Hey.

I have had another really good look and not able to find anything literature wise. I am not able to find anything in abstracts either. The use has been heavily extrapolated. It was initially suggested on VIN I think. There is a paper looking at maropitant and bronchitis in dogs:

https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/26995558/

These rhinitis cats will often end up on a lot of medication and are often very refractory to treatment, so I would consider the maropitant in these cases. I think maropitant is generally a very safe drug, which probably makes me more inclined to use it.

Scott 🙂
