🐶🐱 What Prednisone / Prednisolone Is

• Prednisone is a synthetic corticosteroid drug.

• Dogs can convert prednisone into its active form, prednisolone, in the liver.

• Cats do this much less efficiently, so veterinarians often prescribe prednisolone instead.

---

💊 What It’s Used For

Prednisone/prednisolone is commonly prescribed for:

1. Inflammation

• Skin allergies (atopy, flea allergy dermatitis)

• Ear inflammation

• Joint inflammation and arthritis

• Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD)

2. Autoimmune Conditions

• Immune-mediated hemolytic anemia (IMHA)

• Immune-mediated thrombocytopenia (ITP)

• Lupus and other autoimmune disorders

3. Respiratory Conditions

• Asthma (cats, especially)

• Chronic bronchitis (dogs)

4. Cancer Treatment

• Helps shrink certain lymphomas

• Provides anti-inflammatory relief when cancer causes swelling

5. Addison’s Disease (dogs)

• Sometimes part of treatment to replace missing adrenal hormones

⚠️ Important Safety Notes

Never give prednisone without veterinary guidance.

The correct drug (prednisone vs. prednisolone), dose, and taper schedule depend heavily on:

• Species (dog vs. cat)

• Age

• Underlying health conditions

• Concurrent medications

• Reason for treatment

Common Side Effects

Dogs:

• Increased thirst and urination

• Increased appetite

• Panting

• Restlessness

• Weight gain

Cats:

• Increased thirst/urination (less common than in dogs)

• Increased appetite

• Behavior changes (rare)

More Serious Risks (long-term or high-dose use)

• Increased infection risk

• Gastrointestinal ulceration

• Diabetes (especially in cats)

• Muscle wasting and weakness

• Thinning of skin and fur

• Liver enlargement or enzyme elevation

• Adrenal gland suppression (why tapering is important)

---

❗ When Prednisone Should Not Be Used

Avoid or use with extreme caution in pets with:

• Active infections (unless being treated)

• Diabetes (especially cats)

• Cushing’s disease

• Heart disease

• Stomach ulcers

• Kidney disease (certain cases)

Never combine with NSAIDs (e.g., Rimadyl, meloxicam, carprofen) due to ulcer risk.

---

🐾 How It’s Usually Given

• Oral tablets or liquid

• Short-term high doses for inflammation, then tapered

• Long-term low doses for chronic disease

Tapering is essential. Stopping suddenly can lead to adrenal crisis.
