That is some good info to know. Thank you. I just started my Luci on
Prednisolone last night and I didn't like her reaction to it,so I'm waiting to hear
back from the vet. I'm wondering if it is too concentrated. She weighs 1.8 and
is supposed to take .2 mg twice a day. After I gave it to her last night, she
went to sleep and didn't want to wake up or even move. I made her get up and
gave her fresh water in a bowl on the counter and some ferret treats and her
eyes were pink and puffy. She will not be getting any more of that until I have
the vet check it out. I just lost one ferret and I don't want to lose another. She
is 5 years old and Toby was 6 when I had him put to sleep the other day.
