Questions
can i use this for my 3lb yorkie and my 8 lb Morkie?
- My dog was having severe anxiety and panic attacks. This medication has worked very well for her. The results have been amazing. She is back to normal since she has been taking it. I think that the dosage is based on the weight of the dog, so you would need to contact your veterinarian to request a prescription for the appropriate dosage.

Is this suitable for cats?

Can I get prednisone for my dog without taking him to the vet
CBC showed low red blood cell count & VERY low white blood count. Vet prescribed 5mg Prednisone every 12 hrs 2nd CBC, 1 wk later showed normal red & high white blood counts. Continued Prednisone at 3/4 tablet every 12 hrs for 3 weeks. This sounds excessive to me, what do you think. Can damage occur with continued use of Prednisone? No diarrhea, No vomitting, No fever, Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks, Jan
