In regards to arthritis you may want to look into dasuquin as it is like cosequin but with msm for pain relief. Many see great results on Cosequin for LP so you may want to ask vet about that and if you needed added pain relief then you can step it up to Dasuquin.
Yes, it is prednisone and she starts out with 3 days dosage and then every other day. The stuff really works... but the weight gain!!

Thanks for the suggestion of dasuquin, I will look into that because she does need something for pain. Also will check on the temarilp.

Thanks again!!
