Sidney using his AeroDawg

"...our pet dog called Sidney has chronic bronchitis. Prior to this, we had given Sidney steroid tablets and other medicines but after time failed to help him after being on them, but after only the first time in using the aerosol chamber we have seen the difference in Sidney, ie hardly any coughing at all, and not bringing up any mucus residue. I know that this is early days but we feel that this device has really worked for Sidney and we wanted to share that information with you. Thank you."

"Hi

I have just used the AeroDawg inhaler on my sheltie for the first time ever and thought I would let everyone know how amazing it is. Tazi has chronic bronchitis and we have tried everything under the sun to try and ease the symptoms of her coughing.  She is now soundly sleeping with improved breathing.  If she does cough it is very short lived without  the characteristic moist hacking as of late.....  Well done AeroDawg for this fantastic invention - I'm sure my vet will be advising this in future as we are the first ones in this area"

"On 11th January 2005 you provided an AeroDawg aerosol chamber for use with my Springer Spaniel.  Below I give a brief outline of the clinical condition of the dog, as reported to me, the treatment up to January 2004, and the subsequent progress after the introduction of an inhalant using the chamber.

In August 2003 the dog was referred to The Royal Veterinary College at Potters Bar. He had a history of bouts of coughing which were often prolonged and distressing.

The initial diagnosis suggested that it was possible that Bailey suffered from eosinophilic pulmonary granulomatosis or an idiopathic form of vasculitis. After an initial period of antibiotics he was given an aggressive immunosuppressive treatment with steroids.

After a approximately eight weeks Bailey returned to the Veterinary College for assessment. The initial diagnosis was confirmed and a further aggressive immunosuppressive treatment with steroids was recommended. It was suggested that the only effective way to resolve the problem was through a lobectomy.  I was very reluctant to follow this course of action and asked that we treat the condition through medication.

Our veterinary practitioner discussed the problems of long-term use of non-targeted steroids with me and introduced the possibility of using an inhaler to specifically target the lung and associated bronchi.

At present Bailey’s medication consists of 25mg Azathioprine per day and 2.5Mg Prednicare (steroids) every 48 hours with 100 microgams Becotide delivered through the aerosol chamber twice daily.  We have maintained a daily record of Bailey’s progress since November 2003 and this indicates a reduction in the number of coughing bouts to the point where there are weeks when he has none.

It is my belief that the aerosol chamber and the subsequent ability to use an inhalant has provided a targeted delivery of drugs and thus lessened considerably the long-term dangers of steroids.  Also it has brought a marked improvement in the dog’s condition.  Bailey is a typically active three-year old English Springer Spaniel.

Yours sincerely
