Hi all ,
My cat Ned has been diagnosed with asthma about 1 year ago. We have tried getting him used to just the mask but he struggles to accept it and shys away unless we are holding a treat inside it. Hates the noise of the pump too.
We have 2 other cats who have no problem with the mask and seem to gladly accept it. We have tried it in front of him too
He's on steroids to keep his attacks at bay but he's always breathing so heavily and he can only have them for so long.
The vet doesn't seem to have any helpful advice on what to do.
it hurts because we just want him to be healthy and feel better but he just hates it.
We don't know what to do or how to help him
any advice would be extremely helpful and appreciated
wishing everyone the best xx
