Yes I have a client on oxygen and his breathing is much worse when it’s hot and humid. The sister usually keeps the temperature at 72 but could be lowered to whatever helps. Good idea Ron.
Henri, you are dealing with an awful lot...having watched both my Father and one of our sons deal with severe depression that at times required time in the hospital I know how hard depression makes it to function...and you add PTSD to that and it must at times seems impossible. I hope you can find a way not to feel guilty...none of what life has and is handling you is your fault and much of what life hands us we can't change. Donovan knows you love him and in the overall picture for Donovan that is all that matters. Many hugs to you and your precious boy and I hope cooler weather will give Donovan comfort and extra time.
that is the principle behind those little portable air conditioners that you can buy these days. doubt it could cool a whole room but someone sitting next to it......
Gloria...that looks really good, but unfortunately it is expensive to get the equipment. I googled for prices and the in home machines seem to start at $299 and some go as high as almost a thousand dollars. For many the only way they could afford to get a machine is if they could rent one from their vet...if their vet had them to rent out. But no harm in asking a vet just in case this is a service they would provide when a pet is too stressed to be brought into the vet's. Just out of interest I am going to ask our vet hospital if they do carry a couple of these units to rent out for in home oxygen therapy. Thanks for posting this video and info.
I wonder if you had pet insurance if it would cover the cost.
