*VERY* Worried about my Basie Bee :(

Great idea on the homemade spacer. I know they are a bit pricey. The medication for the inhaler is a human inhalent, called Flovent.

Its really great to hear the inhaler helped your pup. I really hope it'll help Basie. I know he's been so miserable with all his wheezing and now his constant sneezing.

Your right it was Flovent. I've also used the benedryl syrup which was interesting. Even using a syringe he ended up with a sticky red beard.. Hope he's feeling better soon.

Kelly, I'm sorry to hear that Basie's been having such bad sneezing attacks. I sure hope that the new meds will do the trick. More prayers are on the way.

What a relief it must be for poor Basie and for you that the antihistamine is working. It's so hard seeing our babies sick like that.

I pray that he continues to do well on the medication.

Thanks again for yout support and concern, guys. I know you understand my worries. To most people, he's "just a cat, deal with it", but he's my little guy and he's special. Seeing him feel so rotten breaks my heart. I'm so worried about him, I'm losing sleep.

CiCi tried the pill version antihistamine, but said he started frothing so badly (drama, not hurt or reaction. Just Basie being Basie), she had to wash his face for him. She's a sucker like me!!!

Tomorrow, I'm going to try the Benadryl again, but use a popcicle stick to hold his tongue down while CiCi pours the liquid meds all the way DOWN his throat. If he froths, it'll be slobber, not medicine. I just know it'll help him feel better. And, it'll make him sleepy and he'll be able to heal that way too.

His kitty snot is all clear now, no more green/white. So that's good. But he's still sneezing, wheezing and coughing. Poor itty bitty!

Thanks again for humoring me with this. I know its just a URI, but with that asthma and horrid allergies, he's so much sicker. I'm terrified that he'll have an attack and I wont be able to help him.

Poor little Basie! How heartbreaking to read that he hates taking his meds!! Basie, sweetheart, they will help you to feel better! Please be a good boy and take your meds!
