Nebuliser?

[Jenova]

Hiya, I'm not really on any more as it's quite difficult now I've lost my buns. But I still have Grim's nebuliser and I'd like to give it away to someone who could use it to help their ill rabbit.
It's a little bit battered, my chinchillas managed to nibble the plastic cover of the power switch and the tube. It's still usable and I put a plaster on the tube at the end.

This is the nebuliser: http://www.amazon.co.uk/OMRON-COMPA...1422876941&sr=8-16&keywords=compair+nebuliser
This is the replacement tube if you wanted to buy one: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Omron-Air-T...qid=1422876968&sr=8-7&keywords=nebuliser+tube

It was bought for me by a lovely member of the forum when Grim was very ill and I'd like to pass it on to help someone else. At the moment I just have the attachment in the photo, but I can try and find the masks and stuff (they'll be in the house somewhere). I'd only ask for postage which I hope would be about £5 by courier, but again I could check. If it's a rescue asking, I'll pay for postage, but you'd have to wait until later in the month when I have money.

Please PM me if you can as I'll get an email. I'll try and remember to check this thread later!

Ok. I'm going to sound really ignorant here but is this the same as the ones that pump out steam?

 

[Jenova]

Yes it is.
I used saline solution from Boots in mine as well as any meds from the vets.

Ok. Can you use normal water or is it better to use a saline solution?

 

[Jenova]

You can use normal water, but I used saline for three reasons. 1. It's sterile. 2. It's not going to cause a build up of lime scale in the nebuliser (I live in a hard water area) and 3. The salt makes it a natural decongestant so it shifted the mucus better.
But normal water is still very good.

If you do use normal water it's best to use filtered for the limescale issue

I was hoping you had seen this VB.
Hello Jenova, I'm sorry that we don't see you as often now, but wanted you to know you have been greatly missed.
Such a kind thing you are doing. We think of you often and hope you are okay. xxxx

 

[Jenova]

Hello MimzMum! I'll PM you.
I've been asked for the nebuliser by a rescue so I'm going to post it to them.

Ah ******. Nevermind. Prefer them to have it anyway. Such a lovely thing to do in memory of Grim. He was much loved.

I was going to PM you the other day for some advice on nebulising but didn't want to bother you. I do hope you are well.
