Hi All - looking for anyone with experience of dogs coming off prednisone. This seems like a good place. If someone could let me know where to post the story and questions I have - that would be great! Thanks!

Hi everyone, my recently-adopted dog just underwent heartworm treatment ("low positive" test result, 2 injections of immiticide), and was prescribed Prednisone for approximately two weeks: 7 days of 1mg/kg, 5 days of .5mg/kg, and a tapering-off period of 3 alternating days of .5mg/kg. Some...

I have a 50 pound husky lab mix, and I recently noticed he had fleas. Got him his first frontline, but he was still itching even after they started dying. I took him to the vet, who prescribed prednisone for skin irritation, and he's been acting really lethargic. I went back the next day because...

I have a coonhound with IBD, and a host of other issues. He's quite old. He will be on the prednisone for life. As time goes on dose has went up along with the ugly side effects. I am a very patient person, we rescue dogs no one else would,but am about to loose it. All I do is "yell" at the dog...

we were blessed with a gorgeous baby Yorkie Poo on Thanksgiving weekend, he was born 9-26-2012 and his name is Peanut. We knew when we adopted that something was wrong and after many vet visits and testing we know our baby has severe hydrocephalus. If you met our baby P today, you wouldn't know...

My vet thinks my dog has discoid lupus. We've done the biopsy after months of battling with medications and let's wait and see. The pathology results most resemble lupus but are not 100% definitive, how ever, the results don't match anything else. Apparently the pathologist has never had this...

Hi there, I've just found out my 14 year old Yorkie-poo has very late stage Lymphoma. It's really bad as it has spread throughout her body including her organs, especially her lungs. She has very fast laboured breathing and I really don't know what to do. The vet has recommended chemo or...

We have a two year old golden retriever female who we rescued over a year ago from a breed-specific rescue. Toward the end of this summer, she started scratching at her belly. I noticed from time to time she would have little scabs or irritations. Over the past month she has been scratching...

My 3 year old spayed lab has started showing a ton of unwanted behaviors. A couple months ago she was diagnosed with an autoimmune disorder that gives her polyarthritis when not treated with prednisone (she's on 15 mg/day now). She humps her blanket and other dogs/puppies obsessively. She...
