Another side-effect of pred is bone loss. One of mine was on it for 1.5-2 years and broke his hind leg. Very slow to heal, was pinned for quite a long time. He is off it now. Having trouble eating and having an irritated throat - is it possible he has developed a stricture from getting pilled each day? I don't have any experience with it myself, but have read that giving a little water after each pill can help to avoid this...
