Is 5 mg pred every other day better than 2,5 mg everyday?

[Musiaka]

Right now Musiaka is on 2,5 mg every other day, but this dose is too low for him during shedding. Vomiting hairballs returns in about 2 weeks of going down to this dose. I want to raise it and our vet says to do 2,5 mg instead. But isn't it better for his adrenals to do 5 mg every other day?

The yo-yo effect of daily spiking and crashing the meds is probably gonna be bad for your cat. The smaller dose at closer intervals helps level things out.

But really, you should ask your vet.
