Re: Oxygen tank - will this work - To Joe
A general thought based on my mother's major breathing problems.she does best when the humidity in the house is love (about 31%). She still needs humidity with the oxygen. Is it possible that lowering the humidity in your home would help? If you have men who will exclude any of God's creatures from the shelter of compassion and pity, you will have men who will deal likewise with their fellow man.

For a cat, your vet will probably prescribe a chamber with about 40% FiO2(fraction of inspired oxygen) -- .5 lpm usually provides that. Mostregulators are calibrated in .5 lpm increments. So you probably don't needan expensive pediatric regulator. In fact, the standard 8 lpm regulatorsare better than pediatric regulators because you can turn up the valve tobring FiO2 to 40% much more quickly- especially important in a crisissituation. For the humidifier, run a short piece of O2 tubing (or any 1/4"plastic tubing) to the intake port on the top of the bottle and attach the cannula to the side port.

Sure. Its very easy. Do I need presdcriptions from my vet? If so, what do I need prescriptions for? Probably for the oxygen. siz E O2 cylinder - does it come empty? If so where do I get oxygen filled? Do a search for oxygen suppliers in your area. You might be able to rent tanks - which includes refilling. However, in the long run, it might be cheaper to buy the tank and just pay for refills when you need them instead of paying monthly rental fees. OTOH, its better to have at least two tanks on hand so renting might better.. Before you buy a tank, see how much an oxygen supplier in your area charges for rentals including refills. If I added up all the things listed below, it totals to more than $175 - do I not need to buy everything on the list?

On the lid there is an O2 in port and O2 out port. Run the tubing from the regulator to the O2 in port, then run tubing from the O2 out port to the chamber. I can send you a picture of my set up if you like. Once you see a picture you'll understand how easy the whole thing is to set up. Joe
