I had 2 Rottweilers who took predisone, I would say a 105 lb dog could take up to 40mgs of predisone if need be. Even slightly higher if it is used to correct the immune system. Otherwise as a anti-inflamatory drug a lower dose would be needed.

How much prednisone do you give a 18 pound dog?

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.

No, you should not give your dog Delsym cough syrup or prednisone without consulting a veterinarian.

Always seek professional veterinary advice for appropriate medications and dosages for your pet's specific condition.


How long should my dog be kept on Prednisone?

This will depend greatly on why your dog was started on prednisone. If the prednisone was for a temporary condition, like getting an itchy skin under control, your dog should be weaned off the prednisone within a couple months at most. However, prednisone is also prescribed to treat Cushings disease, which is a permanent condition that requires medication for the rest of the dog's life.
