Anyone's Cat Have Asthma?
My 9-month old spayed female has been diagnosed with asthma. She is being
treated with Brethine and prednisone, along with an ointment for an opportunistic eye infection. Has anyone had any experience with this ... or suggestions? Thanks, Gail |

Ike (RB) had asthma. When his coughing would get bad I would take him
to he vet for a prednisone shot. This would stop the coughing for three or four months. Ike was about 14 (?) when he disappeared. -MIKE |

Thank you Brandy and MIKE for your responses. This kitty (Lilith) was still
with her litter when the So. California fires overwhelmed the San Diego area and had to be treated for smoke inhalation, so I suppose that is probably the origin of her problem. I wonder if a HEPA filter would help? Gail |

Has anyone had any experience with this ... or suggestions? Thanks, Gail Gail, Yes, I have two cats with asthma. One gets Prednisolone (1/2 tab every other day), and the other gets Prednisone every third day, as well as Albuterol as needed. I would prefer they not have to be on the Pred, but it is better than the alternative, of having asthma and stressing their lungs and heart. Both are older cats and doing fine after several years of treatment. You mentioned a HEPA filter, and I think that's an excellent idea. You may be right about the fires being the cause of the asthma, but anything you can do to keep the environment clean would probably help. Best of luck to you and your baby. Ginger-lyn |
