What do you guys give your asthmatic kitties and how did you get them in a good place with prevention? We have the fancy AeroKat chamber and she does tolerate it (I can see the indicators flapping demonstrating she is inhaling properly)

She's on

  • 110mcg fluticasone 2x/day before food
  • 100mcg salbutamol~1-3x day right now

She weighs around 9lbs

Go to your veterinarian. Do not rely on Internet randoms.

While always true, feline asthma is something a lot of vets handle vastly different. So, hearing about how other people roll with it can have a great benefit (given you do not simply change medications by yourself, but propose other plans to your vet!)

I would definitely get some ideas from the Internet, but verify them with a vet afterwards. If you feel like your current vets advice isn't working don't be afraid to get a second opinion from a different vet (it's what I would do with a human doctor as well).
