Hi, I would just comment if you haven't been giving kitty fish just monitor their reaction because some felines do not process fish well despite the cartoons we often see with a kitty and a fish. It can worsen asthma, trigger allergies or cause GI problems. Just an FYI...
@@madisonmoran8892 Is there any particular signs or symptoms that one should look out for?
I would love to copy this for a brief summary of the video. Is there a way I can do that ? I tried to copy and paste and it wouldn't copy at all! Uggh! Nothing came up??

Po polsku proszę.. pilnie..
That is one sweet cat hanging out there!
All cats and all animals are sweet, it's humans who are effed up.
totally...that cat is cool
Raised cats for 30+ years. Thought cough was from hairballs. Thank you for education. Think it is dust under bed. The like to sleep there. Thank you so much for natural remedies.
Welcome
yep...me too. I have met a lot of cats in my life.. never seen this. My cat that adopted me 2yrs ago (one of the best) was just diagnosed with Asthma. She was having about 6 attacks a day all of a sudden. Vet took xrays ..diagnosed Asthma...and gave prednazone immediately. I am tripping out.. what do I do ?
An-T M. Coughing to get a hair ball up is different than wheezing like they are squeezing the last ounce of breath out of their lungs………and won’t be able to then get any air IN.
@@ericchapman9802 give your cat raw and or change the protein source like from chicken to beef or rabbit but slowly.and maybe furrball might aggravate asthma I think
Mullien tea is also brilliant at naturally clearing lung problems in cats. Brew a cup for between 7-12mins for medicinal use. Then let it go luke warm. Then syringe 2-3mls. My cat can go about 3weeks without needing more with this tea. Haven’t been at the vets for breathing difficulties in over a year.
Thank you for posting this with all the details, I'm ordering some right away. 😺
thank you, going to try this!
Hi! May I know what brand you’re using? I’m so glad I found your comment. I hope you can help me out. Thank you!
Do you have an idea if lindens and Hyssop safe for cats? I cant find Mullien tea in my area.
Thanks for this confirmation; I actually went to two health stores, and they were out for Mullien, remembered this herb when I was trying to help a boyfriend break a four pack a day habit with cancerettes, and mullien was most talked about herb. Will go back and order tea, was trying to get tincture, but with the pandemic I think the store shelves in both locations were vacant of the product.
Thank you. Think my Felix has this. Wished all my kitties were this subdued like the one in the video, such a sweetie!
Welcome
Thank you for suggesting natural alternatives! I’m going to try them💜
You're welcome! Let me know how it goes.
No hissing or scratching! Great job Murray.
:-)
That’s brilliant thank you for sharing 🥰
Very much appreciated for the video & info, tips Sir.
Thanks
Thanks a million Doctor ❤❤❤❤
Thanks for your sharing in this video.
Murray looks very helpful
This video has given me renewed hope. My has asthma and has been on prednisolone for a while, I'm not too keen on pumping him with steroids. We also got an inhaler recently. I a haven't seen much improvement, I've been scouring the depths of the internet to find some natural ways to help my little guy.
Tip: Make sure you are not using anything scented (candles, essence/extract diffusers, skin care, cosmetics, etc.) with fragrance. Cats are highly sensitive/allergic and can become very sick over time from breathing these things in. Keep everything unscented product wise. Some cats have severe illness due to prolonged exposure to certain scents that human think smell "pretty".
Thankyou, great info.
HI Dr. Jones I will try what you said! Thanks my female Savannah has Asthma and she is on medication also and I want her to feel wonderful! Thankyou so much!
Great information as my cat has asthma and in the past my veterinarian has given him Prednilsone (Prednisone for cats) but I would much rather do it naturally than with a cortisone that can do damage to other body parts. I as a human have asthma, and prednisone, although I have never had to take it regularly, caused osteopenia...so doing it naturally is far more better for your animal . It is great that we have a veterinarian on youtube, Dr. Jones' telling us what we can do! Thanks Dr. Jones for such "valuable" information.
Thanks Shesa

Hello my friend said you are Jon Moxleys brother. Thank you so much for these videos!
I am not his brother but I'm so glad you like the videos:)
Hi ! Writing this everywhere to help someone maybe: My two cats from different litters started to have asthma randomly and it took me a year to figure out why. I first thought I was unlucky and it was maybe a cleaning product I was using or the dust from the litter and I started to try to change everything in my home, even their food because I thought it could be an allergy. After all this time, I bought a second humidifier because it was still very dry where I lived and I thought the cause could be the dryness. I noticed it was getting worse and after a lot of research (so hard to find info about this), I concluded that it was caused from the hard water in the humidifiers! It creates a white floating dust that animals and children are particularly sensitive to when breathing. When I completely stoped using the humidifiers, the asthma of my cats stopped completely. I hope it helps somebody who is as desperate as I was to find why their cat is having non genetic asthma.
Couldn’t you just use distilled water?
@@rs5570 yes, but you’re supposed to clean it a lot more often since chlorine in tap water helps prevent bacteria a little more. It is suggested to do it everyday because bacterias accumulates very fast in these and it can be harmful for cats and humans too..
Do you think it's harmful to feed the fish oil like a syrup my cat wont eat his food since it's mixed with fish oil
@@biscuit9535 Not harmful but your cat might not be happy haha! Just make sure you're giving the right amount for your cat's weight. But normally if you buy a food a little more expensive, it is supposed to be balanced so you don't have to give any supplements to your cat. Unless it's your vet who told you your cat needed that ?
@@chloeb9325 yup 5 ml alternate days but the thing is that he doesn't eat the whole food when the fish oil is added so I thought of using dropper and feed him like those syrup I usually do. Of course he hates OIL being dropped into his throat😂 there's no other way. I'll do try the normal way but until then should I use dropper for direct intake
The vet told me our cat has the worst asthma he'd ever seen in a cat. We live in N Utah, where we have bad air a lot. I'm going to try these things, because Jinx hates his inhalers, Prednisolone & shots; he's an inside & outside cat; & he's always rolling in the dirt. These things may also help him to be less itchy. Thank you very much for these tips! Murray is spectacular - sounds like he'll eat anything!

❤Thank you so much Doctor❤
I thought my kitten was reverse sneezing. Have been a cat mom for 30+ years and just realized
He was coughing not sneezing. To the veterinarian and indeed it is asthma. 😿 i had no
Idea.
Now searching helpful remedies.
Murray was going after the props! 😄
Just had to come back and leave a comment to say Thank You!!!!!!!! Watched your video about a year ago. After visiting multiple vets, countless tests, steroids, inhalers etc I followed your advice and eliminated carbs (dry food) from my cats diet. I only give her complete wet food meals now. I also changed her cat litter. I thought it was a good quality one but after researching it I found it was not. She had only 1 attack in the last year, and a very mild one. I think she got to my other cats dry food... So thank you again for the advice.
What cat litter do you use now?
@@TheGreenAnnaconda Hi. I use Dr. Elseys Ultra Litter at the moment. She is doing fine with it. I tried an all natural pine tree litter but she didn't like it. I think that would have been better. She is now on a raw diet. And fingers crossed hasn't had an episode in ages.
Did she start reacting to the dry carb free kibble in a negative way? How do you feed the raw diet for your asthmatic cat please? Thanks for sharing ❤
@@yhvhskid Hello. Initially I eliminated all dry kibble and gave her a high quality complete wet food. It contained mainly chicken and some fish or duck. After a while she was doing great but when I introduced a little kibble she would revert back to coughing. I tried multiple brands. After researching raw diet I decided to try it. I found a recipe online and followed the instructions (you need to be careful and add in all the vitamins and minerals they need) I make them in batches and store in the freezer. Thankfully she liked the raw food. I followed the raw diet for about 6-8 months. Nothing else but the raw food (chicken fillet, thighs, bones, a little liver all grinded up, vitamins and minerals). After that I was a bit more relaxed... a caught her eating my other cats kibble. But she was fine so I kept letting her have some. After the 6 - 8 month only raw food period she has mostly high quality commercial wet food, a little raw food and eats kibble from time to time. I have it out for my other cat and she occasionally has some. She has had a few episodes but they are very very mild and not even once a month. I think the period when she was on the raw food kind of served as a reset for her body. My vet thinks I'm crazy but no more cortisone , medications inhalers etc. Hope this helps u with your cat. Its terrible to watch them coughing
Hello! I would like to know what do you feed your cat if he is hungry in- between meals. Although i give mine wet food but in between hours he is always hungry. I give him kibbles to fill him. What's your suggestion?
Thanks for this.
You're welcome!

Our cat has had asthma for a long time. Nothing helped until we tried prednisolone. Helped with inflammation. He went from many cough attacks per day to just one or 2. We slowly waned him off it.
What we currently love and has helped the most is a food from the vet. It's soft food in small cans called c/d (which prevents urinary tract issues) but also helps with stress. The chicken stew one with rice and veggies.
Good luck
My cat died of kidney failure due to being given prednisolone for Asthma,so it's never a good idea to give steroids.Some humans get relief from asthma symptoms by taking homeopathic medicines which are mild and can be taken for a long time without any side effects ,so animals also can benefit from using homeo medicines.
@@CATSFOREVER308 sorry about your cat 😞. Yeah, we've been waning out cat off prednisolone even though there was a clear improvement right away. We lowered the dosage considerably and he's been on 0 for the past few months 👍. Thanks for the advice
@@toblerusseta Thank you for your kind words,yes it is truly heartbreaking,he was a rescue,a peke faced Persian angel.I hope you don't think I am trying to advise you, only a suggestion,but it would be a good idea to get your Kitty's kidney checked,just to make sure this horrible medicine hasn't done any long term damage,kidney disease is a silent killer.
@@CATSFOREVER308no way. my cat was given that recently and she has slowly stopped eating and drinking normally wtf
@@KELLY-bo9qx Yes steroids damage kidneys,so it's better you get her blood tested to see what damage has been done .My cat also would not eat,or poop for a couple of days,we had to take him to the vet for an enima,he was so tired in the end could not even walk,and passed away at night,in the morning we found him in his bed,we thought he was sleeping 😪.These medicines are poison,they do nothing to cure the disease,but his case was so bad nothing else worked for him,so we kept on giving him small doses,because watching him gasp for breath was heartbreaking,since all modern medicine has side effects,we didn't think it would be that bad.
Thanks for this information on natural remedies. Will try them. 👍☺
Welcome
Fortunately, our cats don't have asthma. Now, I will be prepared if it happens. Thank you!
I adopted a 5 year old cat from a shelter in 2017. She is beautiful but developed asthma. The vet charged me 400$ for an xray diagnosed her with asthma and prescribed and anti inflammatory medication. She stopped coughing while on it but as soon as I stop she started again. I was concerned that being on medication constantly would create other health issues. Both lung gold herbal drops it help but she was still coughing. I bought an air purifier washer that cost

tysm!
I found colostrum to really help years ago for a vast that was diagnosed with asthma. Vet said she'd eventually be on inhaler. She lived to be 18 never got on a inhaler.
Hi ! How much colostrum would you give to ur cat on the daily ? Thanks
@@samiaOud I gave her about an eighth of a teaspoon mixed with a little water. You can.
Tell when you've mixed it right because it'll smell like milk.
@@kathrynnard8059 thank you !
Thanks cutie
My cat has asthma for roughly 18 months and it gradually got worse, i came in from popping to the shop yesterday to find my poor Leo dead at 5 years old. He has never been the healthiest of cats bless him and was on steroids full time to reduce the inflammatory on his lungs. I never thought asthma would be the route cause of his death and to find him dead was horrifying. Please be aware that if you looking at these videos because your uncertain if it a hairball or cough etc.. it really is a serious condition and causes your cat great discomfort, get them to the vets. Avoid using aerosols around them, dont use dusty cat litter and there are cat inhalers you can get. Only after loosing him did i realise how serious it was, i was advised by the vets the steroids will shorten his life but my poor boy lost his battle way to early and all it makes you do is look back and think what else you could have done. Avoid that feeling by doing what you can now. RIP Leo x
I'm sorry to hear about the loss of your beloved Leo. My Bobby has been coughing and I am going to have to take him to the vet.
@@RadioPsychicAstrologyByPepper thank you so much, i hope you get your Bobby sorted back to full health.
Sorry for your loss

So sorry about Leo. 🥺
Animal care is a stressful education and painful, too!
RIP, Leo! You are 😍.
Thanks so much for sharing. Could you tell me would A.Vogels Ivy-Thyme be suitable for use with cats or just humans. Off to order fish oil- thank you :)
Nice guy. Thumbs up.
Thanks
Very useful

Hi, i just found your video. About curcumin, can i just give pure curcumin powder? N for honey, is manuka honey umf 5+ ok, or higher like umf 10+ better? Thanks
Our wood burning stove triggered our cat’s asthma.
Just found your site in the last couple days love it awesome for we folks and critters in rural areas
do you suggest food lines for dogs and cats it's so confusing all the things you said about pet allergies seems to be what all the foods are made of....help please please point us in a good direction!!
Thanks
Thank you! I’ve Eliminated as many triggers as possible, they are on a carb free diet, can’t give fish oil as I believe my osh is allergic to fish. I am going to add the curcumin and the honey one at a time. My cat caught but no wheezing. I have 2 docs saying X-rays show asthma and one not convinced that allergy is the source so we have a visit with an internal medicine vet next month and I have seen some good results with radio frequency therapy through a rife machine. I am excited to try the honey and curcumin now. I don’t want to do meds. Thanks again.
Hi music mom, how did the honey and curcumim work out for your kitty?
Toxic mold exposure? Any videos on this? Both cats upper respiratory.
Prednisolone instead of prednisone. Which is best and less dangerous? Cat had an attack with this pandemic vets are not readily available.
Hello, thank you so much for your natural remedies. I would like to try them. I've already eliminated carbs and don't deal with aerosols around her. With regards to your suggestionsour for fish oil, curcumin, and honey. Do we just try one of those at a time to see if they work or any combination of them? This would be really helpful. Thank you so much😊
Hi just wondering if eliminating the carbs is working ?
We have done cat rescue for many years...I'm so glad I found your channel. We do have at least 2 kitties who have sensitivity to the clay litter. I have wondered about the honey as I use this for our human family. Great benefits. Can dogs have honey?
Thank you
Thanks and yes
Veterinary Secrets Thanks so much...guess they will be getting honey and chicken today...Whoo hoo...lol
Have you tried Equine kiln dryed pine pellets. For their litter? several of the shelters use it here . I love it No dust and the saw dust it reverts to is so much lighter to carry. Plus it is biodegradable.
@Edith Davis There's another video someone posted on youtube that talks about using this (the dried part is very important, so all the sap is out of the pine as it's not good for cats otherwise)... in addition to a certain litter box. I've yet to do it, but after watching this video I'm going to try it - at least get some pellets first to see that mine don't mind the odor, and then switch to the box system I saw on youtube.

Nothing is working so I'm here to get help.. On a lot of meds. My nerves are shot with worry.
Thank you! My cat has been coughing and the vet thinks she has asthma. I tried to give her the pills he gave her and she won't take them. Putting them in her mouth is impossible, she just shreds me to pieces and runs off. I've broke them in tiny pieces and tried hiding them in her wet food, and she pushes them aside with her nose and continues eating. I've softened the pills in warm chicken broth and she just ignores it. I've put them in greenies treats and she wants nothing to do with them. I've mixed with her regular treats and she finds it. She knows something is different and is too smart and notices and won't touch them. I've called to vet back and begged for suggestions but they just the say the same things. I want to say to the vet that cats are not dogs and not so eager to eat everything. And here she is, and just continues to cough.
But this has given me some hope. I'm going to try honey right away as that's what I have on hand and can't get to the store soon. Later I will try the other suggestions, like the fish oil too which is more natural for cats, and hopefully will be drawn to. In the mean time I'm switching her over to newspaper cat liter, to reduce dust in her liter. Thankfully no one smokes around her or uses heavy chemicals, etc... house is not too dusty either.
I finely chop up bits of roast beef or roast chicken , mix with the fat from their cooking juices then compress and roll them into treat size balls when they are firm.. i freeze them until needed then take one or two out, defrost and warm slightly, push tablet into the middle then give as a treat! I do the same with cod from the fish and chip shop or battered cod. The squidgy bit between the fish and batter I scrape out. Mix with chopped up cod then roll into balls. Freeze.
Did you try any of this? Any results?
Ask your vet about a compound Pharmacy. They can turn meds into a liquid form and flavor it chicken flavor. Then you can administer w/ a syringe. Much easier than a pill.

Thinking about adopting a four year old with mild asthma. Will the cat out grow it, or she is with it for life?? hope to get an answer, from someone! Thanks for the home remedies!
Thank you for sharing. Looking at additional ways to help control my cat's asthma. He gets a high dose of med and puffer twice a day and he is still wheezing a lot. Will try your suggestions and hope it will help bring inflammation down so he isn't so uncomfortable.
Great- also consider CBD as it has helped some cats with asthma

@@AndreyaWryght Good to hear, I'm sure your pets will be grateful.
Thanks for this info. I noticed my cat is starting coughing a lot and I suspect is asthma, I don't wanna give her steroids because one of my cats die from diabetes last year and she was allergic and treated with steroids in the past so, I'm trying the natural way before taking another step.

I wondered for a couple of years why my cat's hairball coughing wasn't getting better. It turned out that she'd been hacking from asthma so long that it had stressed her lungs. She's all better on prednisolone, but I need to try some of the suggestions.
For the longest I thought my cat had hair ball but the never threw up. She gets low to the ground and coughs, sometimes I can hear her breath heavy.
Hello Dr. Jones, appreciate you and your animal advocacy and education outreach. Regarding EFA's, my cat's hair on her head falls out when she eats fish on a regular basis, so would it be wise to assume that she is allergic and therefore should avoid fish oil as well?
In researching EFA's for cats, found this good article. But wanted to ask you, are the EFA's in ground flax, pumpkin, sunflower and hemp powder equally beneficial to the oils of the same plants if freshly ground (maybe better in weekly batches)? I tried giving my cat honey. She puked up 4 gigantic hair balls. Wow this should definitely be recommended for hair balls over petroleum based jelly!!! Hairballs isn't the overall problem, I think she has asthma, but it was shocking to see that and it's good to get them out of her. So give cats curcumin with our without ground pepper? How do you administer it at home? I tried turmeric powder and she won't eat anything with it in it. Even in micro-doses. What about tea or tincture? And how would you calculate dosage? May have to give it to her in a syringe though. Also what are your thoughts about ginger for cats? Thank you

im about to give my cat cod liver oil right now!!
Thank you, truly. I’ve been terrified for my kitty because of her recent coughing fits and I suspect asthma. My dad is only letting us go to the vet after he is home (two weeks) and I’m so scared something horrible might happen in that time. Would these supplements or/ and Mullien extract be safe even if it ends up not being asthma??
Loui was in a fire last year and I was told to keep him on doxycycline for a couple months and I did. I hadn't treated him in about a month and tonight I came home to him fast breathing and lungs filled with fluid and very lethargic limp like he is dying. :'(
Is your cat on corticosteroïds? Allergic reactions can be triggered by numerous things like dust, dustmites, grasspolls, spraycans like hairspray and deodorant, parfumes, et cetera. You can also put blankets in the freezer for 48 hours to kill the dustmites (allergic reactions can get triggered by dustmite faeces) and wash it afterwards. A dryer can also remove some dust out of the blankets. Shake out the blankets outside of your house and repeat it every 2 weeks / month. The last tip I can give isn't a cheap one, but a ionic purifier can help too.
how much in teaspoon measurements is the advised dose of curcumin 95 and is it bitter
I live in the desert and have sand EVERYWHERE. I was using a clumping liter but my 19 year old cat has thyroid issues with hypokalemia and is constantly drinking and peeing. Sooo poor guy would look like he had cement shoes on from standing in the puddle and collecting the liter. The stuff was very hard to remove from his paws and I was concerned about him ingesting it. Decided sand is natural and clean and in abundance here. I change 2 x daily, but he has a dry hacking cough that does not seem produce anything. I also treat for hair balls regularly and brush him daily. Do you think his cough is asthma. I did attempt fish oil but after a week we had vomiting, diarrhea and dehydration as a result, stopped fish oil and after a couple days back to normal"
a lot of money. It helped but she was still coughing. The vet said her asthma was incurable and that she needed a vaporiser. She was addicted to Greenies and Temptations and that is all she wanted to eat. We decided to stop them and guess what? It went again completely. If your cat suffers from asthma that is the first thing you should do stop the treats they are bad for them.
some good treats are freeze dried meat, orijen makes them. i recommend them if your kitty wants some still
Thank you. My cat is spoiled and gets lots of treats, I'll eliminate them and see if that helps.
Thanks I’ll stop treats too he was eating DENTALIFE
No issues still after removing greenies?

Is it okay to give the cat 95%curcumin mixed with black pepper and curcuma longa root extract? Because that the one available in my country easily!
Are you related to the WWE Superstar Dean Ambrose? Aside, thank you so much for the excellent video.
You're welcome! I get that a lot but nope, not related in anyway. I only found out who Dean Ambrose is when people started commenting here. lol
@Lisa rosso It is how he looks. His last name isn’t Ambrose. Lol
Would salmon oil be ok as the fish oil, my cats recently got asthma and I’m trying to work a plan out, he does have chicken kibble in his food I’m wondering if I should remove it now after listening to the advise.
Eliminating means canned food than dry food but also vet said obese cat more chance for asthma.
So vet prescribed a dry food weight loss food. Should we continue to feed it or change to all grain free canned food?
Is oral steroid only remedy?
Steroid is bad for long so..
What fish oil brand do you recommend ?

Hello
Took my cat Sqeek to the vet last week and had xrays showing inflamation in his lungs, she gave him two shots for asthma and 5 days later he is doing pretty good. i am concerned about putting him on an inhaler, i have purchased a good hepa filter air purifier and a humidifier because my furnace dosent have a humidifier... trying to keep above 40%. i am wondering if i should try just one of your natural remedies or can i try a couple? i started giving honey with food and today i purchased some fish oil tablets.
Thanks for your time
Hi Rick- yes the fish oil is a great idea, honey will help symptomatically. You can talk to your vet about wanting to try the licorice The steroid shots may last 6-8 weeks, so that is when you can see if the other remedies are helping
Thanks for the reply, So Honey only When he has the cough not every day? Whats licorice, sorry to bug u again, :Edit so the licorice is an alternative to the Curcumin?
Tip: Make sure you are not using anything scented (candles, essence/extract diffusers, skin care, cosmetics, etc.) with fragrance. Cats are highly sensitive/allergic and can become very sick over time from breathing these things in. Keep everything unscented product wise. Some cats have severe illness due to prolonged exposure to certain scents that human think smell "pretty".
Thank you sir for suggesting natural medication like honey one out side cat is coughing i will try with honey but i don't know how many days we have to give please mention next time

Should I get honey made especially for cats and dogs or is wild honey safe by wild honey I meant organic especially anti bacterial made honey? Thanks for your informations its really really helpful
It's fine for topical treatment, not recommended to ingest.
How much turmeric would you administer for a 4kg cat?
Use curcumin with black pepper. Turmeric is the long way to get curcumin.
Thank you for sharing the tips. May I ask if Manuka honey is any good for cats? Do you think it is better or worse? If my kitty’s cough is not an asthma, can I still offer him honey in general? Thank you again.
Yes Manuka is great
@@VeterinarySecrets thanks for the reply. I have also read some info saying not recommend offering honey/manuka honey to feline?
You're right I was wondering what was wrong with my cat I did think she was had a hairball or worse yet I thought she was choking on a bone from a mouse that she killed her something good to know that she most likely has asthma now you didn't make it clear did you want us to use the unpasteurized honey or regular honey can I also give my cat tuna fish in oil will that help
I have a couple of questions if you don't mind me asking. What type of cat litter would you recommend? Also, would CBD help at all? And yes, that is one sweet kitty!
Dr Elseys respiratory relief cat litter
why in the fuck would you give your cat cbd
My cat was diagnosed with Diabetes and hyperthyroidism about 2 1/2 years ago and then later asthma was told to give Zyrtec one tab 5 mg once a day of of course take blood sugar I have gotten his blood sugar under control two times then came the pandemic ugh ! About 2 wks ago I took him back again for blood work and a fructosimine added on. I was a vet tech for years ,so I do understand alot of things. I have a different vet the original vet left the practice when blood work came back I was told to increase the methimazole from 1 1/2 a day to 2 a day .and 2 Zyrtec a day one of my questions to you is shall I give him the 2 Zyrtec
In the morning when I give him his first dose of methimazole . He is coughing alot now more than before I do understand as the Doc told me allergies for everyone is bad this year having a tough time getting through to her , should I give the Zyrtec 2 pills in morning and could you recommend some home remedies or should I worry more ugh .I'm due for more blood and recheck in Middle of October .
I saw a vid a few days ago where I noticed a comment where someone recommended paracetamol when the coughing gets worse. Please understand that cats don't have the enzyms to break down the metabolyt and kills your cat! I don't know how the person comes to that conclusion, but never ever give paracetamol to your cat. Acetylsalicylacid (better known as asperine) is only give as an anticoagulanitic med, but never as a treatment against asthma.

Though honestly was for cats
Cucumin for cats... 19 year old still move able and fiesty at her own time, yet very sleepy lots...clearing through t sometimes sounds to mama closing and opening of air way as to coughing up food...vets only for immunity here with me, any ideas are invited...thanks for share
Sir my cat is having cough since from two years.. Earlier she get recover by herself but now... Recovery is not there... Her breathing sound come when she rests... Heavy voice..
Would salmon oil do the job too? Also, I'm thinking a diffuser might be helpful...what do you think? Which essential oils would be best? And lastly, I tried a couple of time to subscribe to your newsletter and download your manual but it just won't work 🤷🏻 what am I doing wrong? Greetings from Berlin
Never diffuse essential oils of any kind into the air with asthma.
Ich habe mehrmals gelesen, dass "essential" Öle für Katzen meistens giftig sind. Lieber ausführlich im Internet nachlesen. Lemongrass sollte aber gehen. Wie gesagt, lieber gut nachlesen. LG aus Montreal!
@@karimatz danke für deine Nachricht! Ich habe manchmal Pfefferminzöl benutzt - das fand Katzi toll und versuchte immer wieder in den Diffuser zu klettern.. die kleine Süße.. ich vermisse sie sehr.
My hyperthyroid cat (who also has asthma, I think) is so danged picky that he won't eat his food If I put ANYthing on it! He lives on 2% organic milk, cat treats and a little bit of raw diced beef....mainly licks it dry and eats very little of it. He's not spoiled, just been like this for about 6 months, when he got very depleted and lost almost three pounds from eating (and then throwing up) dry kibble. If I don't get him what he CAN hold down, he'll still eat the kibble that's there for the other cats and immediately throw it right back up. I say I think he has asthma, but the vet can't tell and puts him on prednisolone when it gets worse at times. Anyway, I can't add anything to his food or he won't eat at all. The vet suggested goat milk instead of cow milk, just because she said it might be better. He walked up to the bowl, sniffed it and looked at me like "WTH is THIS?" before walking away. I read that Epsom salt is supposed to be good for asthma in people, but it didn't say how to use it (whether internally or soaking or what) so I came here, hoping to see something about it. Thanks for your information... cats, like everyone else, are individuals, and don't all agree with what we try to do for them. I can buy all the probiotic stuff in the world and this old boy is not going to be swayed! Thanks for all you do! Love your videos!
Hi Marcy - how is the Hyperthyroid being treated? Radioactive iodine is a good option. As for diet see if you can transition to some type of canned/raw food and off the kibble. As for asthma, consider oral 95% curcumin- can be mixed into canned food
Has anyone tried colloidal silver for feline asthma or respiratory issues?
Good question. I've tried all of these fine tips, but nothing is helping.
Already been to a vet, she said it wasn't Asthma, it looks like it's getting worse sometimes
how is your cat now? my first vet said its not asthma too after running bloodworks. when i took him to another vet, he just took an xray and diagnosed him with asthma. now he is better with medication.
@@leylayasar86 She's better, no more sign of Asthma or anything, thank god she's normal now haha
omg please, my cat is retching, gagging, coughing. What do I do for him?
My cat was diagnosed with asthma this past week. She has heavy breathing that can be seen with her abdomen movement. She also has grunting/wheezing sounds when breathing. I initially took her to vet because she i noticed she began loosing weight. She was a 18 pound cat at the first of the year and she is down to 11.8 pounds now. Doctor prescribed her liquid prednisone to follow that up with getting an Aerokat inhaler. Haven't really noticed any difference since she has been on the prednisone, so i will be contacting vet again Monday about that. My question also is that she doesn't have any coughing at all. Could they have asthma without the cough? The did an xray on her when she was diagnosed. Also, is there a connection between her asmtha and weight loss? Thanks, and I plan on trying you advice and tips. I enjoy your videos.

What did you find out? My cat has bronchitis and her cough stopped also but she isnt eating and her bones are sticking out. She also has kidney issues but the weight loss started with the breathing issues.
Your the best my cat was so bad. Had to give her oxygen.curcumin works . Thank you DoctorJones
Thanks for this. I just adopted a cat that appears to have asthma. He coughs and his breathing is rough sometimes. My previous cat had it so I have an inhaler if it's needed. But this cat is FIV positive and I hesitate giving him steroids because of that disorder. Are these remedies safe for FIV positive cat?
tag me please when there is an answer to this.
Yes my cat has FiV too
I am also in this boat
My cat has FIV too and we tried the steroids. first time he responded. Dr Johns lindens and Hyssop safe for cats?

Please help sir... Please.
I think my cats are allergic to seafood, what other omegas would you recommend? also, they were diagnosed with asthma but i think it’s due to an allergy, is this possible? i tried giving them the inhaler but one started breathing weird, not sure if that’s the right move...

I was wondering if my cat might have asthma- looks like she does, based on some videos I've seen of other cats doing exactly what she does. Unfortunately, my other cat has begun this a bit as well. So, now I'm wondering if it's something in my apartment. I also have horrible allergies, but that been my whole life. So, it's hard to tell. I wish I could afford to get them checked out. Last time I took them to the vet, the more severe one freaked out and the vet decided not to do any testing. So, I was left without any answers, because she got too stressed being there. It's so hard trying to balance health and finances. I struggle with this myself, as well, but they have the added issue of not being able to communicate when they're unwell.
@Abra Morgan I replied to someone else with this, and will the same to you. while the doctor does recommend getting them on steroids first, if you don't have the money (sometimes there are county vet centers that give discounts - here in the US at least, you'd have to call) ... I'd follow the other suggestions he poses in the video above. There's also this: www.theonlinevet.com/index.php# so check that out for ways to help your cat yourself. With my prior cat I had to learn the hard way that I had to be the advocate for him, pay attention and not just lean on traditional veterinarian treatments. I was able to extend his life by another 2 years, when that vet had said he had less than a month... but if I'd figured out things sooner I'd have had him even longer than that. All my best to you. Don't give up - watch the video above and click that link I included.
Same here. My kitty puts her stomach on the ground and shrugs her shoulders and coughs for a long time. My suggestion is to take a video next time it happens so that the vet can confirm if it is indeed an asthma attack.

Hi there is a street cat who has asthma I would like to give her CBD oil I have Medihemp %10 But what must the dosage for 4 kilogram cat ?

Hi Lorraine - may be an interdigital cyst. Best to soak twice daily, apply how compress

Hi there, wonderful video! do you have a brand of curcumin you'd recommend? I found one with turmeric, Ginger, and black pepper, but I'm not sure if that's safe for cats. Also unsure of how to divide doses with capsules. Thank you!!
Thanks- not once specific brand
Fairly certain Curcumin is Tumeric, as Tumeric is known for it's curcuminoids. I take it for chronic pain as an anti-inflammatory. I get Youtheory 1000mg capsules at Costco. You can find them at Vitamin Shoppe, GNC, Kroger, any pharmacy really. You will want to have a small digital food scale though to weigh the powder you break out of the capsules. Sprinkle in with fresh chicken hearts or livers, or a can of food.
How do you gave it to your cat..simply in food

HELP! I adopted a new kitty just a few months ago, and of course was lied to about her bring perfectly healthy. I noticed right away that she has these coughing spells several times a day, usually when she first wakes up, sometimes after running around too long. It's more like she's trying to cough up a hairball for 20-60 seconds. I just noticed today that she was breathing much faster than she should have been, given she was laying down half asleep.
I would have rushed her to the vet immediately when I got her, had it not been for a few obstacles & concerns:
1. When I transferred her here & since tried twice to get her back in a carrier, she literally FLIPS OUT & starts panting, kicking, puking, howling like a banshee, and generally sending me into a panic attack along with her. I am extremely worried her already labored breathing will become life-threatening when stressed.
2. Funds. I live on disability & am never able to come up with more than $50 a month for anything, much less however much all those tests would cost. It's impossible for people like me (millennial disabled for 24yrs) to have any kind of credit cards, including the pets one.
So I came to YT hoping to find a DIY at home remedy or 2 I could try, at least to ease her struggles for now. Please help with any suggestions! 💕🙏😿🐾
Hey! My cat also has extreme anxiety when it comes to their carrier, but PLEASE do not let this stop you from going to the vet with them. Try asking them for medication that calms the cat down a bit and give it to your cat a bit before putting them in the carrier. I know it breaks your heart seeing them so scared but not going to the vet will just cause more problems! if you have trouble getting them into the carrier I suggest buying one that can also be opened at the top. Maybe you will get your kitten in better.
@@jbently5303 I've actually tried that before, but didn't get anywhere, no more than $10 raised, despite trying to promote it. I'm pretty invisible online, so it's hard to fundraise...
Sounds like asthma. My cat does the same thing. Don’t use anything scented in the house, get special laundry cleaning product for bedding.
You can find products and resources by searching for human asthma info. Try to get a hepa filter, I have 6 of them, seems to help.
Heartbreakingly, I lost my boy Vester to lung cancer. He was presenting signs of asthma. They gave him 5 months that turned into 2 and he died 26 days after being diagnosed. They really can't tell you but, had I known it was worse than they said I would have put him to sleep sooner. He was on a nebulizer and all seemed well. He was my better half, as all our babies are.
I'm so sorry to hear that, Sharon.
@@VeterinarySecrets thank you. That's much appreciated.
Why does reducing dry food helps in asthma
My cat has been eating lost of grass sounds like she is trying to cough up something
I know video is several years old, but does anyone have tips on how to get a kitty to eat honey? One of my boys (the one without asthma) loves sweets, but one with asthma eats all the way around it. I got local sourced honey, he just ain't havin' it!
Can you treat cat asthma naturally like this without ever having to give them steroids?
