Thankfully, the veterinary professionals at Westwood Regional Veterinary Hospital in Westwood, NJ, care for your pets as they would their own. We provide a range of animal rehabilitation care services, including veterinary hyperbaric oxygen therapy, to help beloved pets stay happy and healthy.
What Is Pet Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy?
With veterinary hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT), veterinarians use oxygen at a pressure that exceeds the pressure at sea level to help rehabilitate pets. The average atmospheric pressure at sea level is represented by one atmosphere absolute (ATA). Veterinary professionals performing hyperbaric oxygen therapy commonly treat animals with pressures between one and three ATA. This specialized therapy aims to increase the concentration of oxygen delivered to the animal’s tissues.
What Happens During Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy?
This treatment is designed to expose your pet to 100% oxygen under pressure, which helps increase their oxygen intake. Pet owners will be happy to hear this treatment is non-invasive and doesn’t require sedation or anesthesia.
The treatment requires the animal to be placed in a hyperbaric chamber, which looks like a large round clear acrylic tube. The animal will be kept inside the chamber for the length of the treatment, which can be around an hour. Your pet will get acclimated to its new surroundings and be monitored by a veterinary professional throughout the treatment. In most cases, several treatments will be suggested.
How Does Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy Help?
This therapeutic treatment helps improve the oxygen uptake of the glands, tissues, cells, organs, brain, and fluids in the body. This helps the body perform necessary functions that are vital for the animal’s recovery. Hyperbaric oxygen therapy is widely considered an effective option for helping animals with a wide range of concerns, including:
- Burn wounds
- Infections
- Pancreatitis
- Carbon monoxide poisoning
- Arthritis
- External wounds (especially those where there are concerns regarding blood supply)
- Smoke inhalation
- Trauma and swelling from surgical procedures and injuries
- Snake bites
- Sago palm poisoning
- Spinal cord injuries
- Obstructed or inflamed urethra
