Humidifiers - On Topic
Can anyone using a humidifier tell if their Masters benefit from the
moist air? I used one once when Lacey was very ill and stuffy. Because she was so snotty and drooley I put her in a room with a humidifier for several days. I don't know if the humidifier or the antibiotics or the chicken broth helped her the most. She has a bug again and is sneezing so violently that her nose is bleeding. I wonder if it has anything to do with the colder weather requiring us to turn the heat up in the house. I don't notice increased static in the house but we're thinking about buying a new humidifier to see if that will help. Of course she'll be going to the vet as soon as they can take her but if moist air will help her (an not cause Sam's asthma to flair) then we'll add a humidifier to the mix. TIA, Julie and Lacey |

TIA, Julie and Lacey Shortly after I got Nanki-Poo (RB), he was very ill. I kept him in one room so he wouldn't infect Lindy. I found that a humidifier in that room helped immensely. I got one of the cool kind. I forget what they are called, but there are two kinds of humidifiers. One uses steam and gets quite hot. The other produces steam, but stays cool, at least on the outside. The latter is much safer, especially in a room with a cat. Joy |

TIA, Julie and Lacey It even helps a dog or cat with a stuffy nose to put them in a steamy bathroom for a while. Kind of like you do a baby that is stuffed up and can't breathe. (Or yourself for that matter) So I'm quite sure a vaporizer or humidifier would help if dry air is part of the problem. Jo |

Joy We bought a cold mist humidifier this evening. I checked the Good Housekeeping website for reviews and read that the warm mist is dangerous in households with small children. We live with a Rosco and believe me, Rosco is much more likely to get into any kind of trouble than a small child! I'm hoping that the humidifier will help Lacey with her nose bleeds. I'm sure it won't hurt. Thanks for your advice. Julie |

I use a cool mist humidifer and I think it helps the cats. I know I feel
better with moisture in the air. Our houses get dry with the heat on. -- Ann in Connecticut see my cats at http://www.flickr.com/photos/ann791/sets/ read Sam's blog at http://kittens-3.blogspot.com/ * * * "GaDragonfly" wrote in message ...

Can't say if it helps with their breathing, but they certainly approve. Without the humidifier, static electricity is a big problem when I stroke them, and Emily has a permanent case of "bed hair" :-) -- Nik Simpson |
