Remember Prednisone in its self can cause them to be more hungry and to drink and pee more. You have to trust your vet so if your not trusting them then I would try to find one you do trust. If he says just stopping the prednisone is fine then you need to trust him. If you stop it and her issues start happening again then you can go back on it. One thing you need to look at with age and everything is if coming off the prednisone starts the issues again do you want to just keep her comfortable for the time you have left or do you want to try to put her through more testing? With Callie I want to have more quality days with her then quantity which is why when they tried to pull her off pain medicine I refused and put her back on it it. I know that stuff is extremely hard to think about but sadly when they are sick and getting old we have to think about it. Many people in my Cushings group who had dogs showing the signs of steroid induced Cushings pulled their dogs off of it right away and the dogs started to get better as the steroid cleared out of their system. Me personally before putting her through any more testing I would try getting off the prednisone and see what happens. I had more luck with CBD oil helping Callie's hair then the melitonin but when he liver became compromised I pulled her off of it because CBD oil can raise liver enzymes.
