Thank you Robert for the Pill Identifier idea. They actually had given me the wrong pill and were very apologetic. She was a tech that dispensed these and just didn¹t grab the right bottle. Yikes. They did in fact give me Prednisone instead of the Prednisolone. Just from what I had read on the internet as well as responses here about which one is better for cats, I called the vet first thing that next morning. All is well and I am opening each bottle now before I leave the office. Thanks for writing.
