It is best to give prednisone with food to reduce the chance of it irritating your pet’s stomach.
Ok, this is very typical for heartworm treatment The tapering prednisone hopefully will prevent any inflammatory reaction that might happen from the dying heartworms Within a few weeks of ending the prednisone, all traces will be out of her system & she should continue to do just fine. Throughout the recovery period, please watch your pet for coughing, gagging, vomiting, diarrhea, or loss of appetite
Excessive sluggishness, respiratory distress, and coughing up blood are signs of a serious problem that require immediate veterinary attention. Many dogs experience soreness and swelling at the site of their injections The most severe side effects are related to a large number of worms suddenly dying. Hi all, i recently adopted a heartworm positive male lab mix, 1.5 years old, 46.5 pounds, in minnesota
He got his first injection of melarsomine one week ago and is on prednisone (currently 10mg every 12 hours).
