I have a 13 year old cat who has had IBD for around 3 years and is on Prednisolone. Every time we try to taper down from 10 mg to 5 mg she has a flare up and starts throwing up and is unable to eat. The vet gave us anti nausea medicine which helped and she is now taking 5 mg. However, I am not sure if she can decrease the amount since she has not had a flare up. My vet has also been giving her Vitamin B12 shots which seem to be helping. She is borderline diabetic but we are keeping it under control with changing her food. Of course I worry about the side affects since she is getting older but I really am unsure what do.If anyone has had their cat on long term Prednisolone I would appreciate what affect it had on their cat.
Thank you!
