Thank you for sharing this with viewers who have cats that have feline asthma. My cat who's now 13 have her flare up moments every month now. I have a hard time trying to get her to the vet to get injection shots that could lead to diabetes which I hope won't happen. I was thinking about an inhaler but didn't know if that was possible. My cat's so finicky that I can't even give her liquid meds. If I have to take this route I'm gonna need some tactical equipment to keep her still, lol!
Well I think you should really consult your vet about that, since I'm not a doctor.
I can tell you from my personal experience that Emerald began experiencing her asthma around 2003, but we did not treat it regularly until about 2007. She was extremely difficult at first, but the asthma became more pronounced and necessitated treatment. She's now 17 years old, still active and healthy, but I attribute a lot of that to the treatment. It's definitely been beneficial for her.
What if Feline Asthma is left untreated? My female cats has had asthma for about two years. Just recently I've noticed that she seems more tired all the time. Also, she tends to have more attacks when I pick her up or if she starts purring. Is an inhaler really necessary.
@saveusrecycle If feline ashtma is left untreated, the next coughing attack could cause your cat to suffocate and stop breathing. Some cats die of asthma this way; some are rushed to the hospital after they have turned blue. Do you know what asthma is? If you had it, you wouldn't let your kitty suffer. Your kitty cannot breathe comfortably and her lungs hurt probably all the time. It isn't just when she coughs that she suffers. You need to help her.
Wow. I never knew cats used spacers like we do essentially. Poor thing.
