[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 140528, member: 1233"] NOT had it get WORSE! thank you's allergies and food sensitivities have gotten so much better. In the past, very few asthma medications worked for more than a few weeks. MOST didn't work that long. And we gave the preventatives 3-4 months to see if they would help before switching. So, he was feeling rotten this am. Actually was really nasty in mouthing off to me. So I made him stop and talk to me. He started crying cause he felt rotten (looked rotten too!) We have always had a cat or 2, and he did NOT react to them on the allergy testing. HE also hasn't been near Capn Morgan much. The first week I usually keep them in the bathroom, esp if we have to wait to get into the vet. He was checked at the pound, but I want MY vet to check him. thank you has not been in to see the cat too much. And is not coughing or sneezing or wheezing when he comes out. Or when he is in with the cat. But, this am, the doctor says he was WHEEZING. He never ever had wheezing at a doctor appointment, even in full blown coughing spasm asthma attack when much younger. We are now trying advair, an albuterol inhaler (the nebulizer never helped, but this seems to with a spacer), and some nasal allergy spray (steroid of some kind because NOTHING but benadryl has helped with his allergies. Well, zyrtec knocks him out for a few days at a time, but we may try it anyway. SO I am dumbfounded. The only thing that helped in the past was a session in the bathroom with the hot water running in the shower for steam. Any home remedies or other advice? Cause he sure isn't growing out of this, it is getting worse! Thanks a bunch. Susie [/QUOTE]
