Abstract
Nebulization produces water droplets less than 5 micron in diameter that carry drugs into the lungs and air sacs. Addition of acetylcysteine to the saline vehicle aids penetration of mucous exudates. Effective dosages of drugs for nebulization in birds have not been established. Gentamicin has been used at 50-200 mg in 5-15 ml saline and kanamycin at 15-250 mg in 5-15 ml saline.
