I was put on various medications, including Advair, Spiriva, and
albuterol inhalers, and after a bout with pneumonia in 2004, I was put on oxygen 24/7.
She went in at 29 weeks for a routine pre-natal and mentioned she was using

Bronchodilator
inhalers, such as
Albuterol, are usually the first line of defense.
In Chicago, my kids were using once - a-day Singulair pills; an
inhaler for corticosteroids, like Flovent, to fight underlying lung inflammation; and the occasional
inhaler with a bronchodilator, such as
albuterol, to open up airways if they were coughing or having other symptoms.
This calls for a different treatment: A person uses a rescue
inhaler or nebulizer to administer bronchodilator drugs (such as
albuterol) to open the tight airways.
However, most mild asthma attacks should respond to treatment with an
inhaler or nebulizer containing a bronchodilator, known as rescue medication (the best - known bronchodilator is called
albuterol).
Because
inhalers often contain concentrated doses (often 200 doses in one small vial) of beta - agonist drugs (e.g.,
albuterol) or steroids (e.g., fluticasone), dogs that bite into them are exposed to massive amounts of the drugs all at once.
Corticosteroid
inhalers, Flovent ® being the most popular, are typically used twice daily long term while airway dilator
inhalers such as
albuterol - containing Proventil ® or Ventolin ® are used for flare - ups.
If you see your pet bite into or ingest an
inhaler, or if your pet is experiencing symptoms of
albuterol toxicity, take him to your nearest emergency clinic for immediate care.
