PLEASE pray for Josie today!

[christa]

Josie is having bad asthma today. Please pray that the steriod that I gave her this morning will kick in soon!

Our vet is closed on Wednesday (of course) so hopefully she will settle down enough to make it until tomorrow.

Poor Josie. Is there anything you can do until the appointment? I know nothing about asthma, so I'm helpless but I can certainly pray!

[Pawsitive Thinking]

Praying right now - how is she?

[catlover4ever]

Poor Josie. Can you put Josie in a carrier and use a steam vaporizer to help clear her airways? I don't even know if that makes sense but I know when my brother-in-law gets bad asthma days he goes into the bathroom and runs the hot water for lots of steam to help clear up his airways.

THANK YOU GOD!!!

Good news! I called my vet's office, just to leave a message that if anyone came in today, to call me . . . I thought maybe they could give me some advice . . .

The vet tech, Tyler, answered the phone!!!!

I was floored!

He said they open until 1 on Wednesdays now, but only the techs are in! (good to know!)

I'm so glad I called!!!

Anyway, took Josie, got her shot . . . It should start to kick in any time. Her stomach is still jerking, but she hasn't had a coughing fit since we got home, so it's probably already starting to work.

She hasn't been this bad in quite some time. I usually can get preds in her before she gets bad . . . she must have been sick all night.

Thanks everyone for the prayers! Something told me to call, and I'm so glad that I did!!!

I'm so glad to hear that Josie is going to be alright.

[christa]

I hate this.

She coughed a little a second ago. It's only been about an hour since her shot . . . her breathing seems to be a tad bit better. I hope that she settles down.

Keep praying for her . . . she's still not 100%.

I just saw this. I am glad that you got her to the vet and that she is showing some improvement. Hopefully the shot will kick in and she will be 100% soon. Please keep us posted. Hugs and prayers on their way.

Poor Josie. I'm so glad you were able to take her in for a shot. Prayers that she's 100% soon.

Shell's Angel's are all glad your Josie is ok, we know how scarey an asthma attack can be. Best of luck And Josie this maybe a good day for you to find a sunny spot to take a cat knap and take it easy.

[kittycats_delight]

lots of prayers comiong for Josie that those meds kick in quick. I am glad she is feeling a little better and we will keep on preying until she is 150% better.

Christa,

I hope the steroids help relieve Josie's asthma. With the heat and humidity, it can wreak havoc on asthma and allergies. My 11 year old tortie, Mollie Rose has both asthma and allergies. I give her prednisone when her asthma gets really bad, and also an allergy pill (Chlortrimeton for humans) when she gets watery eyes, stuffy nose and sneezing.
