prednisone for animals

I've been on 3-10 mg of steroids (prednisone is how it is called here) for the last five months because I continue to have mild to severe attacks that need me to have a portable oxygen tank a nebulizer and of course my broncodilator inhaler wherever I go. This dosage has worked well for me, varying it depending on my symptoms.

How can you ask IF prednisone is safe for a cat than go on to state you can give advice on dosages.....

Just try not to keep her on Prednisone for a long time as it can cause health problems like diabetes. I know this, because I have an IBD cat. IBD cats are usually treated with prednisone along with other things. As the IBD gets worse, the dosis increases (until the cat has to be put to sleep) So then you have a diabetic, IBD cat. But, after all, medication for a long time has its side effects, right?

In lab rats provided with daily doses of prednisone one hundred percent of the test animals developed malignancies after six months. This was a direct result of shutting down their natural immunological response and an inability to generate tumor necrosis factor. Short-term use of oral prednisone may be life-saving, however prolonged use of prednisone may be life-threatening.

Believe me, i want to get rid of the cats. But i don't even mess with them. They're my husband's cats. He takes care of them i do not. They just like to annoy me. I honestly only take care of my dog, turtles, and our fish. But like i said, there's absolutely no animals allowed in my baby's room. None have ever gone in there and probably won't ever go in there. I'm keeping my baby away from the animals for quite a while.

Ok so I have a small dog, she is a weenie dog mix. I've had her for 6 yrs and I have a five yr old daughter. I never had any problems with the dog. But ever since I found out I'm prego with # 2 she has been acting out.... Potting in the house, tearing up trash, eating my food if I sit out down to go to restroom ect... Has anyone else had there animals act like this while they were prego? Idk what to do with my dog I luv her very much but I don't need the added stress.......

but yes i recomend the blanket thing to people with both dogs and cats so that way the smell isnt a shock to them...but most animals usually adjust very quickly...

My cat never slept with me in my room he would always sleep in my moms room on her spare pillow with his blanket and ever since ive been pregnant hes never left my side! He throws fits when I leave my room for more than 5 minutes and he nudges my stomach almost all the time every day. Has anyone noticed a change or is it just me?

Or, explain how you are feeling and ask your partner to step up to the plate with her. For him to do more to care for the dog and have the dog fall more under his responsibilities. AND< perhaps a good dog trainer would be in order. A dog should go to the bathroom outside only and learn manners and if you tell them to sit and stay that they do it. so, I'd get some dog training for your pooch to see if that helps. My dog is one of the joys of my life.

Are your cat's in heat

Anyone else feel so much closer to their animals now? I have a 8 month old kitten and before I got pregnant she didn't want anything to do with me, now she's constantly all over me and if any body squirts her with the spray bottle I get extremely defensive and she's always wanting to be near/on my belly. Just wondering if anyone else is going through this?

Does anyone else have any animals that are glued to them?

It is quite weird. They knew I was pregnant before I did. Its weird to think about.

I am sure some of you have animals. I have a sweet black cat and a tiny chihuahua that is a bit crazy. My boyfriend wants to get rid of them before the baby gets here which I think is ridiculous honestly. I have had these two their whole lives and they are my first children. He is worried about them not adjusting to or hurting the baby which I understand but on the other hand I am aware there will be an adjustment period just like we have.

i was just wondering if anyone knows if it's true or has experiencing with their animals sensing when labor was close? I have a husky and she's usually a spoiled brat, she doesn't like to cuddle and she don't lay be me. She stays at the end of the bed or on the floor but yesterday and today she has been laying by me and curling up right against me. Just wondering if maybe she knows it's coming?

My chihuahua will sit and and look at me and just start crying and howling for no reason. And if I walk outside she freaks out and cries she has to literally be with me at all times. Could this mean labor soon? I just don't get why they are being so weird.

i wanted opinions about my dog. I don't know I animals can tell UR pregnant but my dog just follows me all ova my house. I'm mean more than usual since I've been pregnant. I'm 15w 3d i mean its to the point where I almost trip on her. If I kick her out my room n close the door she will just lay right outside my door TIL I open it. If she's in my room she lays right nxt to my bed to where I gotta step ova her to get up. Sometimes I don't even know she's there.

My animals are so funny now! My horse is mad at me my dog is obsessed with me. My goats follow me Around like I'm their mom. My donkey loves me to death! Any other mamas find that their animals act strange especially later in pregnancy?

So I've heard some people say animals can sense labors near... Has any of yu ladies animals sense labor? Nd if so how did they act? My cat lately has been like stuck to my belly.. everytime I'm layin on my side she comes up nd lays by my belly like pretty much holding my belly nd usually she's up by my head wen she sleeps..

I would get her off of the prednisone, as quickly as possible-it weakens the immune system and can cause diabetes(it happened to one of my cats, until I took her off of it. Google diabetes and prednisone together and see for yourself what comes up. By the way, my cat had GI problems, too.

I also have panhypopituitarism. I have been on 5mg of prednisone since my dx in 96. I have been doing some research and am interested in finding out more about constant subcutaneous infusion of hydrocortisone. My days start off OK but by 5pm I am very fatigued.

has me concerned.when admitted to hospital and they say they are going to give me prednisone i apoligize first for what i will say later...

Humans have neglected these animals, which live exposed to disease, hunger, weather and attack from dogs, humans or other cats and animals. Some of these cats may survive for several years before succumbing to starvation, disease, dogs, other animals or motor vehicles. Failure to prevent or control a feral cat population amounts to inhumane treatment of animals. Feral cats can also harbor and transmit fatal and non-fatal diseases to humans.

I forgot to add that the ER vet said to keep him on 5 MG of Prednisone for a couple of more days. Next, she said to administer 10 MG by mouth once every other day for 2 doses. After that, she wants me to stop the medication completely. I dread giving him more steriods, but I know that you have to be careful weaning and you need to do it right. I just hate to see him having trouble breathing (it seems anyway) when he's sleeping... he even wheezed today (why? after steriods??

I sound like a seal, my throat is sore and my voice goes out. I have to take 40 MG of prednisone for a few weeks, an albuterol inhaler too. She said the inflammation has to go down in the lungs to get better first. also one has to try to figure out what triggered the attack to begin with,Mine was most likely allergies. so we treat that along with this. i am hoping she helps this. sh also has me taking benedryl at night and that helps with the post nasal drip.
