prednisone will be broken down by the liver and
then it will be prednisilone. Prednisilone
has a lower alcohol content in it as far as I remember,
but not by much.
Either is fine for now, but check with the vet if
he/she has a preference. Main thing to find out
is the exact mg dose you want to give. You have two
separate meds with two different concentrations
so one dropper for the one won't equal one dropper
for the other because each dropper may contain a different
mg amount of the medicine.

Best to ask the vet.

What I have is a bottle of each. I was told by the vet today on the phone that I needed to start Bob on Prednisone. I told him I had prednisone and on the bottle it lists 1.7mg and to give 1 dropper full #15ml. And at that time I was thinking that the other bottle (which is Prednisolone), was prednisone too. But later I was thinking and realized that I had a bottle of each. Maybe I shouldnt start Bob on either one until tomarrow now. He hasnt had either one ever. The bottles are from Trixie's situation. I was just thinking that one was worse for him. Do I have you confused yet ?
