Hello, Mimi has been diagnosed with bronchitis and asthma 3-4 years ago. She had episodes of acute attacks a few times in the last two years and needed emergency attention. We administer seretide inhaler once to twice a day ever since. Her condition has gotten progressively worst although we do have very good days and she has a stable quality of life. She's extremely sweet. She had an attack last night and we brought her in, and she's been in the oxygen chamber for the past 48 hours together with all the test procedures. We were supposed to bring her home today but she could have panicked and her nose turned purple off the oxygen chamber and the doctor put her back in. How would you recommend an oxygen tent for home use for her? Any advice will be much appreciated. Thank you in advance.

My cat was just diagnosed with 3rd degree AV block, and likely has congestive heart failure with pericardial effusion. She’s in an oxygen controlled cage and her respiratory rate is increased. What signs should I look out for to know she’s not comfortable anymore to guide me in the most difficult decision every per owner had to do?

My cat was just diagnosed with rather severe anemia. He is 10 years old and only 9 lbs. He has lost appetite, just sleeps, has a heart murmur - all just 2 months after he had surgery on his leg for a lump which was not cancerous. It is severe not moderate. He has seen his Vet Would something like liquid oxygen drops help him? How do you dose cats? Thank you.

My baby (2yo) has just recently been diagnosed with dilated cardiomyopathy. She started a couple heart meds yesterday, but her breathing is just so horrible that it makes me so sad to watch. I've been doing albuterol tx thru a nebulizer for about the last week, 2 to 3 times a day with what I would call very minimal results. However after clapping on her lung area after produce a fairly non productive cough. But only while I'm patting her. I'm just wondering if some sort of oxygen therapy might be in order for her for comfort measures as It just makes me so sad to watch her severely labored breathing. She still has a really good appetite. I just don't know where to go from here. Of courseI'd like a cure. But feel that's probably out of the question. So anything you can suggest to keep her comfortable. I refuse to let or make her suffer. So when I feel we're at that point, there will definitely be an extremely difficult decision to make. Right now. It's all about comfort! Thank you so very much in advance!

My cat was diagnosed with HCM at age 17months (yes, 1 year and 5 months old). We’re four months out from his diagnosis and recently bought an oxygen chamber from shopmedvet.com. We also bought an oxygen concentrator by Devilbiss from a local medical supply store. We did need a script for the O2 concentrator from the vet. Our reasoning was like many others: quality of life and a non stressful environment of care. We’ve used it defensively when we see his resting respiratory rate increase. We put him in there before bed or during his nap time (which is several hours a day for our cats). Normally 20-30 minutes or an hour has been sufficient. Today however he’s been in there for 3.5 hours (still sleeping) so it just depends. Both our regular vet and his cardiologist felt it was a good idea to offer home oxygen therapy.

Hi, my 4 year old rescue has severe asthma. His right lung collapsed due to we believe someone hurting him. He takes two puffs of steroid inhaler twice a day and two puffs of Ventolin once a day. He is also on a low dose of Prednisone every day. I would like to get an oxygen cage for him to help with bad attacks. What is the best one to get? Thank you

Curious if supplemental oxygen therapy would help an anemic cat who is not eating? Very anemic, 5 month old kitten who is not eating and rapidly losing weight. No diseases diagnosed, they don't know what is causing it. She has 3 brothers/sisters who are all healthy.

Mochi was diagnosed with Cardiomyopathy in 2011 and in 2017 with CKD. Due to his heart condition he's had episodes of rapid breathing/difficulty breathing and went in Congestive Heart Failure on more than one occasion, was hospitalized and given oxygen therapy and lasix shots while there. We were living in Honolulu, HI and moved here to Vegas not too long after he was diagnosed w/CKD. I've spent well over $13,000 in vet/ER care and can no longer afford the high cost of oxygen therapy at the vets. I know with Mochi's heart condition he will require oxygen therapy in the future and since i cannot afford to have it done at the vets, my only other option aside from euthanasia (which would only be an option for me when i feel like his quality of life was no longer good) would be to do the oxygen therapy at home like how i used to back in Hawaii. Thanks to his awesome vet who was more than understanding of hundreds and thousands of dollars at the drop of dime when i could be doing it in the comfort of Mochi's home where he'd be more comfortable and less stressed. I've tried to ask the vets here if they could give me a prescription for an oxygen tank and they refused to help me. What would they refuse to do this? All i want to do is to be able to make Mochi as comfortable as possible and at least if he received oxygen therapy at home i can be there with him when it does get to his "time". Is there some kind of law in Nevada about writing prescriptions for oxygen, i had no problem obtaining it from his vet back in Hawaii???
