Thanks, she is much improved, I don't think I would do the flushing again, because it's quite difficult to do, and the nebulising is easy and effective .

I don't know enough about tortoise stomach, but a human's would kill most of the bugs because of the acid.

All micro-organisms thrive in different environments ie damp, dry. So the ones that cause problems in the respiratory tract like it there.

That's really interesting, thanks.

Sorry to hear you are unwell, just as weather improving and hoping winter is over.

My dad used to swear by menthol in boiling water in a bowl, head over the top covered with a towel so that all the steam could be inhaled. So, just like a gentle flushing or more like a home made nebulised,

I must say I prefer Karvol (?) capsules - couldn't stand the heat!
