Can the VibraVM be used as a either an adjunct or primary treatment?
Yes, the VibraVM can be used for both. It can be used as an adjunct therapy along with environmental changes or other medications recommended by your veterinarian. It can also be used as a primary therapy, especially for long term chronic conditions. For heaves or RAO/COPD, asthma, hay or dust emphysema, the VibraVM is an excellent stand alone or primary therapy. An animal can be weaned off of other medications, particularly steroids, with regular use of the VibraVM. Please see our Use Protocols for details on protocols for clearing out the lungs, and moving to a maintenance schedule. Use of the VibraVM is also possible for acute conditions, if caught very early. One or two treatments a day should be given, choosing the Low setting for upper respiratory conditions such as bronchitis, and Low first, then High mode for lower respiratory conditions such as pneumonia. For small dog and for cats, use only High mode for either upper or lower respiratory conditions. See the Pneumonia question
