It was bad enough last night that my mom was mobilizing to take me to the ER if I didn&#8217;t stop vomiting.  Could y&#8217;all pray for my asthma to calm the heck down?  I have asthma issues so rarely that this is scaring me.<\/p>\n<p><strong>**UPDATE** Sitting in the ER getting breathing treatments because I can&#8217;t catch my breath and the cough is making me vomit.  Fun fun fun.  The doctor just asked if I wanted hairball meds on my paws.
