Lol, I gotta remember that one
If you can, see if you can get a video of her doing it, that often helps the vets.I will probably call the vet tomorrow
I’ll have to try that next time! They did well overnight and both slept on the bed without incident.For Hooper, try this;
either with vanilla or raw coconut (which still has fragrance) ;
From valanhb
You put a dab of vanilla extract under the chins, at the base of their neck (by the spine) and at the base of the tail (again, on the spine not the underside of the tail!) of all of the cats to make them smell the same. Cats recognize each other by scent, so if that kitty smells the same as "me", then he must be a friend. Kitty logic at it's finest.
This trick works when introducing cats into the household as well, or during a reintroduction after a redirected aggression event.
Also, it's possible that low volume Cat Music can help too
So, my cat has athsma and I have an Albuterol inhaler from our other cat that had bronchitis. I asked our vet about this vs the Flovent and asked if we could use Albuterol while we waited for her prescription to get to us in the mail. She said that Albuterol is more of for severe emergencies because it can stop working all together if used too often. I didn't push it after that or even look it up after that, but that may be why she is hesitant to prescribe it? I was pretty lax with the Flovent at first because our cat is not a fan of the whole process. But she recently started having 3+ attacks a day and so now I set a timer to make sure we use it twice a day. It's still too early to tell, I think, but we have been consistent at twice a day for a couple weeks and the last few days I have not seen her have any attacks. It sounds like this isn't working well with yours though. Can you make an in person appointment or possibly get a second opinion?Still having some asthma issues - occasional coughing fits - so she is getting three puffs of Flovent a day (once in the am and twice pm) Whereas before she was doing great on once a day. The new dose can take a while to kick in And I can still add an additional puff in the morning if needed. My vet recommended adding in oral prednisolone if she doesn’t improve, but we aren’t there yet. I would prefer to not subject Twyla to the side effects of oral steroids and the possible negative effects on her seemingly stable kidneys. My vet would not prescribe an albuterol rescue inhaler. I don’t understand that thinking at all! Probably because we only did a phone consult. She has a wellness checkup in 2 and a half weeks - hopefully the asthma will be stabilized by then.
She rarely has attacks, but had a couple this summer that were prolonged and possibly stress related. However, she is doing really well on twice a day Flovent and we seem to be passed that. She was just at the vet on Monday and her lungs were good. She has been good on one puff a day for almost two years.So, my cat has athsma and I have an Albuterol inhaler from our other cat that had bronchitis.
