Giving Your Dog a Low Dose of Prednisone For Life?
My dog is 3 years old. There was a problem of itching when he was 1 years old and started with Vanectyl-P (2 mg of prednisone was mixed with 5 mg of an antihistamine). For 2 years I have done everything possible to try to leave the Vanectyl-P. All types of homeopathic treatments and diets that he actually was not taking any Vanectyl-P! The only problem, which was basically a vegetarian and can not live like this for a long period of time (enough protein and other nutrients important, obviously. We note that the essence is allergic to any animal protein).
It was 2 years, and now I believe it has Addison’s disease, and now definitely needs some kind of steroid (addisionian We think there was a crisis – was hospitalized – this is where the adrenal glands stop producing steroids – he p vanectyl was out for about a week now.)
Anyway, my question is, does anyone out there has some experience of giving your dog a low dose of prednisone for life? How long before you start seeing the effects of prednisone take care of your body? A few years ago? 2 years ago and is quite normal. Only major side effects are more frequent urination and a little more aggressive. His scratching is under control, with only 1 tablet per day. He is 50 pounds (20 kilograms or less) to receive 2 mg prednisone daily. What can I expect to be much prednisone for life? Anyone out there with experience? a long term experience?

My sisters dog was on Vanectly P for many years. It was a lab that lived to be 14 years of age years.If control your skin problems, and she is being supervised by a veterinarian (blood), may be what you need to do. It must be very uncomfortable for him to be itchy, not to mention the wounds from scratching and licking can follow. If this works and gives the quality of the dog in your life is worth.
I know several dogs who have to take prednisone for a whole, but do not know the exact details. I also know several people who have Addison’s disease / adrenal insufficiency mí.Basado, including me and I know about the disease is likely to have to take his life. When I was diagnosed in 1998, it took me a few days to look better and feel better. I guess that would be the same for your dog. You should contact a veterinarian about how your dog must have for your life. Probably will stay in a dose actual. Just can do some research on the internet. Or talk to your vet about it. They know better.
