Can I give my dog prednisone and Cosequin DS together safely?

Yes it is perfectly fine to take these medications together as one is an opiate and the other is just a joint supplement (not technically considered to be a drug). There are no contraindications to using supplements along with any drugs for that matter. Take care and best wishes.

It’s safe to use the prednisone with the dexamethasone shot, they are in the same class of steroids. I would wait more like 5-7 days between the last prednisone and the Rimadyl. Longer if Toby is prone to stomach upset or diarrhea. When used closely together, these two classes of medications can cause bleeding stomach ulcers.

Hi there and thank you for using Pet Coach! It does not appear that there is anything in Senilife that would adversely interact with prednisolone so you should be ok to use both at the same time. Please let me know if you have any other questions or concerns and I would be more than happy to help you further.

Great question! No, you absolutely CANNOT give a steroid (prednisone) at the same time as a NSAID (Metacam). This is a very big no-no! This can cause huge, life-threatening side effects. He can take a muscle relaxant and/or an opiate along with the steroid. You should also you vet about these medications as they are prescription medications. All these medications work synergistically together. You should also consider acupuncture. It works wonders for these injuries. Hope this helps. Best wishes.

Cushing's is a disease characterized by an excess of cortisol, and prednisone is a corticosteroid that acts like cortisol in the body. So if a dog is taking prednisone for a medical condition herbs to treat Cushing's would potentially counteract the prednisone, and I wouldn't recommend them.

Yes your pet sure can. Prednisone is a steroid and Apoquel is an immune modulator drug that specifically targets the receptors on your pets skin that cause itching. In fact, right now Apoquel has no drug interactions with any other type of medication, so it can be used along with just about anything. If your pet was not able to be maintained on Apoquel alone, then a low dose of prednisone or Cyclosporine can be used with it. Also I would recommend Fish oil supplements which are natural anti-inflammatory way to help a pet with skin allergies. Any pet formulated fish oil product from your local pet store will do.

Other than the prednisone there is nothing in all the other supplements that you are giving that could harm him, even when given all together at the same time. the are these helping his condition? that is another question which i am afraid i cannot give you an answer to.
