Anyone know if the weight gain that is so common with prednisone happens quickly?
Ryder was started on pred Thursday afternoon after he hurt his back. He has appeared to gain a substantial amount of weight (maybe a few ounces but when your not even 3lbs that's a big deal) in just a few days. Granted he's on crate-rest and hasn't done a thing but eat and sleep but I am wondering if this is all water weight or if it is actual fat
Anyone have experience with this? His regimen is the quarter tablet of pred (super teeny tiny) once a day for seven days, and then every other day for four days. He is to be in his crate or in my arms (with exception of potty of course) for four weeks.
I hate him being on it but will suck it up and finish the treatment. If it happens again we will have to look into something else.
Thanks pals.
