Is the Temaril the prednisolone? Or is that totally different? Maybe I'll call specialist back and see if we can try him again on the Temaril P before we try the Prednisone. The Temaril doesn't say a miligram amount on it..just 1/2 tab once or twice a day, but the prednisone is 5mg, and it sounds like a lot.

Thanx for your help. Let me know if Temaril is Prednisolone (with the "L" or it that's totally different.) Thanx so much.
I hate to put him on anything cause he's a zillion times better than he was, but don't want to risk inflammation flaring up again. xo
2mg of prednisolone is in the temarilp and it is mixed with tavist - why was he in ER from temarilp ? Yes the 5mg is alot - my girl was on 5mg a week of prednisone and she looked horrible after a few months. I would work my way up and go slowly up rather than the big whammy myself - some vets tend to go to high on meds i think
