The main goal of the medicines given for the treatment of feline asthma is to control the release of secretions, better the airflow and considerably reduce the symptoms associated with this condition. In usual cases, cats are treated with a series of medicines that are given through a metered dose inhaler. This inhaler allows the medicines to reach directly into the lungs.
The most typical inhaler is Albuterol which acts as a potent bronchodilator that can be easily inhaled through an inhaler. Corticosteroid, such as fluticasone, can be essentially used as a strong inhaler for immediate relief from this condition. Further, cats distressed with severe forms of breathing troubles are given oral forms of medicines for a certain period of time, until the symptoms of asthma start reducing. One of the most common forms of oral steroids is prednisone which is continuously given for a period of 10-14 days.
In case, all the above forms of primary treatments fail to offer relief, Aerokat inhaler is prescribed. This inhaler is rich in bronchodilators and fluticasone which are strong drugs used for the clearance of airways. It is essential to familiarize the cat with the treatment by positioning a mask portion over the nasal openings for a period of two-three seconds and then give the medicines. |
