He is awful young to go down the pred road..it's a long term anti-infammatory. You say only pred. Educate yourself on the differences between prednisolone and prednisone..one or the other may suit better in certain circumstances.
Also yes, Baytril CAN cause blindness but only in large inappropriate doses. Proper doses are based on weight of the patient. They are safe within that boundary. I raised the very same concerns.
My Tinkerbelle was on prednisolone, which my vet prescribed because he felt it better for her system. She was also on Baytril intermittently, with only beneficial results..UNTIL the illness superceeded the effects of both the Baytril and Prednisolone. We started her off on the maximum dose and in the beginning were able to back it off until the least dose, worked for what was going on at the time..gradually it had to be increased as the illness grew and changed.
I dont know what other two drugs your vet wants to add to pred. DO look them up and explore the side effects...and be prepared for those..because they can be serious. The prednisolone/prednisone particularly. It diminished her beautiful thick coat, and it made her sleep much, much more than normal..among other things. It also made her voracious and she put on weight like crazy, I couldnt fill her up. The are quite serious.

Tinkerbelle had about 18 months till all of this didnt benefit her any longer and I lost her last week, she was 12. Watch Mystic very closely for any secondary infections..often the secondary ones are almost impossible to treat but you have to try.
Good luck.
