My co-worker's cat is having a real hard time with her asthma right now. Again. She was taking Angel to the vet tonight again because the inhaler and steroid pills just aren't working for poor Angel.
Angel's had these periods where her asthma has reared its ugly head 4 times now. Kim has eliminated candles, scented anything, kept windows closed, changed filters in the furnace, everything she can think of. Angel does have an inhaler that they use during the attacks, but Angel gets so bad that she drools and her lips and tongue turn blue.
Kim can't stay with her all day, of course, but does go home at lunch to check on her, and rushes home at the end of the day too. Yesterday she found her in a puddle of drool and blue, even with doing the inhaler at lunch (less than 5 hours later).
I know there are some other people whose cats have asthma. Have you ever had episodes this bad? Is there anything else that she can do to help Angel besides what the vet suggests tonight?
