    Plz help! Cat won’t stop gagging

    This sounds exactly like asthma. I would either find a new vet or ask your vet to do a chest x-ray to check his lungs. Also, if you can get videos of him doing the gagging, that would be great to show the vet. You can check out Fritz the Brave's website for more info on asthma. Most treatment...

    Cat diagnosed with asthma, meds aren't working too well

    So, my cat, Funny Face (sixteen year old spayed tortie) was recently diagnosed with asthma. The vet has given her a depo shot, steroids, Terbutaline, antibiotics, and an appetite stimulant in an attempt to help. He said it's not a bad case of asthma, not like ones he has seen many times. The...

    Asthma Looks Like Hairballs

    Hi I'm just going to post this video. This is what my cat did for years and I always thought it was hairballs like the creator does. What made me realize it wasn't was switching to lightweight litter and the dust pushed these attacks into overdrive. What cat asthma looks like

    gag while eating

    My cat who has asthma does this when she's having a bad asthma day. Is he only doing this while eating?

    Eye discharge, sneezing and coughing, help

    Yes allergies was what I thought but the vet totally discarded it. About asthma I remember that 4 years ago an X-ray was done on her and the vet actually mentioned something about asthma but never really went to specific about it.

    cat asthma

    My 13 year old cat Bess was just diagnosed with asthma. The vet gave me a bottle of liquid prednisolone to give her. I measured out the first dose and realized the contents of the bottle smell just terrible. Can prednisolone go bad? Is it supposed to smell putrid? I can't find any information...

    Cat Obese From Steroids

Both of you, @emelyssa and @ImaRobot, might get some answers to your dilemma if you put your stories to the folks at one/more of the specialized online communities of...

    My Cat Has Been “Gagging or Hacking” for past 4 days

    That’s what Tessa does when she has an asthma attack. I’m not saying your kitty has asthma, but I’d definitely ask. The prednisone may very well help if it is asthma. Tessa needs an inhaler but maybe your kitty is just having an acute issue. So glad you took him to the vet and I hope the meds...

    Eye discharge, sneezing and coughing, help

    The watery eyes & sneezing could be from allergies. The coughing can be asthma. I think you should ask the vet to check specifically for asthma, which will require an X-ray.

    6 Month Old Wheezing

    To me, that sounds like an asthma attack, but could be other things. The vet will likely want to take an xray at least.

    Steroid shots and coughing/sneezing

    ...post. Could the coughing/sneezing actually be from fluid retention? Some cats can react that way to steroids. Was he also checked for any kind of heart/lung issue besides asthma? There are other ways to treat asthma besides injectable steroids. You might want to ask your vet about other options.

    Question of the Day, May 1, 2024

    Odoban, usually. I like the new Clorox cleaning product scents, like the coconut one and the hibiscus one, but they are very strong and that can set off my asthma.

    Cat Can't Clear Hairball?

    Yes, and ask them to check for asthma and check her heart. The asthma attack looks like a non-productive hairball cough. Sometimes heart problems show up as coughing as well. Not to scare you, but it's an urgent situation.

    Struggling now with anxiety after putting Stanley down

    ...had found the cancer sooner, there likely wasn't anything anyone could have done. The same thing happened to Fuzzy. One day he was fine, the next he was at the emergency animal hospital in the city getting an asthma treatment. Further testing revealed it wasn't asthma. It all happened so fast.

If the asthma treatment does not clear...

    Asthma or HCM?

    ...I start petting her it doesn’t last long, and usually ends with a few swallows as I’m petting her and she’s purring. She’s 17. We’ve suspected asthma for a while and have been monitoring as I’ve attempted to clean the house more. I’ll be the first to admit that I’m not great with the...
