Thank you, Pat and Karen.
No coughing yesterday and today so far. Keeping my fingers crossed it stays this way.

Unfortunately, after one day without coughing, it returned with a vengeance. So today, I dropped off Monroe's prescription for Theophylline (the bronchodilator). It has to be ordered and will be ready on Monday.
He's also ripping his hair out.I found several clumps in the kitchen, when I got home. I hope he's keeping his good attitude, regardless.
Otherwise, he's doing ok and he's very hungry.

Oh, Monroe, I wish I could reach through the screen and right over to your home so I could pet you and love on you... meanwhile we hope and pray for the best.

Death thought about it.
CATS, he said eventually. CATS ARE NICE.

"That's the power of kittens (and puppies too, of course): They can reduce us to quivering masses of Jell-O in about two seconds flat and make us like it. Good thing they don't have opposable thumbs or they'd surely have taken over the world by now." -- Paul Lukas

Monroe's vet did some research on alternatives for prednisolone. She found that Apoquel (a dog allergy pill) has been used off-label in cats, with some success.
Since Monroe's allergies are getting worse, I started him on it this evening.
Wish me and him luck that it will relieve his itch and discomfort.
