Subject: [ferrethealth] IBD and prednisone dosage
To: ferrethealth@smartgroups.com
Milo just finished his round of antibiotics and is now on prednisone
maintain dose. But he is still having loose stools. From very loose to peanut
butter. No change in diet, just the change in meds from the cocktail of
antibiotics and pred to plain pred.
He is taking 0.25ml twice a day of pred. He weights 2 lbs exactly. The
treatment seems to be working cause he had lost weight down to 1.8 lbs and is
now gaining weight.
He does not appear to be in any distress. He is happy, playing, eating,
sleeping and drinking. Its just the sometimes gassy loose poop. Do I need to
adjust this dose up? Would prednisolone work better? I am concerned. My vet
is not a ferret specialist.
He would like me to wean him down to one dose of pred every other day over
time!!! He says the goal is to get to the lowest dose of meds to control the
disease.
