I rescued a 16 years old senior chihuahua. He was on costinone( prednisone) for the past 10 years. When I got his medical history I found out that no veterinarian ever did any X-ray to prove that he needed cortisone in the first place. The previous owner just kept saying that the dog needed it without questioning him. The previous owner never payed for x-rays. So when I payed 900 dollars for x-rays and full checkup, THE DOG IS PERFECTLY NORMAL AND NEVER NEEDED COSTISONE. The abuse of cortisone is extremely dangerous and it was killing the poor dog. So we did a sevrage of 2 weeks. Dog is now "drug free" and full of life and super healthy.
Great to hear that your dog is doing well without any meds. What was he being treated for because I'm struggling to think of a chronic condition that is treated with steroids that would be definitively diagnosed by xray?
Hey 👋 Dr Alex I have bad news Rosie Mae ran away on the 4th of July due to fireworks my neighbor down the road had a massive party down in the hollow below there house and they started setting off fireworks around seven till around ten thirty and a quarter to eight Rosie was freaking out barking and she wanted out and I wish I never let her go outside because I never saw her again I've been looking for her on foot everyday my neighbor closest to me put it on Facebook and my veterinarian Dr grimes has been making phone calls to clients that live kinda a far away but not to far away but so far no luck. I don't know if she went back to were she came from originally and they pinned her up or if someone else got her. Even my local animal shelter posted her picture. Maggie lou has been so depressed without Rosie 😢 I don't think I will ever see her again
My 2 and a half year old shih Tzu has suddenly started itching and getting red between her paws and up her legs 4 months ago been trying elimination diets but give up after 2 weeks as I can't stand her suffering from itching all the time. Is it safe to give her 1mg of prednisone tablets every day till her allergies get better? worried about the effects on her kidneys.
You need to be sure there is no infection present and then pred is one option although the dose needs to be right and is based on weight. A diet trial takes 8-12 weeks to be sure if there's a response or not. I talk all about allergies in the dog allergy summit https//ourpetshealth.com/allergysummit
