ugh, I was going to say an allergy. I would consider another vet visit to go over why the cough is worsening. Long time steroid use in humans isn't good so imagine the same for a dog. Let us know what happens, okay?
Took her back for one week checkup and vet explained large breed dogs some times react negatively to Prednisone by getting lethargic and haivng muscle atrophy. Cut her Prednisone in half and wanted to start her on Chlorambucil 2mg. I looked up that drug when I got home and learned it's used to treat cancer - and needs to be handled with gloves. I'm hesitant to give my dog that chemo-like drug.
Thanks for the info, but it is daily that this has been happening. It got better after being on steriod therapy for awhile but only on the high dosage not intended for long use.
It is a very serious illness and unpleasant for your dog. And Prednisone treatment for 6 months is a long time. Prednisone is usually fine with no of very few side effects when given for a short course, But I guess your vet feels that this is the best treatment for your dog.
Can you ask your vet about supportive treatments to cope with any side effects?
Alternatively, maybe you could consult with a herbal or holistic vet, if you can find one near you or within driving distance.
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.

These are available over the counter in health food stores as GI protectants, stomach aids, or will actually say that they are for leaky gut syndrome or IBD since humans get these also. These are human products, so use 1/4 of the human product for your dog.
It may take years to correct the leaky gut/IBD. Prednisone is a good drug for this since it decreases the inflammation in the gut.
‘Feral cats are animals that are no longer under human control, but live and reproduce in the wild, usually in close association with humans. 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.
My basset hound had surgery for a ruptured disk two weeks ago and has recently developed bed sores. I have tried to keep him clean and dry, but he is on prednisone and urinates frequently. I have tried diapers, pads, towels and blankets between his legs, but he is not yet walking and I need to know what to do to cure these sores. I am washing the area frequently and drying it, and then applying an first aid anitbiotic ointment. What else can I do?
I have had tinnitus and vertigo for many years. 7 years ago I was put on prednisone for myalgia pain. My pain went away but it had no affect on my hearing. It did affect my belly....it bloated out like a pregnant woman...lol...I got off prednisone back in january of this year. If you can avoid it then avoid it. If you need it for other reasons and not for hearing then I guess you have to continue taking it until it does not good for you.
The vet gave her a shot of depo medrol,prescription for prednisone 1-3 every other day.She hasnt gotten worse, cant tell if its helping. Been 2 months.The last 2weeks, we've NOT slept. We've had some storms recently, snow, cold weather.Dog at same time each night we go to bed11pm, comes into bedroom, whining, standing under the bedside table, face to the wall. We try to take her outside, but she wont go, sometimes we'll feed/water, and she'll indulge.
Well, constipation or diarrhea can cause what you describe. Heck diarrhea or constipation can cause bleeding to humans. I should know, heh. There are also other health conditions like Inflammatory Bowel Disease, Chron's Disease etc which are diet related and can be controlled by switching to proper nutrition.
Now, back to the constipation topic. Is your cat regular?
Guess you have taken the dog to the vet by now, what was the diagnosis?
I have no experience with the breed, and age seems too young for old age problems...but I can say a 10 yo Golden we had had a spinal seizure that caused some rear leg paralysis. We used water (dog paddling) therapy to get him back on his feet. He lived for two more years, had some problems getting around but was not in any apparent pain.
I heard the words "spinal stroke" as the possible cause.
