Subject: Practical Upper Limit for Pred?

Is there a practical upper dosage limit for prednisone in ferrets? I
seem to recall from past FHL posts that in terminal patients, the sky
is the limit.

I'm about to boost Bear's pred dose *again* to see if we get a good
response like we have with the past two increases. This will take him
to an incredible 10mg per day. The past two increases got him back on
his feet again, but unfortunately the effect lasted less than a day
both times.

Thanks,
