Information about Feline Asthma?


Does anyone have a kitty with asthma? If so, how long have they had it? How did they diagnose it? How often do they have attacks? How is it managed? What is the yearly cost of an asthma kitty? Are they healthy or do they struggle? Any additional information I should know.

Thank you very much!!!

We have a severe asthmatic cat. She's fine now and on inhaled meds. I won't lie to you though, her treatments are not cheap. BUT... she would be dead with out them so she's worth it. We make sacrifices so she can have her meds. Start up for inhaled meds was about $400.00 and it's $67.00 per month now for her Flovent.

This is the best website out there about feline asthma. Start by reading there.

Also, go to youtube and search and you will see lots of videos of asthma cats, and cats being treated for asthma with inhalers using the aerokat and flovent. Good info to be had there.

There are also yahoo groups that can help you.

I have a black domestic short hair male cat. He's almost 3. He has asthma and it hasn't cost me much money. I had x-rays done on his lungs and they diagnosed him with asthma. We changed our litter to World's Best Cat Litter to reduce dust that irritated his respiratory system and caused him to wheeze. Whenever he has attacks, we feed him a few hairball treats and that calms him down.

First i need to know what symptoms your "Kitteh" has so just contact me ok.
