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.

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.

Hydroxyzine has mild bronchodilation effects. There are more effective medications that can be given orally or even inhaled. If Sahsa's asthma is severe enough, he may need stronger anti inflammatory medications. Discuss alternative treatments and options with your veterinarian.

My cat has been having some issues breathing. We have him on an antibiotic from vet. He has taken three doses but seems to get really bad once evening hits. Can this be asthma?
Thanks for using Boop by Petco! Breathing issues can be a sign of many conditions such as pneumonia, bronchitis, heart disease, asthma, among many other possibilities. This could certainly be due to asthma which is not treated with antibiotics but rather it is treated with steroids and other medications. Since he has not improved, I recommend that you have Oscar reevaluated by your veterinarian for further assessment and treatment. Likely diagnostics to be performed include thoracic radiographs and bloodwork. Treatment would be dependent on findings. Good luck and have a good night!

My cat has asthma is there any other remedies besides steroids. I already have taken all household precautions. Thank you
Hello and thank you for reaching out to Boop by Petco. I'm sorry to hear that your cat is suffering from asthma. Generally, oral steroids such as prednisolone are used in the treatment of asthma. However, there are also inhaled steroids, such as fluticasone, that can be used to treat asthma. These are administered via an inhaler for cats, such as an AeroKat, which can be purchased online from something like amazon.com. I recommend asking if your veterinarian can prescribe a fluticasone inhaler for your cat. This helps deliver steroids directly to the lungs, and reduces the risk of the side effects we see with systemic (oral) steroids. Fluticasone inhalers can be very expensive in the US, but may be available for purchase from an international pharmacy like a Canadian pharmacy, with a prescription from your veterinarian. I hope this is helpful, and best of luck!
