28. My little girl kitty Nora has asthma

She is a FIP survivor. At only 2 1/2 she has been emergency hospitalized 4 times this past year with nearly fatal pulmonary failure. We give her inhaler “puffs” twice a day and reward her with treats. We used Delectables for months but they changed the packaging/product 6 weeks ago. We mix other crushed meds in her treats so we had to find a replacement and landed on Churro. I just had her evaluated and tested at length at the U of Minn vet hospital. Much $. I can’t even tell my husband or others how much $.

I know how difficult this can be. I gave my former Siamese boy baby food and liver when he had cancer and quit eating. He went to the Rainbow Bridge at age 20 and I am right now tearing up writing this.

They are so precious. We love them so. Good luck.
