really expensive buying it for horses! I buy 15-20 parts per million.
Thanks,
Lisa
