Hi. My french bulldog was diagnosed with meningitis in April at 8 months old. He had suddenly went blind and we were referred to a neurologist after the optomogolist found nothing wrong with his eyes. He was on prednisone for about 2 1/2 months slowing tapering off. At the age of 1 he was done with the prednisone. However, after 3 weeks he started to lose his sight again. So now we are back on 10mg twice a day for 3 weeks and then will taper for the next 5 months. I am extremely considered of what this medicine is doing to him. Although I know that without it things will only go downhill. Any thoughts as to what I can do to try and counteract the prednisone. His neurologist says that his immune system just wasnt strong enough due to his age and the meningitis. Thanks for any advice.
