My cats had asthma and I want to try to up her cosequin dose to 2 capsules. I have read glucosamine can trigger asthma. You who hava asthma cat with arthritis what do u do?
I haven't heard that glucosamine triggers asthma. I have an asthmatic cat who has pretty bad arthritis in his hips/knees due to surgery on his patellas when he was younger. I give him glucosamine daily to help with his arthritis. I have noticed and increase in his asthma symptoms recently but he also has a chronic respiratory infection. He has been on glucosamine for years and has had pretty well controlled asthma up until recently. He is on a steroid inhaler for his asthma as well as a rescue inhaler as needed.
Yes my cat is on flovent inhaler and prednisolone!
Which antibiotics do u treat the cronic infection? My cat was also stabilized on asthma meds but now much worse breathing. Xray showed nothing she tried amox and tomorrow switching to doxycykline.
