Tracy Cat Asthma Treatment with Aerokat

Hi R. I kinda got lucky with Tracy. She accepted the mask from day one without a fight, so I don’t have any genius ideas for you to get your cat to allow you to put the mask on her. The small mask size is fine as long as it covers your cats entire nostril area. Tracy uses the small mask. more helpful info can be found on yahoo groups.

Thanks. You should really have your cat assesed by a vet knowledgable in asthma. Not all cases are clear cut and you’ll want someone who knows what they are looking for assessing her. If she does have asthma, as long as you treat her and don’t let the condition worsen she will live a long happy life. )

I’m planning on getting my cat to a vet and I’m really worried that she’s got asthma. She had a virus and a bad hairball in March that basically silenced her meows (ok now) but in April I noticed soft cough about twice a week, 6-10 coughs through her mouth and nose. It’s not wet and it’s not breathless, it’s just quiet. Only starting this week she started to lick her lips alot. This sound like asthma? I’m worried it will shorten her life (8 years old).

No sorry, I must have confused you. The equipment I have is for humans when they are hospitalised with asma and it clips onto the travel case. I have stopped it because it is totally freaking Rosie out. It’s an infusion of drugs that get steamed into the cage. However, after watching the videos I really don’t think she has asma as she doesn’t cough – she just needs to catch her breath – I am soooooo confused!

Puffing the flovent into a carrier will not work at all. I’m shocked a vet told you this was acceptable. I’d be looking for another vet asap. The Flovent must be given directly into the airway. Try wrapping your kitty up in a kitty burrito w/ a towel & giving the flovent like that. more helpful info can be found on yahoo groups.

Thank you so much for this video. I think my cat may have asthma and did not know what kind of treatment he would need.

It’s definitely not the least expensive treatment out there, but of all the asthma treatment options available it has the least side affects to the cat so it’s definitely the safest long term option. Flovent varies in cost of where you get it and the strength that your cat will need. Tracys’s inhaler costs about fifty per month and she’s on the highest dosage advised, 880mcg per day. Join Yahoo Groups for advice on where to purchase Flovent at the best price. Good Luck. I hope your kitty is ok.

Wow, Tracy is quite the trooper! I have a 3 year old male cat, Raskal, who was recently diagnosed with feline asthma. We have him on 10mg daily of prednisolone pills as well as a bronchodilator pill. I have ordered an aerokat and am waiting for the delivery of the inhalants so I can start gradually switching him onto those.

Thanks for the video, gives me an idea of how to approach the inhaled medicine treatment.

my poor cat has an asthma attack every 15-45 minutes

I didn’t learn that cats can have asthma until I punched in asthma in the youtube search! Poor things, I almost wanted to cry, at least with a human, you know what it is, the poor cat probably cannot understand why it is having trouble breathing! Poor baby!

She is such a good girl!! We have something similar to that but she has a mask that looks like a human mask but much smaller.
How is she doing?
