Hum... I have a ferret on the liquid prednisone right now and my label says
"Prednisone" not "Prednisolone". It came straight from my vet. So, I am inclined to
say that yes, they do have liquid Prednisone. As far as I understand it, the only
difference between the Prednisone and Prednisolone is how they break down in the
liver... with Prednisolone being more gentler.

[Moderator's Note: Thanks for the info.
The liver breaks Prednisone down into Prednisolone, so going directly with
Prednisolone means that liver processing step is skipped, making it more effective if
the liver is at all compromised.]
