He also scratches right above his eyes. Our local vet has been giving him Depo Medrol Injections about every 2-3 months. It seems to help him very quickly, but now I'm concerened about the long term effects. Do you have an equal alternative?

Theophylline is bronchodilator as is terbutaline. Both used for breathing problems in dogs/cats i.e asthma and/or chronic obstructive airway disease.

Asthma is a common chronic inflammation of the airways characterized by swelling and bronchospasm. The inflammation leads to narrowing of the bronchial tubes, either totally or partially. The result is difficulty in breathing (dyspnea).When the bronchial tubes are chronically inflamed, they tend to be more sensitive to allergens or irritants. For a lot of asthmatics who have grown sick and tired of steroids and their harmful side effects, it is but natural to seek relief from natural sources. This is where mangosteen comes into the picture and it’s quite likely that most asthmatics have already heard or have been taking this wonder fruit as a dietary supplement. However, the hype about the benefits offered by mangosteen to asthmatics is not mere hearsay. Mangosteen has grown in popularity among asthma sufferers because it delivers positive results without any accompanying adverse reactions. Hope this will help more to your readers.
