Question
Hello ,
   My Dog LELIA had a bad HOT Spot that she had been chewing on x 1 Day .. Was given 20mg Prednislone 20mg on per day x 2 Days ...  Stopped ,, TODAY she is not herself .. Hard time walking ,vomiting ,, lifeless .. Help

Answer
I don't understand this question. Did you stop the prednisone because she was acting lifeless and vomiting or did that start after you stopped?
You should NEVER just stop giving prednisone-especially at that dose. Can cause all kinds of problems.

You need to call the vet tomorrow as soon as possible and get her in.
I would also give her a half of the tablet tonight.
Call the vet's in the morning. Ask the vet about the symptoms of stopping it cold turkey.
