Hello and thank you for contacting Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach. Yes, you can give him oxygen supplementation from an oxygen inhaler. It is a very good idea. If your Fuji has been on treatment for bronchitis for 10 days, and he is still struggling to breathe, he should really have his chest x-rayed. Please, talk to your vet about taking chest x-ray of Fuji to make sure there is nothing more serious going on. Typical bronchitis in a kitten should have got better by now.
