Uses

Prednisolone is a corticosteroid that is used in dogs and cats to treat hypoadrenocorticism (Addison's disease), and other various conditions such as inflammation from arthritis, allergies and certain autoimmune diseases. Prednisolone reduces swelling and decreases a pet's ability to fight infections. It should be given with food to lessen stomach upset, and should not be stopped suddenly without talking to your veterinarian. There should be a gradual reduction in dosage before stopping as serious side effects may result.

Possible Side Effects

Prednisolone is safe for dogs, but like any medication, there are risks involved. Most common side effects of Prednisolone can include excessive thirst and excessive urination, insomnia, nausea, vomiting, upset stomach, and fatigue. They usually go away when the drug is stopped, but your veterinarian may start you off on a lower dose and slowly increase it to avoid these side effects. However, long-term use of high doses of Prednisolone may lead to serious health conditions, including stomach or intestinal ulcers, perforation, bleeding, diarrhea, lethargy, increased risk of infection, behavior changes, diabetes, or cushing’s disease. If your pet stops eating, or you notice signs such as high fever, black, tarry stools, or bloody vomit, contact your veterinarian immediately.

Precautions

Pets that are allergic to Prednisolone should not take this medication. It is also not recommended for pets with viral infections, ulcers, tuberculosis, Cushing’s disease, or systemic fungal infections (unless it’s being used to treat Addison’s disease). Use the drug with caution for pets with diabetes, heart disease, osteoporosis, cataracts, high blood pressure, or kidney disease. It should only be used in emergencies for younger animals and pregnant animals because it can stunt growth or cause ulcers.

If you need to use Prednisone for your pet, always follow your vet’s instructions closely. Never abruptly stop the medication, but instead, slowly transition off of it.
