That is great that you were able to help JJ. Cool inhaler you have there. Is she good about getting her meds?

My 9 year old tortie Mollie Rose was diagnosed with kitty asthma. They gave me Prednisone to give her when she has an attack. She recently went to the vet because she was sneezing alot. She had this problem once before and they gave her Interferon and Orbax which worked great on the sneezing.

Well this time around, not only did it work great on the sneezing, but I've noticed that she doesn't have as many asthma attacks and they aren't as severe.

Hmmmm, I wonder if there's some connection there??
