feline asthma - treatment with Aerokat inhaler
Вставка
- Опубліковано 7 кві 2013
- my poor Nezumi is having an asthma attack and being treated with the Aerokat inhaler and flixotide 250 mcg asthma aerosol. 2 weeks after starting this treatment, she completely stopped having asthma attacks. it wasn't difficult to get her used to Aerokat and she loves it and always purrs with the mask on. we are so glad we found out about the inhaler treatment, which is much safer than lifelong steroid pills.
UPDATE: unfortunately it didn´t really work out in the long run. she lost all her hair around her nose from the inhaler and got demodex mites. her nose was completely bald. I had to stop using the inhaler and put her back on steroid pills. - Домашні улюбленці та дикі тварини
RIP Nezumi 2005 - 16.2.2021. You were the sweetest cat in the world. I will always miss you. Every single day.
I am so sorry
Sorry for your loss .did Nexumi pass on his own? Or did you have him sedated?
@@imassage619 her heart failed, she had severe heart arrythmia and was suddenly fainting constantly. the vet clinic could not save her. she had to be relieved of her suffering. I am still so sad. She was the cutest cat on planet earth. But I am glad she did turn 16 despite her asthma. I will always miss her and never forget her.
@@Kattamedia So sorry to hear, just happy she lived a long wonderful life and was extremely loved. I am currently finding out my baby boy has asthma and will need aerokat as well. Thank you for video demonstration and I hope life is well for you during these weird times.
@@kaysonpiano I will always miss her, she was the sweetest cat in the world. good luck with your cat and the inhaler!
I love hearing the cat purr
Very calm and well behaved cat. My cat would freak out if I tried an inhaler on him.
My cat also has asthma and I use the Aerokat inhaler. The trick is to get the cat used to it....slowly...a few seconds at a time, then build up to 10 seconds, twenty seconds etc. Don't ever restrain your cat whilst doing this, just hold them and pat their head exactly as shown in this excellent video. Food rewards and praise after every puff really do work wonders!! They will get used to it if you're patient, gentle, encouraging...and reward them!!
Christine Campbell Thanks for the encouragement. My Gracie is NOT loving this so far. She also has pneumonia and is bothered with oral antibiotics twice a day for that too and she is having a lot of sinus drainage. I'm sure that doesn't help plus the fact that she is not into eating treats like she was before she got sick. So treats as a reward does not work at this time. :(
Thank you! Nezumi is so beautiful & calm.
What an adorable sweet kitty.
i have been using this 2 times per day for the last 6 months. works perfectly. not 1 attack since
Hi I have the same cat as you... and my cat has asthma too what should I do
thank you for the help Nezumi
She's so calm! I had no idea kitties could get asthma. I had been trying to communicate with my vet for a while to see what is wrong with my poor baby and I am going to go to him with this. I had been thinking she was coughing so I probably wasn't explaining to my vet right what was going on.
Thank you great video, very helpful! I'll find out tomorrow if my big guy Jack has asthma. I can only pray, Jack will behave a fraction of the way your beautiful kitty did in video! Lol BTW, I swear I heard you cat starting to purr around middle of it's treatment! I'll be lucky if I still have both eyes after a treatment if he'll be needing them! Lol Jacks a rescue, very sweet but doesn't like to be messed with! He was abused bf I found him. He's come a long way with trust but has "issues"
Thank you so much
I just ordered the Aerokat...I'm so glad we have these options!
I wasn't sure if my cat had a cold or asthma, now it's clear since the steroid shot and the antibiotic has worn off we might be dealing with asthma :(
Thank you so much for posting this video!
I ordered this morning too. Let's pray for the best.
Thank you for sharing
Thank you. I'll try it now. First time on a shy cat
How did it turn out?
i love cat so much
thank you very much for the video ...just find out my siamese 2 years old have asthma and i was wondering please if you could tell me went do you give the shot ? right after the attack like the video it seem or anytime during the day ?
you have to give the cat one puff with 10 breaths twice a day - morning and evening - for the rest of its life to prevent attacks !
Kattamedia Thank you for your anwser , very helpfull :)
Do you use the inhaler during their asthma attack or after they’re done coughing? I’m getting my cat his inhaler tomorrow 🥺
it needs to be used daily, regardless of attacks
My cat has been having this persistent cough the past few months. Very much like in the video. I did research and I really think he might be asthmatic. However I just know he would detest this sort of treatment. He's not very submissive and he's sort of a do what I feel like cat. He'd hate it. What are some tips to get him introduced to the inhaler?? I get the whole treat reward thing but how do I get him to not scratch and run away to begin with?
+Gillian Anderson
Yes, my cat, Pearl, a Devon Rex, has bad asthma, but the breeder separated her from her mother too early (had her alone in a cage as a small kitten) and now, though she is loving, she is very jumpy and sensitive - she is traumatized by drops in her ears, totally flips out at the vet, nice as he is, and food or treats are no reward for her. She goes into a deep depression if I leave her with someone else for two or three nights. She really needs this- but I'm afraid if I use it on her she'll permanently move under the bed. It would not work not to restrain her - she'd be gone. I don't know what to do.
Gillian Anderson i pick my cat up and hold her snug against my side. my cat actually comes to me at 5am and 5 pm for her treatments because she knows that she will get treats reight afterward.
That inhaler isn’t for sudden attacks. It’s a maintenance inhaler. It’s not helping relieve the sudden attack.
yes, just like the prednisolone pills are for maintenance. The inhaler replaces the pills.
How do you buy the inhaler? Do they actually give the cat a prescription for it?
no, I bought it online
Poor cat sounds like she has smoker's cough. I'm glad that there is treatment for this.
My cat coughs louder and the vet only prescribed lasix tablets for five days for lung fluid and said to give him whenever he coughs I do not think this is right so why are you treating him normally? And can get it without prescription?
lasix tablets? why? that´s not for asthma. unfortunately I had to give up the inhaler because all her hair around the nose fell out because of it. it worked well for a while thow. but she´s been getting prednisolone tablets. she is now 15.
@@Kattamedia I did search it before giving(our vets are horrible) him and it was indeed for lung fluid but it is too harsh and I don't want to wait every time till he is sick to treat him I want prevention+i fear for failure and my family has asthma and use a spray like that I will search the steroid you mentioned thank you
Hi...how is nezumi?
My cat is 3 yerad old and just diagnosed with asthma.
Im worried about him as i read life expectancy is between 3 to 5 years only.
she´s now already 15. I guess asthma does not kill them, if treated.
@@Kattamedia so happy to hear that ♥️
My cat Annikah has been diagnosed with feline asthma. I need to train her to the Aerokat to take her medicine and hope she will get use to it. I have the chamber and am wondering how the cat gets any air with it over their face. I can't see where more air would come in as they breathe. Also my kitty is not food motivated so I hope lots of sweet talk and petting will help.
how did it work out?
@@Kattamedia It worked out great! It did take me awhile probably 5 weeks to get her to accept it. I had to break it down into small step by step training sessions but she finally got it. She isn't thrilled with it but she is calm and doesn't resist too much. She is an elderly kitty 17 yrs with a heart condition so I had to be ultra careful with her. For awhile I feared I wouldn't be successful but with small steps and lots of patience we made it! Thanks so much for asking.
@@crystalheart9 great!
@@Kattamedia 😻😻😻
@@crystalheart9 I hope you and your kitty stay well.
how much does that medicine & inhaler cost. & can someone post me a link of where to buy it. because my cats had that cough for a while now & needs help bad
Prescription only. $200 an inhaler in the US which is 120 doses
You don't have to buy the inhaler in the US. Plenty of Canadian pharmacies around. Hardly any pet owner who has a cat with asthma buys in the US. Look at feline asthma groups on yahoo or groups.io.
Sweet kitty. We are using steroids with limited success... wondering if this is a better long term solution/treatment...
It is because it doesn't have the same side effects and risks as steroids. It doesn't make them hungry either. My cat used to be treated with short courses of prednisolone, but now I switched to inhaler. He is not particularly cooperative, but overall, it's not terribly difficult. I am giving him 110 mcg, one puff twice a day. He doesn't cough at all now. The only issue is price, but I get my inhaler in Canada.
@@jewelmarkess hi I have the exact same cat with you and he has asthma... what should I do
Where can I get aero kat in SOUTH AFRICA
Online, maybe. You could also use a human Aerochamber (with the smallest pediatric mask), or adapt it with a plastic soda bottleneck or some silicone cup as a mask to fit your cat's size.
Genial♥️
It really depends on the cat but it was impossible to use it on my cat. I guess you can try training them before use. I am going to try a natural remedy called lung gold. It has great reviews on very cheap. Ask your Vet about it. LUNG GOLD FOR CATS.

SO expensive and impossible to administer to a feral-born-but-domesticated, wiley cat. The pills they had him on prior were only $15 and SO MUCH EASIER TO GIVE HIM. But no, they for whatever reason made me drop $280 on an Aerokat + 1 INHALER. ONLY ONE!!! SO EXPENSIVE. The pills worked GREAT and I dont see why he couldnt stay on them other than they wanted to r*pe my wallet. Here he goes with the 5th asthma attack today.
5th asthma attack today because you failed toget him an AeroKat. They're $70 something bucks on amazon. Where the hell are you getting 280 from?
I got him the aerokat - it's the inhaler medicine that costs a lot. Which I also got for him. AND DOESN'T WORK. Which was my point.
I now have the $15 pills again but it's not a long-term solution - according to the vet it can cause liver damage. So next we'll have to up the dosage of the inhaler.
I just dont see how administering an inhaler daily is supposed to help. Humans use inhalers DURING an asthma attack, but as far as I know they don't use it as a preventative measure to control future asthma attacks.
Sheilaaliens take care of your cat. the inhalers work instantly and need to be used 2x per day. the medicine is around $70.
why bother having animals if you refuse to care for them when they are sick?
Plus, since you are not a veterinarian and you lack basic common sense and thought, if you question the validity watch the 100's of video showing the medicine working
I just bought the Easy Breather solution from Jackson Galaxy. I put 5 drops of it in my cat's food and water. She hasn't coughed or had an attack since, and it's been 5 days. She used to do it daily, so i'm thinking this shit works pretty damn good.
OMG I will have to try that. Thanks!
