Thank you for submitting your question regarding Sweetie. I am glad that she will see her veterinarian for an examination. X-rays are typically of the chest as well. Based on these results, a diagnosis of asthma can be made in most cases. You are correct that inhalers can be used to manage this condition. A steroid inhaler such as fluticasone works well for daily use. This works very well with minimal systemic side effects. However, this medication tends to be very expensive. Albuterol is another medication that can be used in the inhaler. It is not a steroid. This is better for rescue situations such as during an attack. I hope this information helps!

I am so sorry that Spectre is going through this. Albuterol 90 mcg usually just 1 puff is used in cats in times of respiratory distress. I would not wait and I would get her into see an emergency veterinarian immediately. The albuterol will wear off and when it does she needs to either be in an oxygen cage or have enough steroids on board to calm her airways. I would encourage you to discuss an Aerokat mask with your veterinarian as these can be really useful in administering the albuterol to kitties. Also an inhaled steroid may be a good idea as well. Best of luck and I hope she improves soon. Thank you for using Pet Coach.

Albuterol can be used in dogs under the direction and prescription of your veterinarian. A specialized inhaler is needed to administer the medication. Please follow up with your veterinarian to discuss whether or not Gizmo needs this medication and how it should be administered.

Generally speaking, for mild symptoms, Albuterol should be given every 12 hours. Severely affected cats can be given Albuterol every 30 minutes as needed if symptoms are severe. These cats should ideally be in a hospital setting if the symptoms are that severe for every 30 minute administration.

Thank you for using Boop by Petco. Respiratory distress in a bird is an emergency situation. I recommend taking her to an avian veterinarian asap. Keep her in s a warm, draft free, area and limit stress and handling as much as possible until you get her to see the vet. If you do not know of an avian veterinarian, www.aav.org may help you find someone in your area.
