You have to be strict with diet as weight can cause more pain if joint issues so you have to keep them real lean if they have joint problems - you have a double edge sword there but if on steroids you really should measure out food or they will put on weight
also a dog on steroids should NEVER HAVE NSAIDS both affect lining of intestines so it is a double whamy to give dog both and why my dog was so jacked up - I knew it and trusted vet and am kicking myself ever since  |
Well, she is not feed anymore than normal, so I contributed the weight to fluid retention. I am also aware of the problems with weigh gain and her joints.
I have never given her the meds at the same time.
