Re: how to make oxgen tent for cats

[Tad Burnett]

I have never used it myself.. Just seen it being used... Both with people and animals at the vets... Basically normal air contains only about 16 % oxygen so just a very small amount flowing in the direction of the breathing will help... The covering is just to keep a draft from blowing it all away but you need some air flow to carry off the CO2 that is exhaled... Health wise you probably can't add too much so long as the animal remains quiet but there is an increasing fire risk if too much oxygen is used.. DON'T SMOKE around it...

I am not sure if it needs to be covered in a particular way, though. Michelle   In a message dated 9/10/2006 1:40:56 P.M.
