It's been a while since I updated this thread and we are still trying to help Sophia.

After Sophia had that huge coughing fit on Jan. 7th I was at the vets on Friday, Jan. 8th with Hermes and I was telling the vet about Sophia's coughing. Ellen is the main vet and the other vet I was seeing is Alice she's a new vet so she tends to go by the book and what not.

So I brought in a CD that had Sophia's coughing incase she wanted to listen to it and Ellen described what a cat with asthma will do and that's exactly what Sophia does so we decided at that point to start her on prednisone and so I started giving her 2 pills a day and then on Jan. 27th I went down to 1 pill a day and she started coughing 2 days after just doing 1 pill a day, I called the vets and they said do another 2 weeks of the pills at twice a day.

Last week she had a coughing fit in the morning shortley after I gave her the prednisone. I called the vets and the vet tech said just to see if she does it again and if she does I should schedule another vet appt.

So yesterday morning she coughed again. I called the vets and the vet tech scheduled Sophia for tomorrow morning but I'm thinking I'm going to call because the last time they said they were going to do an x-ray and bloodtest but she will need to be sedated for that because she gets super worked up before going to the vets and I don't want to take her to the vets just for a check up or something because that will stress her out.

Hopefully we can figure out something that will help her.
