Hi again. An update to my last post. My cat had a bad bout
of respiratory difficulty over the weekend. An injection of
Dexamethasone provided relief- within 1 1/2 hours- but it doesn't seem to be a longterm solution. My cat is currently on Prednisone 5 mg twice a day, Clavamox 62.5 mg twice a day and
seems to have to have the Dexamethasone shot every couple of days. It's been over three months since he had the two teeth
extracted so it would seem that, according to the vet's diagnosis that my cat is reacting to the bits of bone, tissue
cast off curing the extraction as though it was foreign and having an allergic response to it- that the area would be all
healed by now. If this is asthma, and the vet hasn't said it is, he's just using the asthma med to stop the reaction, then
should not what my cat is taking now keep this under control? I'm not familiar with cats with asthma so I don't know. Do cats who have asthma need a Dexamethasone shot every couple of days as well as Prednisone and Clavamox? I'm desperate for a solution here and am willing to consider anything to suggest to my vet that may help with this. Thank you.
