Seeking advice on asthmatic cat

My 6 year old cat was diagnosed with mild asthma about three weeks ago. The vet prescribed Prednisolone liquid solution for the attacks and we’ve just finished them. Her attacks came back almost immediately so I called the vet asking what to do. They’ve offered a refill of the Prednisolone but I’ve read long term steroid use is not good for cats. I asked if an inhaler would be a better option and they basically just said if I found something other than what they recommended they could put an order in but what I want is advice on what’s BEST for HER. I just feel like they’re not taking it very seriously and her attacks are the worst they’ve ever been. Do I demand an inhaler or keep her on the Prednisolone?

Any vets who can offer advice on asthmatic cat?

My cat was diagnosed with mild asthma and was prescribed Prednisolone liquid solution. it’s been about three weeks and we’ve finished the steroids and her attacks came back almost immediately. I called the vet again and they offered another prescription of the Prednisolone. I have read that long term steroid use can have negative effects on cats. I asked about an inhaler and they basically just told me if I found something other than what they recommend they can put an order in but what I want is advice on what’s BEST for HER. Do I keep her on the Prednisolone or should I demand the inhaler?? I just feel like they’re not taking it very seriously for some reason..

Masking burnout

Is anyone else here a very high masking individual and is it ruining their sanity.
I don’t know how to stop and i’m losing my mind. I think I feel even more pressure as i’ve never been clocked as neurodivergent by anyone i guess because i’m seen as pretty. I dunno even when I try not to mask it’s like I just can’t. I’m really struggling with not only my identity because of it but also i feel constantly overwhelmed. I’m afraid of regression, and for the first time in my life i think i may benefit from a therapist but my medical insurance just got cancelled. i hate feeling so alone. it’s like i do these huge performances that genuinely drain me and I still hate that version of myself. i’m still so unsatisfied with myself. dealing with my suicidal ideation and self harming habits have been my biggest issue and i’m scared i’ll just end up giving up. i’m sick of feeling like i need distractions when i just want to exist in peace but it’s like i can’t. what happens when i run out of distractions?

Looking for a purifier that’s good for an asthmatic cat (best for particle/dust removal) w/ NO OZONE and true hepa

I’m having trouble deciding between the Coway 350/250 (if anyone knows what the difference between the two is, that would be great as they are the same price!) The other options I was looking into are the Winix brand and the Blueair brand. I do own one Blueair but I feel like it doesn’t do that good of a job :/ if anyone can recommend which is better for particle removal i would greatly appreciate it !!
