So my cat was diagnosed last year via x-ray with "mild asthma" -- my vet put him on predlisone. That worked like a charm. Though I was able to keep him on a low dose. However, when we got our first blood test results his blood sugar was high. The vet seemed to think that this was due to stress at the vet but, I just think that is sticking your head in the sand. I asked what else was available and she suggested an antihistamine. MAN have I had trouble with that. Killed my entire week.
Still hasn't gotten a dose.
But in the past 4 days he has had two attacks... that I know of.
I figure I have to give natural remedies a shot.
First I tried (1) Pet Amaze (but that has failed me before) then, just yesterday I tried (2) Querican and Bromide (a natural supplement) some people say that works for asthma and some people say it doesn't. And finally, just now (3) Salmon Oil - there is a lot of people that say that works for reducing inflammation.
I am being conservative with Querican and Bromide and the Salmon oil as they both have blood thinning properties. Since I don't know what is in the pet amaze I am discontinuing. I find that hard to keep up with anyway. Unless someone knows that it is safe with the other supplements.
I feel like I have to just be patient and give time for these things to work. But I am an impatient girl.
Finally I do know I might have to get the inhaler. I have tried for the past few days to get my cat to let me put a cup over his face. No go.. not even for a second. Any ideas on how to get him to let me do that?
