I feel so horrid. (sorry long post by the time I finished)

Marble tries to get away from me, probably due to twice daily attachment to a plastic thing forced onto his nose (twice) and then forced to breath in some foul smelling foreign something. First from a blue thing, and then a brown thing stuck on the end of this clear plastic thing.
I keep reminding myself that the heart specialist said she has known cats 'ask' for their inhaler when they have needed it.

This morning i kept the curtains shut, lights off, let them have a run around the dining room, put pellets on the carpet, and had some noserubs first, but it didnt help!
Add to that, Bobby (cute looking, but far from it) dog is and always has been, jealous of attention given to other pets, starts up his whining, barking and strange growl. Unfortunately this wonderful architect decided all rooms downstairs should be divided by an archway, rather than door.
I need help to know how to securly wrap Marble, cause one scrabble, and he is off and out of the wrap. I know my son was really good at helping, but 1 giant horrid must be less stressful than 2!
Today i was knelt on the floor, bunnys bum under me, and holding him firmly behind his ears. :(. I could cry :cry: Is this really fair to Marble? He has this twice a day. :cry:.
 
Poor Marble :(
Could you get a stair-gate to shut your dog away in, or maybe when he goes for his walk see to Marble then?

Sorry if I'm not much help :(
*Vibes* for Marble x

He is gated into the kitchen, but although i am superwoman, i cant walk bobby and do marbles inhaler.
If i shut him in the garden he barks so much it upsets the neighbours, as this is whats been happening this last month whilst Marble has had other medications.
 
Can it be done inside a nebuliser ???

Its much easier to just pop them in that if it can be done that way.

I asked about a box for the whole of Marble when the specialist decided asthma, she said it would be very difficult to measure the correct dose, adn would need a high dose to ensure he had had enough.

This is excatly what my vet's said as well.

I personally don't try to do Alfie's inhaler on my own it stresses him out more. My O/H hold's him securely in his arms and I place the inhaler over his mouth. If he wants to pull away we let him, and keep holding him and try a few seconds later. If we only get a little bit in to him at least that is something, sometimes we just have to give up as it makes his breathing worse from the stress.

He has learnt that if he is a good boy he gets a treat afterwards. We put him down from doing his inhaler and he follows me to the fridge for his grape :love:
 
Son!

Just to say I have had a chat with my darling boy about the situation,
"i dont see what the problem is, just ask me!"
I did, I have, and it was ok this eve.
Marble, Alfie and I shared nose rubs over some pellets afterwards!
