    Prednisolone transdermal

    Our cat Murphy was recently put on Prednisolone transdermal (suspected IBD). He got .1 ml twice a day to start and now is at .1 once a day and .05 once a day. Vet is weening him off to see how he does. Even tho he doesn't mind his ears being petted, and in fact likes it whether inside or...

    Question about HCM and Prednisolone

    I am sorry to hear of Jengo's conditions. As I understand it long term use of Pred may impact the heart, as well as contribute to the development of diabetes. Budesonide is often used in lieu of Pred, for IBD, as it does not have the same impacts to either. So, you may want to ask about that for...

    How Long Does Prednisolone Take to Reduce Inflammation on cats with IBS and Increase Appetite?

    Hi, I also have an entire post about my cat, but she has IBD or lymphoma per ultrasound with high level of folate and whatever vet tried gives her liquid diarrhea. We tried novel protein, Visbiome, prednisole liquid compound and last, tried Transdermal Pred, and within 1st dose she gets liquid...

    Please help! IBD senior cat, but all meds cause severe diarrhea

    ...sizes that helps. Because liquid prednisolone gave her severe diarrhea which we had stopped, IM specialist recommended transdermal prednisolone, BUT transdermal also caused severe diarrhea after 1st dose. I stopped that too worrying dehydration, as she literally pooped liquid diarrhea after...

    Question about HCM and Prednisolone

    Thanks for responding FeebysOwner. The vet that treated Jengo for 17 years was the one who put him on Prednisolone for IBD a couple of years ago. After doing some research I found out that long term Pred use is not recommended. When I asked the vet he said that cats handle it very well with...

    Lowest effective dose of Prednisolone for IBD cat

    Hello - I am new here and this is my first post. My cat Max and I have been through the wringer these past 5-6 months. Despite a long history of digestive issues, we’ve had a vet who insisted on treating his inappetence as a dental issue. He had a dental procedure, the issue did not resolve...

    Lowest effective dose of Prednisolone for IBD cat

    Thank you for the reply. I have read that even on Pred, they can still experience some flare ups. That makes sense because while he is doing a ton better, it’s not perfect. I still notice days where he seems like he’s dealing with some discomfort or pain. We actually did try chew treats first...

    How Long Does Prednisolone Take to Reduce Inflammation on cats with IBS and Increase Appetite?

    So if a cat with IBS has a hard time absorbing things, then how can the prednisolone pill be absorbed? We have had her on it for 2 days and she has liquid diarrhea again and vomiting. We only switched her to prednisolone because we thought it might help her with her appetite since with...

    Mystery illness, Possibly Lymphoma, Not Eating

    Okay to skip mirtz if he doesn’t seem to need it. Pred will stimulate his appetite and that seems to be working well here. I’m on the fence about Cerenia. I know a lot of vets like it. In my experience with two cats and several anecdotes here, a lot of cats lose their appetite on Cerenia. I also...

    How Long Does Prednisolone Take to Reduce Inflammation on cats with IBS and Increase Appetite?

    Hi Shrimp's mom, I just came across this conversation, and wanted to ask if you ended up trying the Transdermal Prednisolone, and if so, whether it was better than the other version of prednisolone? My cat has either IBD or lymphoma per her ultrasound (we did not biopsy yet) and we tried...

    How Long Does Prednisolone Take to Reduce Inflammation on cats with IBS and Increase Appetite?

    My cat has been on mirataz for about two months now and her appetite went up and she gained weight etc. We tried Prednisolone liquid and it gave her diarrhea and she could no longer take it. She went back to Budesonide which acts differently than Pred so not sure why the vet in one of the...

    IBD cat not eating

    So the results show she has IBD, not cancer? Can you eliminate the Chlorambucil? Seems to be overkill for IBD unless Prednisolone by itself doen't work. Dude has been fine using just Prednisolone. Don't give up! You can see from Dude's weight chart that he went from 11 lbs to 8 lbs. If he drops...

    IBD kitty, barely eating

    My cat has had IBD for about a year and eating Royal Canin rabbit protein wet and dry food. She's been on Prednisolone for several months, which initially worked well, but now I'd say she's almost back to where we started in terms of soft stools and diarrhea, although she doesn't often vomit...

    Covetrus click dose pens

    Has anyone used Covetrus click dose pens? They aren’t twist a dose pens; you click the end like a pen. I’m on my third pen and having some issues with the pens malfunctioning. I am supposed to be giving my cat two clicks of Prednisolone per day (5 mg total). However, sometimes the first click...

    Please help! IBD senior cat, but all meds cause severe diarrhea

    Hi Artie's mom, i noticed in a separate blog that you've said you were using Budesonide for Geoffrey in February 2023, as he couldn't tolerate Prednisolone. What was his reaction to prednisolone? Did he have diarrhea and/or vomiting in response to prednisolone? We have tried two different forms...

    Willy might have cancer / high-grade lymphoma Treatment thread

    I've since wasted two more doses of prednisolone trying to mix it into different treats, and he just won't eat any of it. I am thinking it is the chicken flavoring in the compound that he finds undesirable. I was talking before about the supposed lack of having to refrigerate the med. I never...

    Socializing a senior (10-plus year old) feral kitty

    Take a look at Wedgewood pharmacy. They have compounded forms or Prednisolone. You can get it in treats or tiny melt away tabs as well as liquid. I use Wedgewood fir compounded gabapentin for one of my cats.

    Liver Disease, Cholestasis Cat

    ...I'm doing is simply not working. It's making him not want to eat food and the last thing I need is a food aversion. Has anyone had any luck with transdermal prednisolone? I've read mixed reviews of it not working as well as the oral formulation, but I'll take transdermal of anything I can get.

    How Long Does Prednisolone Take to Reduce Inflammation on cats with IBS and Increase Appetite?

    Absorption is better through the oral route. And while transdermal may seem initially easier, keep in mind that you have to alternate ears and wash off the prior days dose on the off-day ear or you’ll reduce absorption of the next dose. So there’s a lot more ear handling than many cats would...
