Prednizone is not causing muscle loss, it is the illness. This illness does not allow for the protein in the food to be absorbed back into his body. That is why you need the high quality protein like cod fish. However, he can't stay on a high does of Predinzone forever (without causing other health issues) - but I have heard that some people were able to keep their dog alive for many years (even 14) with a small dose, maybe every third day. You do need to take the dose down a little bit at a time. |
