What is the disgnosis and medication cost for cat potentially with asthma (lemmy.world)

Anybody been thru the process before and know what the approximate costs and details are about getting a cat seen for potential asthma?

She has a really jerky/compressed in/out breath that makes her stomach look hiccupy and she often has several fits of dry heaving all day. She used to throw up constantly but not so much anymore but she still has her training to jump of the couch whenever that arises.

Thanks 🐱

Sure thing! It's not as daunting as it may seem. We found that a single dose in the morning was sufficient and haven't discovered him having any episodes in the past year, so that's rad.

Does she need to be dosed EVERY day or can she go between?

[–] Hayduke@lemmy.world 2 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Every day. It's a steroid so consistency is generally ideal. Missing a day here or there has occurred, but it was not desirable. Good question for the vet though. I am not a registered cat doctor

I know for me I was a Ventolin addict until I started on one of the combination long acting ones and I barely use it like 2x/week
