- Feline Asthma: What does an asthma attack look like in a cat, and how do vets diagnose and treat it? 🙀💨
Many owners think their cats are “coughing up a hairball,” when in reality it’s something much worse- feline asthma.
In this video you can find example of what asthma attacks can look like.
Vets will often take x-rays to detect asthma, in addition to other tests to rule out other causes of coughing such as heartworm disease.
Inhaled steroids are the best for treating feline asthma. Although injectable and oral steroids are sometimes used, these have a much higher risk of side effects since they’re going systemically, or to the whole body, instead of just to the lungs.

My cat coughs like this only when he drinks water off the kitchen sink.
Can chlorinated water do this?
