I know alot about Asthma. Coco gets some real bad attacks. She gets the Depro shot when it is bad. I hope your Cat will be ok. I used Yesterdays Mews Unscented because most litters make her sick.

I use arm and hammer, sometimes it's dusty, but it's never seemed to bother him. This is the first time I've ever seen this, the vet says everything but the vomiting is consistent with asthma/an allergy. However if I licked up soap I think I'd vomit too. He said if he had been severely poisened he would have a fever. His heart looked OK on the X-ray.........but I'll know more at 7.
*sigh*

Lots of for sweet Cello.

Cello
o poor cello and poor you...
don't blame yourself, it sounds like he's gonna be just fine.
It could end up to be a blessing in disguise... if it turns out he does have asthma, he'll be better in the future for the knowing.

I was actually thinking this..........could end up a lot worse if we don't treat it. And from the sounds of it chronic asthma is pretty simple to treat (if that's what it is
o geez I know... it's so hard.
it's a good thing Chloe had her own room during her stay at the vet or I would've been in everyone's way with the amount of time I spent there with her.
and it's always hard on the other kitties too, missing their playmate

Oh no.
I sure hope your boy is ok. After all you went through with Kismet you sure didn't need this did you?

well cello is back home. His breathing is back to normal, I have steroids and antibiotics to give him and he needs to be checked out next week by the regular vet for asthma....assuming nothing else goes wrong.
I'm still really worried, I thought he'd be famished when he got home and he has NEVER missed a meal, and he won't even eat his favourite food. Maybe he's just upset from being at the vets........I'll give him some time before I freak out further........

I'm glad to hear he is back home with you. I hope all goes well at the vets.
They could have fed him while there or he is just a bit stressed from his ordeal.

I know.........just a very worried momma........but thanksOriginally Posted by laureen227
i wouldn't worry unless he still doesn't want to eat tomorrow. he's been thru an ordeal!
Thanks everyone.....
I'm glad he seems better. If it turns out to be asthma, it is very treatable (I've had it for my entire life).
Try warming his food up to increase the smell. Also, try adding some extra water to it.
Steroids, usually prednisone for asthmatics, increase the heart rate, open the lungs, cause water retension, increase appetite, and even though they can make you a bit hyper, the asthma causes a decrease in oxygen to the body, so you get more fatigue. It's hard to eat when you are struggling to breathe.

My mother had a situation like that happen to her, only it was with the liquid potporri! It got tipped and the cat tried to lick it off of her, and she ended up in the ER puking and having a real hard time breathing! She got better after a while and is just fine now!! Good luck and good
I know how it feels! I accidently left the Magic Rocks stuff out about 6 weeks ago and my cats drank it and got really sick! I thought they had a URI and so did the vet until I realized all the water was gone in the magic rocks!

What a relief that Cello is breathing better.
I imagine that your sweetie is really tired after such a difficult day.
Many healing vibes coming Cello's way.
