She takes inhaled corticosteroids but this persists and the vet is just no help.

What can I do about it, do i need to put her in a damn head cone?

Edit: im going to try her on an oral steroid for a little bit and keep up her inhaler schedule going while i go nuclear on sanitizing the environmemt.

I threw out all the fabric-type things like mats and carpets and stuff like that and swept and mopped a ton and it does seem like its calming down a bit

    Definitely in the speculation department, but for humans, an allergic reaction to dust mite poop can trigger the asthma. So, you might be able to help your cat by just wiping/vacuuming the floors more often.

      Maybe brush the cat more, so it doesn’t feel the need to clean itself as often. Or at least swallow less fur and whatever is in that fur.

        Im not so sure they are correlated. She doesnt groom less when i brush her, its quite possible it creates more grooming because the brush releases more hair and stimulates her wanting to do it more
