Lung wash

• Lung wash romeoharley Posted : 5/1/2006 10:27:04 AM Does anyone have any information or know anything about a "Lung Wash"? I'm not sure if that is the correct term but it is what the vet called it. The vet suggested this for Harley as he has had some breathing/coughing problems and the only thing that is currently working is a steroid shot.   Any information would be greatly appreciated.

• Lena (Penny Forever) Posted : 5/1/2006 8:43:58 PM It is called lung flush and you can buy it in the health food store. My son has asthma and I smoke so we both use it. It helps to cleanse the lungs and get rid of toxins. Before my son used it, he could not take deep breaths but since he has been taking it he no longer struggles to breath. If you google it, you will find lots of info on it. It is a liquid that you take once a day and it doesn't taste to bad, kinda like cold tea. Hope this helps. 0 LIKE Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.

• Katie M. Posted : 5/1/2006 8:54:27 PM That doesn't sound like something a vet would prescribe, does it?  The tracheal wash is a medical procedure recommended for dogs with allergic bronchial problems, partially as a diagnostic tool.  If the vet recommended it, I'd lean towards the idea of the medical procedure as being what he meant. 0 LIKE Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.

• Lena (Penny Forever) Posted : 5/1/2006 9:03:08 PM That all depends if the Dr. wants her to try a holistic approach. If it was a procedure that needed to be done by a vet, I imagine he would have stated it. 0 LIKE Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.
