I have had my cat tested for other things, including heartworm, and he is healthy with all indications pointing to feline asthma. He is getting to the point where I need to put him on some type of medication. I know an inhalor won’t work with him, so I think my only option left is the steriod type medication. Has anyone tried this and had success?
Thanks for the great advice. My kitty is an indoor cat and overweight. I am trying to get him thinner, so perhaps that will help. I want the medication to be my last resort because of the side effects.

My dog has bad skin allergies and seborrhea during certain times of the year. He loses a lot of his hair and gets hot spots from all the scratching. I bathe him in a medicated shampoo prescribed by the veterinarian (which I tend to think dries out his skin more), use a hot spot spray 2 or 3 times a day, and give him medicine daily. I have been keeping him in the house, but sometimes his smell is so bad that I have to spray air freshener all over the house.
