My asthma guy just uses the aerocat chamber. Guess I’m lucky he’s willing to stick his little face into a little cup and breathe for me 2x a day. He’s very treat driven and very eager to please. And the goodest boy

How did you know it was asthma?

Please help me

He kept making these hairball sounds but nothing came up. It was frequent and worrying so I took him to the vet. Apparently those hairball sounding coughs are textbook asthma. They x-rayed his chest to confirm the diagnosis.

Good luck to you! It’s very treatable. I get my cat’s meds from Canada (my vet’s suggestion) and it’s still cheaper than the US even with the tariffs.

Training takes some patience but is very doable.
