The videos are very helpful. I finally got her to inhale the medication today. I have to say she doesn’t voluntarily put her face in the mask. I have to hold it there. Also, my cat is overweight so I can’t give her that many treats. Now I have to work on her weight.
How can you keep depressing the inhaler, it costs a fortune. I first used this with my asthmatic cat years ago. We did it with two people and held her. After a few times she let me do it alone but she never put her face in it and she was ok with doing it that way. Now I have a cat with toxo pneumonia and possible asthma. I do not have time to do extensive training. He needs the meds asap.
Hi there - we understand how frightening a sick cat can be. We encourage you to continue to use the AeroKat* Chamber to give your cat medications as it delivers more medication to your cats' lungs. Most cats learn to use the spacer in 4-6 days with training. Wishing your little one a speedy recovery.
My cat uses the flovent inhaler. My vet says I can give him an albuterop inhaler when he is having an asthma attack. My question is, do I have to clean the aerokat in between each use? If I use the aerokat primarily for flovent, but he has an asthma attack, can I use the albuterol in the same chamber without having to clean the chamber?

Great instructions, How long does it usually take to teach all of these steps to the cat? My cat is really a sensitive soul :)

Hi. Both medications can be used with the AeroKat* chamber without cleaning between each use. We recommend cleaning the device weekly.
