Inhalation therapy for cats with chronic pulmonary disease. One in every 100 cats will develop asthma! The RC-Animal Chamber® CAT makes possible the gentle and effective treatment of feline asthma with medication sprays.
In human medicine, the treatment of respiratory diseases with medication sprays has long been a common practice. The advantages of drug inhalation are evident, especially when compared to the earlier customary administration of drugs in the form of tablets or injections:
- The active agent travels deeply into the respiratory tract
- The drug works directly at the location of illness (the lungs)
- Cortisone can be dispensed at lower doses when using metered-dose inhalers
- The serious side effects of cortisone shots or tablets are no longer a concern
Inhalation therapy is used for cats with chronic respiratory diseases. Among these, feline asthma is by far the most common illness. Symptoms range from regular coughing episodes to attacks of shortness of breath, often when contact is made with triggering allergens.
However, the diagnosis of feline asthma should not be readily made by laypersons.
We recommend instead that you discuss the use of inhalation therapy with your veterinarian!
Metered-dose inhalers for therapy of chronic respiratory diseases are available as human preparations. These include drugs containing cortisone (e.g. Flutide) that work as anti-inflammatories, and bronchodilators (e.g. Sultanol) that work by dilating the bronchi. There are also preparations that combine both types of active agents.
All common metered-dose inhalers are fundamentally compatible with the RC-Animal Chamber® CAT. However, we do not recommend the use of any specific medication. You should talk with your veterinarian about the therapy for your cat!
At present, there are no medicated sprays on the market with veterinarian approval. Therefore, in order to be used on animals, a reclassification of human drugs is required. Talk to your veterinarian about your medication options!
