I don't know if the dosage varies for high grade lymphoma, nor do I know which form of Prednisone you are referring to, so I will give you the general dosage of 'regular' Prednisone, instead of a compound steroid.

According to my book, which is a comprehensive guide for drug usage in dogs and cats, the dosage for a 113 pound dog is .5-1 mg/kg PO q 12h. Translation: 1/2 to 1 milligram per killogram of body weight by mouth every 12 hours. Your dog weighs 113 pounds, which is 51.25 killigrams, so the dosage of this med would be 25 to 51 milligrams every 12 hours.

Keep in mind, though, that the dosage varies for many illnesses, so please, consult with your vet before giving your dog this medication. Usually, when a dog (as well as people) take this med, it has to be gradually decreased, and not just discontinued, even after taking it for just a short while.

Also, keep in mind, the dosage I gave you is only a general guideline for this particular med. You can probably call your local emergency animal clinic for free, and they can answer your question much better. This would certainly be much safer for your dog.

I can't stress enough the importance of asking a professional before taking the advice of a non-professional. While I do have some knowledge in medicine, I am not a professional, so I strongly advise you to check with one.
