This is what it looks like when a cat has asthma. It looks like a cat trying to hack up a hair ball but no hair ball is ever produced. Our cat had it at an early age but his hacking episodes were not frequent in the beginning. The older he got, the more frequent his episodes became. He was hacking throughout the day and Vet tried X-Rays, blood tests and Hair Ball medicine. We went to the specialist and suggested to him also that it could possibly be feline asthma. The specialist wanted to conduct $3000 worth of tests which none of them included testing for asthma. We didn't do the expensive tests and he agreed to give us the inhaler. After a couple of treatments of the asthma inhaler, our cats asthma symptoms were gone. He stopped hacking immediately. We had to order the AeroKat which is a Feline Aerosol Chamber which allows you to administer the medicine (AeroKat.com). The medication is an inhaler called Fluticasone Propionate Ihalation IP 125 mcg/dose (Flohale Generic). We give him 2 to 3 puffs twice daily, 12 hours a part. The medicine we order is expensive in the United States so we have to order it from a Candian Pharmacy. We order from canadadrugsonline.com or call 877-900-3784 and get 6 months of medication for around $120. In the United States it would cost us about $80 a month. The AeroKat cost about $30 and we have been using the same one for 2 years now and it's still working great. I have learned a couple of things to help your cat with asthma attacks. 1st you <b>...</b>
