for today's results!
Yes, thank you for the tips. :nod: I will look into the nebulizer. Thank goodness we are not at that point but I fear that as he ages, things could progress. I do have a Holistic vet I can concur with as well. I will wait until we get the final diagnosis from the Specialist. Not sure if he will need an ultrasound at this point. I totally agree with combining Eastern/Western medicine and do so with my older dog, Wilbur. Thanks for the concern too.I can give you a few pointers. Get a nebulizer to have at home. You can bring him in the bathroom with it and close the door. Also, along with traditional medicine, you could use homeopathic stuff. And I'm not recommending you not go to a regular vet but you can do both, a traditional and holistic vet and make sure both of them know what the other is giving him.
Thank you Jenn I DO LOVE this little man. He really has an odd personality and such a silly little guy. He is deep rooted in my heart :heart3: He brings me much happiness and joy each day. He is always around me too. I have never had a cat quite like him. Wendall is not a lap cat, but a "near you" cat. He also is terrified of storms. He will come an literally sit on top of my feet and shake. I then carry him into my closet where we ride the storm out. Henry joins us too. My old JRT dog who is also terrified of storms. We have a closet party to weather the storm arty4: :lol3:Boys can certainly be dolls.
And i just want to add.......... I just love people like you. You so obviously love Wendall...... I know this thread is serious but your love still makes me smile. I am so glad his tests are okay.
I'll be praying for no asthma.....
Jenn
That is reassuring to know, Jenny, about Wellington. I am sorry he has asthma but that is very hopeful for me to hear about Wellington is only needing 1 mg. every other day. I am sure eventually, Wendall, will need Pred. Still waiting for the Specialists findings.Good luck with everything. Wellington has been on prednisone for 6 years now - he started on 5mg every day and is now down to 1 mg every other day, and it controls hte asthma, though he still has episodes of heavy breathing. different vets have tried to take him off it, but he always starts attacks again. I know steroids are not good long term, but sometimes we have to measure quantity against quality, and we all want hte best life we can give for our cats. It sounds like you are in in very safe hands, and I wish you all the best for the future with your little man.
Our doctor told us steroids do not have the bad effects in cats that they do in humans; when our beloved Sun was put on them, it definitely made a huge improvement in his health and wellbeing, and he lived to 16, one for the record books in those times (he had dry-form FIP).

I have also worried that Wendall has FIP... only because of his bloated bellies from time to time. But his corona levels were low not high. I know that is not full proof though and there is not accurate test for FIP.
