The medications or oils that work at the alveolar level have to be small enough to "go into action". Thus, the flexineb is great for that application. As is the MPTS 360. I'm not sure what size you get with the Equi-resp. Hopefully someone with the company can come on and say. Treating your horse with the proper meds and oils will help a bleeder. The underlying inflammation and infections need to be taken care of so that your horse can run its heart out for you. I have the old ERA mask and Big Dee's mask I use them with my old school nebulizer motor and tubing. I use them a lot at home. On the road the Flexineb is so very easy to deal with. I can put it on walk my horse for 5 min and get the oils I need in him for his bleeding. Thankful that he's responding to them and working well. You can clean it easy enough by a drop of soap and distilled water in the chamber and some wipes on the mask.

Extreme Veteran Posts: 399	Has anyone used distilled white vinegar to clean these nebulizer with? Just currious, we used a 10% acetic acid (distilled white vinegar) solution to clean equine anesthesia machines. Soap has a low residue to it that would potentially cause build-up and be a small breeding ground for bacteria and fungus.

Veteran Posts: 242	I have a equi resp and I'm no expert but I think the biggest difference with the PSI is the amount of time to takes to do a treatment.
