Hi!
So I have a former feral (3 years indoors now...estimated to be 16-18 years old) and after treating all his parasites and other issues, it's clear he has numerous environmental and food allergies as well as asthma. I've been giving him the Aerokat inhaler with albuterol as needed, and we started on steroid injections every 6 weeks to keep his inflammation at bay, but after a bad recent flare-up where the inhaler just wasn't working, a different vet from our usual one recommended Flovent instead of albuterol. He said it's expensive but you can get it cheaper out of Canada. I'm new to the asthma game...I'm more knowledgeable about diabetes, kidney disease, trigeminal nerve pain, and dental issues in cats, but the asthma thing is new. Does anyone here use Flovent in an inhaler on their kitty and would you agree it's better than albuterol?
