Using an Inhalation Chamber for Medications

Introduce the mask slowly:
For the first few times, simply hold the mask on your cat’s nose for a few breaths, then reward them with treats to create a positive association.

Administering the medication:

• Step 1: Attach the inhaler to the chamber.
• Step 2: Puff the medication into the chamber (one puff at a time).
• Step 3: Place the mask over your cat’s nose and hold it in place for 5-7 breaths. You can count the breaths by watching the green valve in the chamber move as your cat inhales and exhales.

Dosage tips:
If your cat needs two puffs, don’t puff both into the chamber at once. Administer each puff separately to make sure your cat gets the full dose.

Finishing up:
After the medication, reward your cat with treats or a positive experience. Wipe your cat’s face to remove any leftover medication from the mask. This helps prevent skin irritation around their nose.

Cleaning the chamber:
Follow the cleaning instructions that come with your chamber. Generally, you’ll need to wash it with warm, soapy water and let it dry upright.

Be patient:
Over time, with a bit of practice and patience, most cats will tolerate this treatment well.
