CATDOLL : How to care for a cat with asthma?

Cat asthma care tips:

1. When treating a cat, be as gentle as possible to prevent rough movements from causing strong resistance and stress reactions in the cat. If the cat's condition has been very unstable, consider postponing the examination, try to stabilize it, and take sedative measures if necessary.

2. When a cat has an asthma attack, it is relatively short of oxygen. You can give it flowing oxygen to relieve its symptoms of difficulty breathing and shortness of breath.

3. If the cat's asthma is severe and relapses frequently, long-term oral prednisolone can be used to control it, but the lowest dose that can control the condition must be determined first. Choose the lowest dose while ensuring that the condition can be stably controlled.

4. Choose cat litter with less dust, minimize the use of fragrances, air fresheners, styling sprays, etc., or avoid cats when using them.

5. In daily life, pay attention to indoor cleanliness, try not to use carpets, and use an air purifier to keep the indoor air fresh and unobstructed.
