Dazza this is great news for all keepers of northafrican spurthighed they really can be prone to it and last time i moved house it reared its ugly head i dont enjoy injections so this is a great sounding alternative should i ever get problems in the future in fact dependant on cost it could be well worth keeping one to hand better to nip things in the bud with rns.

Sorry to say, but I would never use F10 on an animal of mine. The one thing that screams at me from that article is "The exact formula remains a commercial secret" If I don't know exactly what I'm giving an animal and in what concentration, I would never feel safe giving it. You never know what will happen down the line, say in a year or 5 years, as it was never made to be inhaled.

Just my opinion,

Danny

Fair comments Dan - but it is becoming more and more common to use this in the treatment of upper repository problems, is'nt somethnig i or anyone else has thought i know lets try this, it has come from vet - my vet is a fan of it so i would imagine somewhere along the line its been trialed within vet circles and tested out ok !!

For this old girl baytrail hasn't worked so i am game for trying anything !!
