My cat is approximately 7-8 yrs. old. he has asthma & IBS/chronic pancreatitis. AS a result he is on prednisolone twice a day. he had to have his belly shaved last summer for an ultrasound & his hair has never grown back. Does anyone know if that could be due to long-term steroids?

I think it could be because of the steroid. My kitty has been on one, mostly prednisolone for 5 years. I have noticed that when he is shaved for an IV now, like the dental that he had recently, it takes longer for the hair to grow back. I know that in human women it has an effect on hair growth. Women may have more issues with unwanted facial hair but the hair on their scalps will thin.
