We take her to get shots about every 4-6 weeks, whenever she starts coughing. I have no idea what the shot is called though.
The thing with Basie is, he moves the pill to the side of his mouth, almost UNDER his tongue. When he swallows, he swallows nothing. Little smarty brat, huh? CiCi is the one who pills him and she's been a vet/surgical techfor nearly 10 years and even she says he's a pain in the butt.

The injections are probably some form of pred, like solu-medrol. I want to try the kitty inhaler first, but then injections may help too. When he was first diagnosed, he had a series of the injections for a while there and they did seem to help a bit. Thanks for the ideas, I'm sorry your little one has asthma as well. Do the injections seem to help her?
