But between this forum and others suggesting a push for an increase in
dosage for Fozzy, a call to the vet as mentioned said I could give him
0.25 ml of the 5mg/5ml pred.
**You can actually go much higher than that if needed. That's actually my
usual starting dose, in fact.**
When asked which pred Fozzy was actually getting the receptionist
said, " Prednisolone is the generic form of prednisone - they are both
the same thing."
**No. Prednisone is a generic name of a drug. Prednisolone is a generic
name for a different drug. Prednisone is metabolized in the body to
prednisolone, so giving prednisolone allows the body to skip that extra step.**
