This would be a very good question for your VET!

Prednisone is very rough on them. That is not a type of medication to guess on. It has to be taken in cycles and the dog has to get weened off it. This is very important to discuss with a vet. The vet will tell you how much and how frequently. Like I said, they have to get weened off of it. It is VERY IMPORTANT! They can have seizures and cause their hormones to get wacky.

None unless it is prescribed by a vet. What is it you want to give this puppy a steroid for. To build up muscles?

You need to ask your vet...the dose varies on the reason its being given. Also you can't just stop and start a steriod...once given the dose must be tapered off slowing so please talk to your vet instead of trying to prescribe meds yourself.

Whatever amount my vet tells me to.

Please just call your vet and check. They know the dosages.
Source(s): I own 3 dogs and would never administer anything to my animals until I checked it out with my vet.
