Christa thank you so much! I know you and several others have asthmatic cats and I was hoping for some advice. Abigail is 5 months old and the vet and I are both hoping she will outgrow this. She doesn't do it very often but yesterday her coughing fit was worse than most. It has been weeks since she had one. I'm thinking the rainy damp weather isn't helping. We try to watch for anything that seems to trigger it and eliminate that problem. Now you tell me that I have to clean more!!! Oh the things we go through for these little ones!
I really hope she outgrows this and it doesn't get worse like Josie's. Yesterday her coughing was as loud and as harsh as a grown human male and that scared me. She only did that a couple of times and the rest were her usual coughs. She has never had open mouth breathing and I have never noticed her stomach spasming. At least not yet anyway. I may call the vet and see about getting her that shot instead of her taking these pills. I'm really not happy about giving her Prednisone but I may have to.
Abigail is so tiny and she had such a rough beginning that I hate to see her go through this. Although, it doesn't slow down any of those crazy kitten antics the rest of the time!
Thanks again Christa and I may be needing to bug you again.
