I agree.....Ava might be a bit uncomfortable coming off of the prednisone. Also, prednisone does increase appetite.
The fact she did eat her later meal is a good sign.
It is not good to stay on the prednisone forever, and I think you may just have to trust your vet on this one. Maybe ask him about Mirtazapine for a short time while she is going through this. That medicine is unbelievable! I used it for a renal failure dog...and am not sure if it would be contraindicated with the prednisone, but worth asking about it.
