Thankfully I have not had to use > it often, but I wonder if it has the same negitive effects on dogs as humans. I'm willing to bet it does since it does with cats. My cat developed diabetes and then a short time later Inflammatory Bowel Disease. The prednisone keeps his diarrhea under control. I know it is causing damage to his body, but before we got things under control by using it, he was having to be bathed 4-5 times a day because of the diarrhea. He had to be confined to the kitchen again because of the diarrhea. He was starting to get very depressed, and it was a very traumatic event each time he had to be bathed. Even my husband was started to get very upset by the baths. The prednisone controls the diarrhea so he now has full run of the house again. He can come sit on our lap or sleep with us. No more baths except one in a great, great while. Sometimes quality is better than quantity. IMHO. Darcy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
