Tiny recently had surgery for insulinoma and is being managed beautifully o=
n a tiny dose of prednisolone daily. His owner has contacted me to say tha=
t Tiny's feet become quite a dark pink, but after his Pred they return to n=
ormal colour.
I have suggested that he give the pred twice daily for the moment.
I can remember that this symptom has been discussed either on this forum or=
the FML, but I can't locate any posts which give any reason for the phenom=
enon or if it indicates anything at all.
Can anybody help?
