For those of you with ferrets with chronic lung problems, asthma,
allergies, harsh coughing, difficulty breathing-----I am going to be
putting Chewie on a nebulizer every day for 15 minutes. He just cant
breathe well from the damage to his lungs and needs some assistance. So
I am trying out a PulmoAide Compressor recommended by allergists and
pediatricians nationwide. It is $95.00, recommended by one of the many
vets I go to to try and keep these ferts alive.. The company just sent out
five of these Pulmo-Aide Compressors to a zoo to help 5 orangatangs. Their
phone number---- no , not the orangatangs- is: 1-800-621-5545. They will
ship. They are located in Morton Grove, Il. Tell them you have a ferret.
You will want to put fert in small carrier, place plastic bag around
carrier, and release this moist air to fert in carrier for 15 minutes a
day. I am going to try holding Chewie and see if I can get him enough
moisture in lungs without plastic bag and carrier. I purchased a different
mouthpiece than comes with this unit E mail me if you want to try this.
Ill let you know how I like it.
This is totally experimental as far as I am concerned, but if anyone out
there is as desperate as I am, you might want to try this. Chewie is just
a baby. He was housed in cedar and allowed to remain ill and in the cedar
at PETCO without care. He has been rushed to vets office 7 or 8 times now.
I am hoping this will help his poor damaged little lungs.
Your low maintenance pet owner, Lisette
