No, just someone who had to nurse a very ill cat (hopefully) back to good health..... seizures/feeding tubes/$400 per month meds...... BTW, Kami tunred Sweet Sixteen last weekend. Forgot to make the announcement. Happy bday, Kami! Linda |

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? Our six year old cat was diagnosed with mild asthma last year. Because long term use of prednisone can cause health problems (and weight gain, which our cat certainly did not need), our vet prescribed an inhaled coristeroid, Flovent. It's used with the Aerokat inhaler. Since you have already been given the link to the yahoo group on feline asthma, you will probably read more about using inhaled medication there. If you are interested, there is a separate yahoo group for inhaled medication for cats with asthma, http://groups.yahoo.com/group/felineasthma_inhaledmeds/ Inhaled medications for asthma treatment do not have the negative side effects of long term treatment with oral medications. |
