Feline asthma affects 1–5% of cats and causes wheezing, coughing, and breathing difficulty from airway inflammation. Long-term treatment involves corticosteroids (oral prednisone or inhaled fluticasone) and bronchodilators (albuterol inhaler for emergencies). Monthly costs range from $50–$200 depending on the treatment approach. Inhaled therapy using an AeroKat spacer is preferred for fewer systemic side effects.

Dear Pet Owner,
Looking for cat asthma treatment? Costs can vary significantly between clinics. One clinic may charge $50 while a specialty practice might charge $200. Both may offer quality care — the key is knowing your options.
Inhaled therapy (fluticasone + AeroKat chamber) costs $80–$150/month and has fewer long-term side effects than oral steroids. Oral prednisolone costs $20–$40/month but causes more systemic effects with long-term use. Keep an albuterol inhaler on hand for asthma attacks ($25–$60).
Long-term corticosteroid therapy, bronchodilator for emergencies, AeroKat inhaler spacer device, allergen/trigger avoidance recommendations, and regular monitoring visits.
