Feline Asthma
The last two days and nights I have sat up with my kitty Miss Muffet who was having difficulty breathing. We originally thought that she was having a hairball incident, since she is a long haired kitty.
Much to our dismay we now find she has asthma and pulmonary hypertension. The vet sent us home with an inhaler, just like people use and also told us that the hypertension is not treatable.
You probably don't know this about me but I am a never say never kind of person.
I looked for some natural and safe remedies that I could try on her. Here are the things I will doing for my kitty.
- Clean the house very well to eliminate any allergens
- Use a portable HEPA filter to clean the air
- Homeopathic remedies designed for pets
- Brush kitty every day
- Avoid feeding processed foods, especially fish
- vacuum and dust daily
I know these steps seem time consuming and many people will opt for the medication. These are effective in the short term, but I am looking for long term benefits. Also the medication needs to be given daily, sometimes more than once a day, limiting any out of town trips. I mean it is really hard to find a pet lover who is going to give the kitty the right care.
What homeopathic remedy will I be using?
Visit my website www.naturalforu.com and look for the page on Holisitc Pet Care and look for the link to PetAlive. They have great information on all natural remedies for your pets. I will be using the AmazaPet remedy.
Stay tuned for further updates.
