Hi I currently have trixies cerenia for nausea compounded into an oral liquid. Do You know anything about the generic form of cerenia and if it works as well? Also how do you feel about prednisolone being compunded into flavored treats? Effective? Thx

I have used the compounded Cerenia in one case before with success. If it is from a reputable compounding pharmacy, I wouldn't have concerns. I haven't had any issues with compounded prednisolone and I think it would be fine and effective.
