Question
Hi, three days ago, I put our Corgi on Prednisone 20mg starting 2 tabs for 5 days then one tab for 5 days and half a tab for 5 days.  After the first two days he vomited so I gave him only one tab the next day and now I what to know what will happen if I don't give him any more. thanks Linda

Answer
Hi Linda,  I'm sorry I didn't back to you sooner, I was on vacation.  I hope you gradually lowered the dose of the Prednisolone.  Prednisolone has to be gone off at a slow process as it has half lives, and can cause kidney problems if cutoff too quickly.  I hope everything went ok, and I do apologize for not getting back to you sooner.  Hope your Corgi is doing well.
