Nebulising a horse

[stormox]

My horse has a build up of mucus in her airways and the vet has suggested using a nebuliser for a week or 2 to clear it as well as the antibiotics.
Has anyone nebulised a horse with a human nebuliser? How did you do it?
Many thanks..

Robin had the aservo equihaler after his antibiotics. It literally saved his life.

Some vets will rent you a nebuliser..

start without any drugs, just get them used to having the balloon thing over their nostrils. Polos are useful.

Only use the drugs when they are 100% with the equipment or you'll be spraying them into the air.

My little pony was horrendous with firstly the equihaler - but with a lot of mints we got there - and then we moved onto the aerohippo (sp?) and had to start again from scratch. Patience and bribery are my advice!

You need a baby inhaler. It's a long tube with a mask on the end. It's perfect to fit over one nostril and you just put your hand over the other nostril. It's v easy. Ask your vet, mine supplied mine, if I remember correctly.

Yes I think that is what vet was thinking of as she said to put hand over one nostril and treat the other one. Thanks everyone
