I had a Westie who was on pretty high doses of prednisone for a long time for a mast cell tumor. The only side effect that I noticed was increased thirst and urination. In the beginning she starting having accidents in the house - but eventually she learned to hold it until I got home.
I'm sorry to hear your baby is sick. Why don't you try the prednisone, and if she starts to have objectionable side effects, you can always wean her off it.
Good Luck!! |
