In this webinar the panellists will discuss the main and divergent applications for F10 products in the herpetile veterinary field. F10 is non-corrosive and in view of its safety profile is ideal to use by fogging, for the control of air borne contagious infections, e.g. mycoplasma, herpesvirus, Aspergillus spp., Reptarenavirus, paramyxovirus, etc.. Taking this a step further, the products administered by nebulisation are licensed for the treatment of bacterial, fungal and viral infections (rhinitis, tracheitis, and pneumonia), on occasions used alone, in other situations used in combination with traditional systemic therapy, subsequent to culture and sensitivity testing. Dermal applications, F10 can be used for fungal or bacterial infections or subsequent to burns, bites, scratches or shedding problems.

Reptiles are the most common pet to be kept in bedrooms, thereby increasing the risk of zoonotic infection. Herps are also often kept in high concentrations in racks and other forms of confined accommodation in specific rooms. In both situations the control of contagious (often zoonotic) disease is essential, and readily achieved by fogging, ensuring that all surfaces are effectively decontaminated. F10’s safety and efficacy by fogging is second to none.
