It depends on the weight of the dog. I'd suggest that you check with a vet. Prednisone, when not used correctly can harm the dog. It is a great drug, but it can also be a dangerous one without professional guidance.
Well, not sure what helps the pain, but cod liver oil helps to prevent it.
Answer:One of the best medicine, or rather supplement for dog Arthritis would be Flexpet with glucosamine and CM8. Both glucosamine and CM8 formula help to relieve muscle pain and eliminate the joint pain in dogs, plus help improve mobility. Pets with hip dysplasia may also benefit from the effects of glucosamine.For more information about Flexpet, visitthe related link below
Prednisone is used to treat dogs with artritis.
There is no set dose for an 8 pound dog; veterinarians typically prescribe within a certain range based upon the dog's symptoms and what the prednisone is being used to treat. Prednisone is a powerful drug with the potential for serious side effects, particularly in such a small dog. If you believe your dog needs treatment with prednisone, you should make an appointment with your veterinarian for an examination.

Just went to the vet and he switched our dog from duramax to prednisone. They DO NOT mix well. Doing so can severely hurt your dog.
None, unless prescribed by a vet.
No. In fact, you should wait at least one week after the last dose of carprofen (Rimadyl) before starting prednisone, or another NSAID.
When giving Prednisone to your dog they have to slowly be taken off of the medication. Do not abruptly stop giving this medication to your pet as it will have serious side effects.
I am assuming that your dog is under a Veterinarian's care? Go to your Vet and advise him or her of the problems you are having and that way your Vet can adjust the dosages of Pred that he is giving. Why would you ask this question on the internet, go to your Veterinarian.

I used to get my dog's prednisone filled at the drug store.
This will depend on the dose in the pill of prednisone. In all cases, consult with your veterinarian if you have questions on proper dosage for your pet - some animals may be given a higher dose than others based on variations in clinical disease.

i give mine Tylenol (Not a Wise Choice! ) A better safer dose Vet recommended is: 325mg of Buffered Aspirin 1 every 4 to 6 hours. For pain, inflammation and swelling, helps with Arthritis in older dogs.
