Feline Asthma-Miss Muffet
Pets are a wonderful addition to our lives, until they become ill. This week Miss Muffet my five year long hair kitty started coughing and choking. We rushed her to the emergency vet, (it was after hours of course). The vet diagnosed her as having asthma and pulmonary hypertension.
I did a lot of searching on the internet to see what I could find out. I learned that both conditions are potentially life threatening. This is a little, well a lot scary for us. We began following the vets protocol, despite my aversion to using drugs. The results, while somewhat slow, are measurable in a positive direction.
I am still very much interested in holistic health care for my kitty, but sometimes you have to use traditional medicine in emergency situations. That is where balance is needed with complimentary therapies.
Here are the natural steps I am doing.
- Change cat litter to low dust and fragrance free.
- Avoid feeding foods with fish in them
- Feed only unproccessed food
- Use a HEPA style vacuum
- Support immune system function
- Try Feline Acupuncture from a qualified vet
I have put all of these into practice as of today and I am hoping to see good results from these positive changes.
