My dog ate it...really

My dog ate my swift a few nights ago. I am not sure how he got to it. I now FEEL the benifits or rather lack of benifits of apap therapy. Headaches, etc. Feel like hell warmed over. Anyone else ever had a dog eat their mask?

You dog probably thought is was a chew toy that had your nice smells on it. A rather expensive chew toy though. Thank goodness a tennis ball was not eaten, as they are very dangerous and can cause severe intestinal damage to a dog.

Is your dog now sleeping better?

I think i'll move my gear further away from the dogs... oh say like the moon should do it.

I very nearly had that experience, when I got both my Swift and the Ultra Mirage nasal mask. Here's the story:

Even before I had this incident I religiously kept all my xPAP stuff stored away so that the dog couldn't get to it. Otherwise I'd have had your problem months ago.

I keep everything WELL AWAY from the dog. I think he turns into Hudini when I leave!

Since beginning CPAP just over 3 weeks ago, I have been leaving my bedroom door closed during the day. I don't want my dog or my cats thinking my equipment is for them to play with. So far, that is my solution.

I forgot to say that the dog and the cats are often loose in the house when I'm gone--that's when I leave the door closed. I usually round up the cats and put them in the utility room where their litter box and beds are. The dog has free run so I just close my door when I leave. Sorry your mask got ruined and that you will soon be back on CPAP and sleeping well.

I lost 2 masks to my puppy. It's so upsetting when that happens.

Two to one puppy? It's so unfair when that happens. What did you do for the other pup? .

Resmed is coming out with the new: Pup-pap chewable mask.

Now you and your best friend can be simpatico.

My dog has a Phd in sleep. He closes his eyes and he's out.

Meanwhile I close my eyes and it's like, ok - now what?

I'd like to know my dogs secret - the only problem is the bum kicks and runs in his sleep - I guess his REM circuit is a bit weak.

No bones about it,

Tom

HA: 300 (he got into the Merlot the same night he ate my mask)
S: All night NON STOP!!!
F: 100% flow ( F stands for fart or flatulence!)

Mask leakage: 100 lpm ( he ate the darn thing!)

Average pressuer 1000cm

He will not be coming near MY machine again! LOL!
