I am heartbroken. My Dutch, 5 years old, has laboured breathing that at times gets really bad over time. A predinisone injection usually clears it up for months, but I noticed now the episodes are getting closer together. He always breathes rather fast, about twice the normal rate. He survived distemper when he was a kitten. It affected his respiritory system the worst, scarring his lungs seen in x-rays. His diagnosis - COPD and Asthma. He has just been prescribed an inhaler, which I plan to use if he has acute breathing problems, like panting. they told me to put a small cardboard box over him with a small hole, and use the inhaler through the hole so he can breathe it in. We'll see how THAT goes! My question is...has anyone found any homeopathic remedies that help with breathing? Any over the counter meds? He is not congested, I think it is more of a constricting of his airways because Prednisone helps. Anyone find anything that helps?
