The first thing I'd try is giving the Prednisolone 3 times daily, once every 8 hours, instead of 2 times daily, every 12 hours. The Pred is metabolized and gone from their system within about 8 hours, so they essentially have a 4 hour window now where they are not being helped by it. Start by taking the total daily dosage and dividing it by 3 instead of 2. Give that amount once every 8 hours and see if it helps. It's also best to give the Pred with some food, if you're not doing that already.
