Hi all, prednisolone question. I give my cat liquid pred, and he currently gets 0.1ml every second day (in the process of tapering down).
Tonight, he jerked his head at just the right time and the syringe came out of his mouth as I was administering it. Some of the pred dripped onto his fur/the floor instead of going in his mouth (I would say more than half the dose missed his mouth).
I'm just not quite sure what to do. I don't want to give him more and risk accidentally giving him a higher dose than he's supposed to get. But I'm also not sure if him only getting probably half or less of this dose will have negative consequences. Has anyone been in this situation before? Any thoughts?
