5 mg is a typical (but not a "right") dose. There is no agreed-upon "good" dose.

5 mg seems high because, that's also a typical human dosage.

If you use this drug, be sure to taper it off in the last few days. Decrease the strength the cat takes, as well as the duration time between usage.

This drug needs to be eased out of a cat's diet. Not suddenly pulled out.

By the Prednisolone, is slightly better for cats than Prednisone, despite the similarities. Some cats cannot metabolize Prednisone in a way that is as good as they would with Prednisolone. (Prednisone breaks down into Prednisolone in the body).

Very dependent on reason age and condition of pet, a well a s breed. Cats should not take prednisone at all, but prednisolone instead, a form the cat is more readily able to utilize.

Can a dog take CLARITIN It is not misspelled the word is CLARITIN?

Surprisingly enough, the answer is yes. Claritin is safe to use for dogs to relieve itching. Claritin-D should not be used on dogs, as it contains pseudoephedrine. Also, Claritin contains propylene glycol and should not be used on cats. Dosage for dogs is about half of the recommended human dosage for medium sized dogs, and about a quarter dosage for small dogs.

What are dogs and cats?

no cats are not dogs because they are different animals. That is correct; cats and dogs are both members of the meat-eating animals, the Carnivora. But not all Carnivora are dogs or wolves. Some are cats, some are bears, some are weasels, some are seals, some are hyenas, and so on.
