Hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) is a cutting-edge treatment now available at our Zen Den location in Lancaster, CA. Originally developed for human medicine, HBOT is increasingly used in veterinary care to accelerate healing, reduce inflammation, and support recovery from a wide range of conditions.
What is Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy
Hyperbaric oxygen therapy involves placing your pet in a pressurized chamber where oxygen levels are significantly elevated. This allows oxygen to dissolve more deeply into the bloodstream and tissues, enhancing the body’s natural healing processes.
How It Works
The pet is then placed in a pet chamber. They come supplied with liquid oxygen tanks and pressure tubes. That way you can monitor the pressure and oxygen being given. The pressure in the air chamber is generally more than normal. The pressure keeps on increasing and the treatment lasts for about 1 or 2 hours. After that decompression is also carried out. Your pet does not face any kind of pain. The treatment is carried out twice in a day for 5 to 10 days. If your pet shows signs of recovery earlier, the treatment may be discontinued.
