Hi everyone, I have been here before and the last time you were all so helpful when I just found out my cat had kidney disease and was not eating the special diet. Well that same kitty is sixteen years old and has FIV. He had FIV when I adopted him from the animal shelter 8 years ago. He also has asthma. He is on a steroid that I apply to his ear, but it may be making feel not too well so my Doctor and I, thought maybe a steroid inhaler that only targets the lungs and not his whole body, may be better. She recommended Flovent, but they quit making it this January. What I am finding is the medicine is very expensive and I am desperately searching for a place a little cheaper. Does anyone know a good place to get Fluticasone Propionate? He needs 44 mcg. My CKD question is, does anyone know if the ear steroid, I think prednisone can cause Kidney failure? The ear steroid goes through the whole system the same as tablet form.
