I have 8 rescued cats all VERY much loved & spoiled, all indoor only(all fixed).They range from 4yrs to 14 yrs.
I have one who was recently diagnosed diabetes, & I'm dealing fairly good with that. But now my little guy Tuffy was just diagnosed with asthma. He had a hard time breathing and wheezing badly, so we made an emergency appt with the vet. He prescribed Amoxi Drops every 24 hrs,Prednisolone, 6 cc every 12 hrs. & Theophylline 1 tablet in the p.m. every 24 hrs.and Tuffy was given oxygen. It was all so scary, especially when he has a hard time breathing & is gasping for air. I have so many questions & concerns. I don't want to lose my little guy. I found him in a grocery parking lot after someone ran him over & left him to die. He sleeps next to me nearly every night with his paw touching my shoulder. Is there anything I can give him if he has a sudden attack, especially after hrs when the vet is closed. Is there anything like bottled oxygen to give in an emergency?
I love my cats, they give me something to come home to. I lost my husband suddenly & it gets very lonesome. He didn't have any life insurance so I am on a very strict budget and am trying my best to give my cats good care. Right now my little guy is wheezing, I'm so afraid I will lose him. Any advice that people have who are in the same situation will be much appreciated.
