Seriously...can you IMAGINE the look on Bloo's face when he sees that his new bed is a DOG bed? And we thought his whining in "Cuckoo For Coco Cards" was bad!

But yeah, Wilt has asthma, which is apparently allergy-induced. Not all asthma is triggered by the same things. Most asthmatics are allergic to something, and have to use an inhaler to open their airways following exposure to an allegin, or, they might use a product like Singulaire(also available as an inhaler)to prevent asthma attacks in the event of exposure to an allergin. Activity-induced asthma is much less common that allergy-induced asthma, so it's quite possible that Wilt has never experienced the latter, although he DID run out of breath rather quickly after trying to shake Cheese loose from his hand in "The Big Cheese", and I was surprised that he gave out of breath and energy so quickly while pursuing Peanut Butter(Wilt seems to have some problems with IF's named after food, for some reason)in "Room With a Feud". True, it can be argued that in that episode, the others in pursuit of said redneck-sounding IF ran out of breath, too, but I really would have thought that Wilt would have more stamina than the others.

Yes, Wilt DOES specifically refer to the inhaler in question as "MY allergy medication"(emphasis mine), so yeah, it was indeed his. It would be extremely dangerous and uncharacteristically irresponsible for Wilt to carry such medication for someone else, unless they had the exact same prescription. That stuff CAN cause a potentially-lethal heart arrythmia if used by the wrong person, or used incorrectly, so it would not be sensible for someone who was NOT an asthmatic to carry it, or for someone to share it carelessly with others, without knowing their medical history.
