Ping Marina
Hi, Marina I read in another thread that you are thinking of stopping Nikki's prednisolone. I understand why you would want to do this, but please check with your vet first. I had a dog on long term pred once and I seem to remember they have to be weaned off it gradually over about a month. I'd feel happier if you gave her her tablet today, since she missed yesterday's, and see what the vet says tomorrow about how to get her off it safely. Tweed

I know that in a human, stopping prednisone after long term use has to be done very slowly. Stopping suddenly can be fatal. Jo

I'll taper it off slowly, unless she starts wheezing again. -- Marina, Frank, Nikki, and introducing: Mere! marina (dot) kurten (at) pp (dot) inet (dot) fi Pics at http://uk.pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/frankiennikki/ and http://community.webshots.com/user/frankiennikki
