No medication should be given to your dog unless your Vet has recommended or prescribed it. Prednisone and other steroids have undesirable side-effects, but the benefit MAY outweigh the risks in your dog's case. Best to contact your Vet with any questions about your dog's medications.
What if your dog is showing signs of Cushings a week after Prednisone was stopped?
This would be extremely unusual and a reason to take your dog back to the vet clinic immediately. Cushing's is a disease caused by excessive levels of corticosteroids; prednisone is a corticosteroid. Therefore, to see signs of Cushing's a week after the prednisone was STOPPED (removed) would be extremely unusual. More likely you are seeing signs of Addison's (lack of corticosteroids). Regardless, both conditions are potentially life-threatening, so your dog should visit the vet as soon as possible.
