I have not tried any inhaled meds.

Another thing I thought of when you mentioned cough meds.......in addition to the Torb, which is mixed with Pet Tinic, (do you use that? It really helps!), they also gave him Hycodan for a while. The two of those were used intermittently and it did help some.

It really is trial and error. Oh...and often they get upper respiratory infections due to the diminished airway. I have found that Doxycycline has also helped. Even if there is no sign of infection, if he is not responding to treatments, we sometimes start antibiotics.
I know this is an old thread, but it is so helpful. Thank you. Prince is having a hard time.
