I've started my cat on inhaled corticosteroids and rescue inhaler but she's still have constant stochastic asthma attacks?
What do you guys give your asthmatic kitties and how did you get them in a good place with prevention? We have the fancy AeroKat chamber and she does tolerate it (I can see the indicators flapping demonstrating she is inhaling properly)
She's on
- 110mcg fluticasone 2x/day before food
- 100mcg salbutamol~1-3x day right now
She weighs around 9lbs

While always true, feline asthma is something a lot of vets handle vastly different. So, hearing about how other people roll with it can have a great benefit (given you do not simply change medications by yourself, but propose other plans to your vet!)
I would definitely get some ideas from the Internet, but verify them with a vet afterwards. If you feel like your current vets advice isn't working don't be afraid to get a second opinion from a different vet (it's what I would do with a human doctor as well).
Very true, i had a vet that barely looked at my cat and after getting a second opinion and looking things up online, i realized that he sucked.
His vet closed a year after. Def not a bad idea to hear others experiences
