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?

She is doing really well. We just started month 4 on Flovent and things are looking up for Tracy cat!

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!

Crazy huh. It was really sad to see her suffering when she was having attacks. Broke my heart in two. She would come to us, no matter where we were, in a panic when she was having an attack. She once got on the bed at 3am and sat on my chest to wake me during a full blown asthma attack. Clearly begging me to stop it & there was nothing we could do to help her because we didn’t yet have a treatment plan. She’s better now though! Flovent and albuterol saved her life.

If your cat is having asthma attacks, you need to get the cat to a vet and start a treatment plan.

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.

hello, my cat may be asthmatic (have to do the tests) I am informed, and wanted to know if the treatment is very expensive with aerokat? thanks;)

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.

I hope Raskal takes to the inhaler as easily as Tracy did! Tracy *loves* medicine time. These days she races me to the chair! Just make sure to make it a positive experience and offer love, pets and treats everytime! Don’t be discouraged if it doesn’t go as smoothly as Miss Tracy demonstrates it to be. Not all cats appreciate the Aerokat on thier face. lol. Good luck! Let me know how it goes!
