Flixotide (fluticasone) and Ventolin (albuterol) are different drugs with different doses in dogs. It is not recommended to switch or medicate your dog with a different drug without first contacting your veterinarian. Ideally, if you can refill the original prescription, that should be the first option. If your veterinarian is unavailable or if there are no more refills on the prescription, then you'll likely need to have Maisy rechecked before a new prescription or different medication is dispensed. Legally, we are prohibited from recommending doses or different medication in the absence of a physical exam and a patient-veterinarian-client relationship.

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.

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.

As long as it isn't dusty I don't think it should be a problem. And the albuterol syrup marked 'as needed' should be give when she needs it if there are no more specific instructions than that, so yes, if she starts coughing, give her a dose.

There is no specifically worked out dosage for albuterol in cats, but it can be safely given to children up to 4 times daily, so we can extrapolate from that. I know you will be concerned but I really don't think any harm will have been done.
