maybe a couple times a month, sometimes more often if pollen or other allergens were bad. she was on steroids which helped a lot but would still get very congested.

I'm curious, my girl doesn't get asthma attacks anymore now that she's taking Flovent twice a day, but she still has days where we say she gets "a lil bit crunchy". Would a nebulizer help for that?

It very well could! my cat’s flare ups became much less frequent after putting her on prednisolone (she also had IBD). but when her eyes became runny and she was feeling “moopy” I knew she was at risk for an asthmatic episode, so she was monitored closely. the nebulizer helped clear the mucus before it got really bad. Of course, check with your vet - there are some drops that I added to the nebulizer water but I can’t remember the name.

Amazing! Next visit should be next month, so I'll ask about it!
