Cat Asthma-cost of diagnosis and treatment?
I think my cat has asthma. I've watched videos of it and its exactly what she does. I have to bring her to a vet to get her properly diagnosed to make sure its not something else. What are the costs involved with this? I beleive if it is asthma that it is mild/moderate. She will wake up coughing. I think they'll give her an chest xray. What will the diagnosis and her treatment cost?
WIll this cost 200 or 1000$ is basically what I'm asking. My cat has been healthy her life and fortunantly I have had to bring her to the vet for many many years. So I really uneducated about vet fees.
Sorry shes been very healthy, and I have Not had to bring her to the vet for many years

It depends. Every vet has different costs. They might have you give her meds. I'm not sure about costs & such. I'm sorry I can't be of more help.

Usually they do call for chest x-rays to see if they have asthma. Some cats go on prednisone, some need nebulizer treatments from time to time, and I'm sure there are other alternatives. Prednisone would be a fairly inexpensive prescription, but your vet will know what is best for your cat.

Oh grow up. You know very well that different vets charge different amounts, depending on the area you are in and also how severe the problem is with your cat. Why are you whining to strangers on the internet instead of picking up the phone and asking your VET?! You're going to be paying HIM, not us!

I'm sure everywhere charges similar amounts. I've never had to have a procedure like this done on any of my pets. I hope your kitty gets well.

Hi there...prices do vary from clinic and within the region as well. Consider ringing various clinics and ask who specializes in pulmonary disorders as they would be able to help you best in evaluating your cat's breathing disorder if it happens to be something other than asthma.
