PART 3 of 3:
After the nebulizer treatment, I open the lid and will see the nostrils look like they need to blow. How can I get them to blow there nose. I tried using a sringe (without the needle) to suck the snot out, but it really didn't do much. So I took the mouthpiece that I removed from the nebulizer, used electrical tape to form a small hole about the size of a straw, and then used more electrical tape to attach it to a half-sized shop vaccuum. I 1st tried it on myself to make sure I wasn't going to suck the lungs out of my boas, and it acted alot like the suction that's used in your mouth at the dentist . I hold her head, and place it up to each nostril. At 1st when she was in bad shape, you could see and hear lots of stuff coming out, now there's almost no need for it. Here's a pic.
I'm not good at putting long essays down, and having them be perfectly clear, and understandable, so I hope this makes sense to you guys and gals. I've been very happy with the obvious results that I've seen here. You can rent a nebulizer here for a month at a time from a medical supply store for $30/month (a dollar a day). I'm probably going to buy one now. Oh, I bought the whole bottle of medicine and they mixed it with saline to create a liters worth. I haven't even used 1/4 of that. Take care all, to yourselves, and your great, wonderful Boas.
