Hi Ric,
How do I avoid that?
Doctors say the Mac is flowing in my lungs. I have had 2 cat scans. But the problem is I am very uncomfortable and I have a lots of sputum. I feel like I have infection all the time. And my life quality has changed. 🙁
I also have tow cats and I am sure my cats are not helping my situation. I love my cats but everyone is telling me I should give them up. I am so confused. I wonder if anyone else hear has cats or dogs?
Thank you,
Suzanne

Untreated Mac can cause cavitation if left untreated. I am the poster boy for that, I ignored symptoms for several years. Treatment includes ACT's, antibiotics, PT and surgery. Getting the right pulminologist early is key! While I recently lost my GSD, she was by my side every step of the way. She developed DM the last 2 years, I got her a harness with a carrying handle and took care of her.
After my diagnosis of MAC and NTM on 09/2023, I reluctantly removed my long-haired cat on 02/2024 due to constant congestion, dust from litter, and daily vacuuming. I also had our carpets professionally cleaned. I immediately noticed a difference in my breathing and sputum clearance.
Have a cockatiel and a Goldendoodle. Put the bird on the back porch when warmer and vacumn alot! Keep the cats if possible out of your bedroom. My door is closed and Murphy doesn't come in the bedroom. Change filter in ac more frequently. B
