Tuesday getting a nebulizer treatment

Here is my cat Tuesday receiving her nebulizer treatment for her asthma. She started the nebulizer treatments Aug 2005. She is also on a Flovent inhaler everyday.
She takes her treatment like a pro! What a good little girl she is! Momma loves her!
April 2007 she was diagnosed with kidney failure, and April 2008 we started giving Sub-Q fluids at home to help her kidneys along. :-(

Please take a moment to rate and comment.

Wow she is so good! I'm going through hell trying to use the aerokat spacer on my cat and wanted to see if a nebulizer would be easier. A few questions if you wouldn't mind...:) Did you try the aerokat also? How long do you have to hold the nebulizer mask on? Are you giving her steroids in the nebulizer or just albuterol? Thank you for posting :)

@moxee33 Hi,

I haven't tried the Aerokat spacer, but I use something similar NebulAir chamber with Flovent for nasal swelling and only albuterol in the nebulizer. I mainly use the albuterol in her chamber. I use the nebulizer when she needs more help.

The only steroids that has been used on her is thru shots and each time she an awful reaction which set caused pancreatitis. So her vet won't give that to her again. SO it has been very difficult to treat her asthma.

@moxee33 In the video you responded to she would have the mask on any where from 8 to 10 mins depending on how high or low I ran the nebulizer. I don't have that one in the video any longer as it wore out, the one i currently use takes a lot longer cause it puts out much slower. I would have gotten the same one i had before but couldn't afford it.

Please feel free to ask more questions.

Tuesday is still with us but has gone down in health. On top of her asthma she is gets fluids for her CRF

Ok, I have to ask, Which is cheaper: all the medication for a cat with problems such as yours, or a new cat.

[nyissa64]

Probably a new cat, but I don't get rid of an animal because of cost. Now if she was in pain and it effected her quality of life I would put her down because I love her. I would never put her down just because it COST too much. She is like a child to me, I wouldn't put my child down if their health issues cost a lot.

Thanks for stopping by!

Aww, bless your furkids heart. And yours too! i am looking into doing this for one of mine. She had chronic bacterial sinitous.

[nyissa64]

Hi there!

Thank you very much!!

Is the chronic bacterial sinusitis a form of Sinus Infection?

Has she had this more than once? I know the Flovent was given to Tuesday to help reduce swelling in her nasal cavity.

Does your little one have to be on antibiotics a lot?

[CrazySack1989]

Would you rather kill an inocent animal, just because it is a "pet" that is like saying "lets kill the people with cancer cause they are suffering and dont have a chance.. We need more people who will actually take care of animals and give them a chance!

If I hadn't seen this with my own 2 eyes, I wouldn't have believed it. She's a good girl.

my cat had a treatment today and hasn't meowed since I picked him up at the vet. i'm worried that it traumatized him somehow, but he was so stuffed up I am hoping after a couple of treatments he will get better and forget it, and forgive us!!!!

[YouCanCallMeAl]

Just starting with treatments... hope I can get my cat as calm. Very helpful video. Thank you.
