Veterinary HBOT gained
popularity in the veterinary field, large animal hyperbaric chambers were
developed and placed in many veterinary practices, rehabilitation facilities,
and educational institutions in multiple countries.
Veterinary HBOT is now routinely used to treat swelling, trauma, non-healing wounds, and other ailments in animals including dogs, cats, ferrets, rabbits, and horses.

The use of hyperbaric oxygen therapy as
an exciting adjunctive therapy has provided veterinarians with another option
to significantly improve animal medical care, and has been used in the
treatment of multiple conditions in the past decade.
Treatment in the hyperbaric oxygen
chamber increases pressure around the patient and causes the body to dissolve
more oxygen into the blood, plasma and other body fluids. Higher amount of
oxygen reaches the tissues where the blood supply is compromised, thus,
improving and speeding up the healing process.”
During veterinary hyperbaric oxygen
therapy the patient is placed safely and comfortably in a hyperbaric chamber
designed specifically for small animals. At a maximum of 2 Atmospheric Pressure
(ATA), and closely monitored by trained staff, 100 percent pure oxygen
treatments are given.
The VHBOT chamber is
designed and built specifically for veterinary use, has proved to be effective
for nonhealing wounds, burns, deep tissue infections, bone infections,
decubital ulcers, vasculitis, and postsurgical recovery.
Treatments may last from 60 – 75 minutes, depending on the prescribed therapy. The total number of treatments
necessary varies according to the type of treatment and the patient’s response.
Most patients appear calm and relaxed during hyperbaric oxygen therapy. Many
even fall asleep.
According to publicly available medical
literature, hyperbaric oxygen therapy results in reduction in swelling,
stimulation of new blood vessel formation into the healing/swollen tissue, a
reduction in pressure caused by head or spinal cord injuries, improved would
healing, and improved infection control.
Veterinary Hyperbaric oxygen therapy
often called VHBOT can be of great help to veterinary patients by speeding up
the healing process and may reduce or eliminate the need for more invasive
procedures such as surgery, oftentimes resulting in a net savings of time and
cost of treatment for pet owners.
