What would be considered as a short term treatment with 1mg prednisolone for allergies flare up ?
Hi, thanks for using Boop by Petco! Steroid use, dosing and the taper needs to be decided upon by a Vet that has examined the pet. We can not prescribe drugs or tell you how to use a drug because we legally are not allowed to. I am sorry. I recommend calling your Vet and asking them since they have a legal relationship with you. Have a great day!

My sister's dog has itchy red skin on lower part of belly near privates. Been given prednisone, didn't work. Is there anything natural the she can give?
Thanks for using Boop by Petco! There is nothing natural that will consistently work for these types of skin condition. However, he may not require more treatment in the future if you are able to find out exactly what is affecting him and get that treated. This is most likely skin allergies in which case it is a matter to try to find out what he is allergic to and try to avoid that. There are other medications like Apoquel that your veterinarian could prescribe that help with the itch in the meantime. The first thing you should know is that you are not alone. It really comes down to figuring out what is causing his allergies so that they can be treated or the specific allergen avoided. There are many things that can cause allergies though in most cases they can be broken down into 3 big categories: flea, food and environmental allergies. Allergies are usually worked up in a stepwise fashion starting with flea allergies as this is the easiest and cheapest to take care of. If not o

Hello, a few weeks ago my dog was feeling super itchy so I took him to the vet and was prescribed prednisone for about 2-3 weeks. He finished his last dose yesterday. However I have noticed that since he began taking the medication my dog has started
Thanks for using Boop by Petco! This is likely due to increased appetite which is a very common side effect observed with prednisone. I highly recommend that you let your veterinarian know so that his prednisone dose is perhaps modified. Good luck and have a great day!

My dog (8-10 months old, small breed , similar to dachschund) had a problem with breatching - he had a dyspnoea attacks, he was exhaling with a lot of effort. he had rhinoscopy and was diagnosed with some kind of acute inflammation of soft palate.
Some dogs will have an elongated soft palate that can become inflamed, and prednisone helps reduce inflammation. Dachshunds are also more likely to develop a disease called lymphocytic-plasmacytic rhinitis that causes chronic nasal inflammation. This disease is usually diagnosed by taking biopsy samples during a rhinoscopy. In either case, the prednisone would probably not completely eliminate the disease and some kind of medication might be needed long term. I would recommend discussing treatment options with your veterinarian. I think his chest x-rays look normal for his breed.

I went for vet for hives and eyelid inflammation as shown in the attach photo he give prednisone tablet 10mg twice but only for one day .... and as I study it has severe effect in body if taken on regular basis last time also on 28 December he had it
Thanks for using Boop by Petco! I'm sorry Bruno had hives and other skin irritation. Prednisone can have an effect on the body if given long-term or at high doses; typically, a short course of a steroid can have some short-lived side effects (increase in hunger/urination, eating/drinking more), but tends to be otherwise well-tolerated. While any medication can have an adverse effect (and if you are seeing any concerning signs I would reach out to your regular veterinarian immediately), low doses of appropriately dispensed steroids should be processed fine unless there is another underlying medical condition. Again, if you are concerned or if Bruno is showing signs of being ill, I would have him evaluated by a veterinarian as soon as possible.
