I can't remember who it was, but someone rigged a carrier so that there
was very little ventilation and funneled the oxygen into it with the cat
inside. Nothing was inserted into their nose as far as I can remember.
I've looked for the old email and can't find it.
I just went to search the archives and I did find this from Gloria,
(sorry Gloria, I should have known it was you, TC, or Patti!). Anyway
here's what Gloria wrote about making her own oxygen cage:
I have a carrier that was converted into an oxygen cage/carrier by a
friend's husband - he's an engineering type. I got it from her, just
in case, before my Cala died. If you're ever interested, I'll be glad
to share the carrier (I'm in Arkansas).
My friends used it for her kitty, and then she loaned the carrier to
me. The problem is getting a vet to prescribe the O2 tank that
connects to the carrier -they think you're crazy... and of course
you'd need to be home with him. Think the O2 tanks are rented on a
monthly fee....?
People have O2 at home all the time - too bad it's not done more for
cats and dogs that want to be home.
