: : If I charge a client I would want to have treated the animal to the best of my ability with whatever budget the client has available and is prepared to pay. Some clients (? most) would presumably like to see the agent eliminated - not stuff squirted up nostrils that we know doesnt really work. Thats why they bother coming to our clinic. They would be pretty "pissed" with me if I falsely pretended that stuff up the nose is good value for money. It might be the best available and most practical in some cases. I though you guys would want the best for sick chelonians... why settle for second best and ignore that better exists? My approach isnt expensive! Unless you only want to spend $10 to treat a $400 sick tortoise that is dreadfully rare.

: At least your truthful, more money equals better care. You failed to point out the risks associated with other forms of treatment, I assume this wasn't purposeful.

: Secondly, not once have you asked how the flushes are performed, you simply assume that you know. I never said anything about squirting flush up the nose, now did I, and there the answer lies.

I'm only iterested becos a nasal flush sounds to be like Squirting fluid up the nose openings.
