Recently, my 4 year old boy, Enzo, was diagnosed with asthma. At first I thought he had a hairball but he never got it out. The coughing got worse and worse. The radiologist said it may be asthma or it may just be bronchitis. The X-rays weren't very conclusive. He also has FHV. We put him on a corticosteroid pill AND an antibiotic. When we took him off the antibiotic he went into a full-blown URI. Sneezing, snotty, watery eyes...the whole thing. Of course he wasn't coughing because he was on the steroids still. So my instincts tell me it may not be asthma but just a bad URI because my other cat is also sick. She's not nearly as bad, but she doesn't have herpes and has had her shots less than 6 months ago.
He's been off the corticosteroids for a week now and has only coughed once. Before it was like 6 coughing fits a day. Now he's prescribed a inhaled steroid, Flovent HFC 220 mcg., which I figured can't hurt even if it isn't asthma. I'll give it too him for a few months until he's over this bronchitis. And if it is asthma, he'll start coughing when I take him off of it and I'll just put him back on it.
Then I saw the price! $300 at Costco for a 2 month supply!! That's absoulutely ridiculous for a chronic sickness. Then I found this site that I just had to share! Because I don't see how anyone can afford a lifetime of that!

Needless to say, I ordered him a 4 month supply.
