I'm going to ask this question again, because some of you might not have seen it under a different thread.
If anyone has a cat with asthma, please let me know how they confirm the diagnosis and what treatment your cat is receiving. I am almost positive my cat has asthma...he has all the coughing, choking, sneezing, wheezing, and phlegm that I read about - it's not hairballs. But apparently my vet is NOT familiar with asthma in cats. He was put on Prednisone (steroid) for early gum disease at 2 yrs. old and most of his asthma symptoms went away (that's how I finally figured it out myself!).
I'm just wondering if I should get a second opinion to confirm his asthma and if this drug is safe for long-term use. My vet at first said it could NOT be asthma, but I've read otherwise.
Thanks.
