Kelly I'm just seeing this now. I'm so sorry to here about Basie. Hopefully he'll be feeling better soon. My RB terrier had fairly severe asthma that would flair up periodically. My vet put him on a human inhaler (I can't remember the name but can find out if you'd like from his records),after talking it over with a friend of hers from Davis (he was the first patient she tried it on because nothing else worked). It helped him quite a bit and she later told me since it had worked so well for him she had 2 of her other clients cats on the same thing and they were doing well. I cheated a bit and instead of buying the container to put of his nose like in the picture (since it's expensive) I took an old plastic spice container, cleaned it out and cut a hole that allowed me to put the inhaler in. It fit perfectly over his nose and worked just as well as the expensive ones. Hope he's feeling better soon.
