Hi, Patty,

In the case of prednisone (general), I agree. In the case of pediapred,
unless it is compounded, there is a standard concentration. It doesn't
appear on the bottle I get from the pharamcy, so I can't tell you what
it is, but if it is pediapred (not prednisone, not prednisolone, not
compounded) it is an apples-to-apples comparison.

My main point, though, was not to administer ANYTHING like that without
a vet.

Regards,
Caity and the non-stop nine
