Recently I believe it was Carol who posted a question about hind end
weakness and the Pred dose she was giving one of her kids. I just wanted her to know
that we had our Oscar on 10 mg of Prednisone a day for 8 months with no
problems before he passed of something else. He also had 3rd degree AV heartblock
which is what took him. We upped his dosage over the course of several weeks
as symptoms occurred. We were crushing a 5 mg tab and putting it in Bob
Church's in the Am and another 5 mg tab in the PM. We never had any problem
getting him to take his meds and he did great right up until he peacefully passed.
I hope this might help others who are questioning whether they are at the
max dosage.

We got the pill crusher at a local drugstore. Worked great.
