After 4 days, reduce dosage to 1/2 of the initial dose or to an amount just sufficient to maintain remission of symptoms. Tomorrow will be the 4th day of taking Temaril-P so, I think I need to call the Vet in the morning to check on the dosage...oops, it already is morning!
I'll give the coconut oil a try...thanks! |
yeah you need to do every other day as internal medicine specialist and dermatologist say the best way to dose steroids is a therapeutic amount every other day - daily is not good and when you give steroids feed 1/2 meal give steroid then 1/2 meal as it needs to be surrounded by food as it can cause stomach ulcers if given on empty stomach and NEVER EVER MIX AN NSAID WITH A STEROIDS - NSAID IS metacam, rimadyl, deramaxx, etc - NEVER
