My cat has been diagnosed with asthma, and he used to have prescribed meds (oral). We can't afford to bring him back to the vet and his asthma is really bad right now. I have inhalers for my own asthma - can I give him some?
I'm really sorry to hear about this situation. We usually try to stay away from advising medication without seeing the patient, but if Frodo is having trouble breathing, then it's important to treat this quickly. If you have an albuterol inhaler, then this can be used, but you need to be sure that this is in-fact albuterol. You will need an appropriate spacer and mask (e.g., Aerokat®) and only administer one puff. May repeat every 30 minutes for up to 4 to 6 hours in emergencies. Keep in mind that this is a rescue drug and is not intended for long-term usage. I understand that the vet can be expensive, but Frodo will need long-term medication. You can explain to your vet that money is a concern and hopefully they can help you find a less-expensive option treating long-term.

Hello, My vet has been treating my 17 year old cat for bad flu for over a month. She has had a course of antibiotics for 4 weeks - every monday. My vet has been doing house calls as she is arthritic and I feel it is better to not distress her at thi
There is a syrup called terbutalin, it's also a bronchodilatator but it may be easier to give to her because it is liquid. it's a human product so it can be purchased in a normal pharmacy with a prescription.

My cat, Spectre is approximately a year and a half old. 2 months ago she started having asthma attacks. We’ve been to the ER vet once and she had two monthly 4 week steroid shots. It should have been time to take her back this Friday, but she is havi
I am so sorry that Spectre is going through this. Albuterol 90 mcg usually just 1 puff is used in cats in times of respiratory distress. I would not wait and I would get her into see an emergency veterinarian immediately. The albuterol will wear off and when it does she needs to either be in an oxygen cage or have enough steroids on board to calm her airways. I would encourage you to discuss an Aerokat mask with your veterinarian as these can be really useful in administering the albuterol to kitties. Also an inhaled steroid may be a good idea as well. Best of luck and I hope she improves soon. Thank you for using Pet Coach.

My cat butters takes Flovent 44mcg inhaler three times daily as prescribed by his vet and also has albuterol inh (prn) I recently had to board him for 5 days (at his same vet). When I picked him up and looked at his Flovent which I purchased the day
There is no specifically worked out dosage for albuterol in cats, but it can be safely given to children up to 4 times daily, so we can extrapolate from that. I know you will be concerned but I really don't think any harm will have been done.

My five year old male (neutered) cat was just diagnosed with asthma. We live in coastal Georgia and the pollen and allergens are abundant. He is a porch kitty and therefore lives mostly outside but is safe, dry, warm and comfortable on a porch. The m
No, there are no herbal medications that can help with this condition. i don't know what medication your vet prescribed but asthma can be well controlled with prednisolone alone. this treatment will cost you less than 10$ a month (!!), i'm sure you can afford that.
