| Yes, it has really bad long term effects including organ failure. Just google it. It is a steroid. Here is just one link http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prednisone

| prenisone Also, you shouldn't stop it abruptly, it has to be low dosed down. Dangerous side effects in dogs (and people), but sometimes it's the only thing that works. Get 2nd or 3rd vet opinion. |
