Buffy has just been diagnosed with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease by Australia's leading Veterinary Radiologist. She has a severely damaged right lung, and her left lung is showing a lot of spots. She is on meds & nebuliser 2 x day, expected to have the nebuliser treatment for the rest of her life. She has lost a third of her bodyweight due to pain and taking so much energy just to breath. 
This is my home made oxygen/nebuliser tank, and it is working well.
It is a fish tank 10 x 20", with a ply wood lid, with holes drilled in the top timber to let some of the mist out.
I made a wire mesh lid for a plastic mesh basket, threaded elastic thru the middle to hold the nebuliser bowl upright, and covered the top of the air tube with a bit of garden hose. This has kept the bowl & tube away from little teeth. Then hang the basket on the side wall.
Added a nice warm lambswool, and a blankie.
