Christa, Catfamily -

Why do your cats take prednisone?

I had a cat took it for pain in his back. 5 mg daily. After 3 years, he developed kidney failure. It advanced rapidly and he died within 7 months of diagnosis. Subq fluids quickly went from every other day to 4 times per day and that wasn't enough after a week. Someone suggested the prednisone caused the kidney failure.

So I am curious about other kitties who take it.

Sorry, no suggestions about the button. I like the idea of call the vet and ask what they think.
