Research Notes on Asthma in Cats
Asthma is one of the most common respiratory diseases of the cat.1 Cats who have asthma may show signs of an obstructed airway or a cough.2 The symptoms may come and go or be persistent.2 The asthma may be triggered by stress or by some change in the environment such as an opening of an attic or basement, a new brand of kitty litter, or a new smoker in the house.2
Fast Facts:
- Cats between the ages of two and eight years are the most likely to develop asthma.1
- Typical symptoms include dyspnea, coughing and/or wheezing.2
- Diagnostic tests are necessary to recognize feline bronchial asthma.2
- Possible treatments include corticosteroids, bronchodilator drugs such as aminophylline or terbutaline, and oxygen.2
