It is also what our vet gives to our insulinoma
ferrets. The bilateral adrenal babies started out on
compounded prednisone in a liquid in a smaller
concentration, but even Pertwee was eventually moved
to pediapred.

Agreed. They don't fight me the way they do with some
medicines that they really hate. I think the fact
that we always follow up meds with either chicken
gravy or Linatone helps a lot. Our three on meds are
always awake and eager to get their treat.

That sounds high. Our local pharmacy charged us
$18.76 last week and we thought that was sticker
shock. It was around $10 a year ago.

All the best,
Caity and the super seven
