You can cover a kennel with plastic and leave a vent in the back and put the oxygen tube at the front. But I have to caution you that it is risky doing this at home without proper equipment and monitoring due to the risk of carbon monoxide not releasing properly. You turn the oxygen up all the way. You should also have a way to humidify the oxygen, such as putting the tubing in a bowl of water. It should only be used short-term while waiting for medications to remove fluid from the lungs.
