My cat's asthma is better. Should I stop Zyrtec for her allergies?

Question

I give my cat Zyrtec to help her with her asthma, should I continue to do that? My cat has asthma ( which is minor) and allergies. I've been giving my cat Zyrtec twice a week because she doesn't cough more than 3 times a day. I figured out that dust is the main thing that sets off her asthma attacks. She's been doing a lot better since I've been vacuuming my room more often and I'm wondering if I should continue giving my cat Zyrtec even though she isn't coughing a lot? What is best for her?

You should speak to your vet before discontinuing any prescribed medications but if she has such mild symptoms and such a low current dose, it may be worth trying her without and monitoring for any changes. Any worsening of symptoms would indicate need for further medication
