    Hi There!

    Quick question: Cleo takes 1ml of pred. for asthma every evening between 7-9 pm. I have just (tonight) started her insulin shots....7:30 time. In that, how long should I wait or do I have to wait at all to give her the pred? Anyone with experience in this??

    Let me know! Thanks SO much!!!

    Hi. Sorry but I cannot answer your question. I just wanted to share this link: If you have not already seen it, there may be some helpful tips in it for you. (I also have a cat with asthma.)

    I am very familiar with asthma. My kitty has had it for 2 years and has been on pred during this time. However, I am NEW to diabetes and am curious as to the length of time between giving insulin and pred.

    I will just my vet and will update with answer, in hopes this info might be helpful to others.

    Thanks again. Hope all is well with everyone.

    Sorry, I was not trying to insult your experience with asthma. I just thought you might be able to get some tips from the video since you mentioned that your cat is on a steroid for it. The video mentions those being used for a crisis but being short term until the trigger for the crises can be diagnosed and addressed.

    FYI: I just spoke with my vet. It is fine to give insulin and prednisolone around the same time. :D

    I hope this information is helpful for someone in the future. :cat:

    @Jenafur & Cleo @Jill & Jade How is Cleo doing? It's been 2 weeks with no update and I am curious about what's happening and her treatment. The signature or spreadsheet didn't get set up. I hope all is well and Cleo is doing better.
