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?
- My vet prescribed it for my elderly cat.

Can I get prednisone for my dog without taking him to the vet
How much prednizone do i give a 10 yr old 9 lb minpin for bronchitis she is waiting on meds but she's in distress now and want to give her prednizone on hand I have 10mg tabs that I take
My male cat has been prescribed antibotics and prednsione for broncitis. He is 16 lbs, is 5 mg of predisone a small dose? And giving this pill. 2 doses a day for 7 days then one doses a day for 7 days then one doses once every other day for 7 days a okay thing? Is this going to cause terrible side effects
Gave my dog who weighs between 8 and 10 lbs 2.5 mg of prednisone, the prescription is old and I can't see if it says to give her 2.5 twice daily for inflamed joint pain and arthritis pain. I did give her a regular dose this morning and it helped but I can tell she is in pain again tonight, don't know if I should give it to her every 12 hours or every 24 hours. The vet we use to go to is no longer there and no other vet will tell me. I don't have the money for a vet visit Help !!
Hello, my now 30lbs puppy has been on Prednisone for about 4 weeks for puppy strangles. It was 20 mg per day but at his appointment yesterday the taper was started, and the dose was bumped up to 30mg as he has grown since initial dosing. We were told to now start giving 30mg every other day for three more weeks and then we can stop. This does not seem like much of a taper to me? Any thoughts as to if the dose or frequency should further be reduced over the next 3 weeks? Thanks!
What would be considered as a short term treatment with 1mg prednisolone for allergies flare up ?
My dog takes 5 mg Prednisone daily for 5 days, Is it safe not to wean him off Prednisone gradually? Vet said nothing about it.
Vet prescribed Prednisone 5gm tablet for cats. Do I pill him or can I grind it into food? Also for my other cat vet prescribed Albuertol Sulfate syrup 2mg for "as needed" can you tell me what is that used for and is it just used for coughing spells.
My dog was diagnose with this and tx with prednisone what is a good way to give the pill
Our dog has been taking Prednisone for an allergic reaction that she occasionally has. She winds up needing it about once every three months we have been having to go to the vet and pay for an appointment and also pay for the medication each time. Is it possible to get it here cheaper?
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
Hello, My cat Bugger has squamous cell carcinoma. He weighs 7 lbs. Can you please tell me which dose of Prednisolone would be best for him daily? He is getting 2 1/2 mg. now but I am hoping 5 mg. daily would be more helpful. He does not have a vet now . The one he had misdiagnosed him twice. We can't go to anyone else. Please advise. Thank you. Linda
