Timeframe for improvement w/ liquid prednisolone cat w/ mild asthma

Thanks for reaching out with your question about your cat's asthma and prednisolone treatment. I'm glad to help!



When treating a cat with mild asthma using liquid prednisolone, it’s important to understand that the timeframe for improvement can vary. Generally, you might notice some improvements in symptoms within a few days to a week of starting the medication. Prednisolone works by reducing inflammation in your cat’s airways, helping them breathe easier.



To support your cat at home, try to maintain a clean, dust-free environment, and reduce exposure to potential allergens like smoke or strong scents. Consider using a HEPA air purifier to improve air quality.



Keep an eye out for any signs that might indicate a more serious issue. If your cat's breathing becomes labored, you notice persistent coughing or wheezing, or they appear unusually lethargic, these could be signs that require prompt attention.



If you don’t see improvement within a week or if symptoms seem to worsen, it's important to talk with a vet about the situation. I recommend scheduling a video consult with one of our veterinarians on Dial A Vet to ensure your cat receives the best care and advice tailored to their specific needs.
