My cat has breathing problems, worse at night, on meds. Is it asthma?
Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! Breathing issues can be a sign of many conditions such as pneumonia, bronchitis, heart disease, asthma, among many other possibilities. This could certainly be due to asthma which is not treated with antibiotics but rather it is treated with steroids and other medications. Since he has not improved, I recommend that you have Oscar reevaluated by your veterinarian for further assessment and treatment. Likely diagnostics to be performed include thoracic radiographs and bloodwork. Treatment would be dependent on findings. Good luck and have a good night!

Vet Q & A
My cat has asthma and won't take oral meds. Are shots an option?
There is an injection called depo medrol, i personally do not recommend it as potential side effects can be very serious. the better option in my opinion are tablets, prednisolone tablets for cats are very small and easily hidden in gravy or wet food. most cats eat the wet food and never even suspect there is a tablet inside. it's not a big deal if you are 1-2 hours late.

Vet Q & A
My cat's asthma meds aren't working. Should I take him to the vet?
I'm sorry Pumpkin isn't feeling well. Asthma can be difficult to control. Pumpkin needs to be on a daily inhaled steroid as well as an oral steroid. You need a rescue inhaler for emergencies. Make sure you aren't using any aerosols or vapors in the home- that means any plug ins, cleaning supplies, smoking, candles, etc. Also, make sure your vet has prescribed a dewormer to rule out parasites that mimic asthma. If that's not working, you may need to see a specialist to discuss further options. Good luck and kisses to Pumpkin!

Vet Q & A
My cat coughs and sneezes. Could it be asthma if allergy meds fail?
There are no specific diagnostic tests for asthma, so it's a diagnosis of exclusion. The vet can do a physical exam, blood work, x-rays, parasitic tests, and evaluation of bronchial secretions to rule out other causes of his sneezing and coughing. I would take Blaze back into the vet tomorrow because the antihistamines aren't working. The vet may prescribe a stronger drug in case he has allergies, such as steroids, or they may decide to further testing to diagnose what is causing his symptoms.

Vet Q & A
My cat is wheezing and has abdominal breathing. Is it asthma?
I'd be concerned that Sock may have feline asthma. It would be worth a trip to the veterinarian to have X-rays done again on Sock to look for asthmatic changes. Asthma in cats is fairly common and can be treated with both inhalant medication and oral medications. An Aerokat inhaler can be ordered to help administer inhalant medications if necessary. Your veterinarian can also ensure that Sock is not experiencing another upper respiratory infection. I'd also recommend eliminating the use of perfumed cleaners, or perfumed or dusty litter types as these things can aggravate airway disease in cats. Try to change air filters regularly and use an air purifier to cut down on allergens. Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach!
