Amani...
I think I overstated myself with the prednisone...
IThe explanation I got was that the active metabolite of prednisone is
prednisolone which actually does the work and the animal needs to be
able to make this conversion.... There appears to be some question as to
the feline ability to make this conversion ( I would
add....reliably...because it is clear that some cats HAVE profitted
greatly from prednisone....
The question I have is IF the active metabolite is what is doing the
work... why would , anyone, prescribe prednisone??? ..... gets
confusing ...no??

Hi Bob
When I was treating Zander, all the vets were using prednisone on
cats, so that is what I used on Zander. I don?t agree it is useless. I
have used prednisone on other cats, with good result. However, I now
understand that prednisolone is a derivative of prednisone and is
better and safer for cats. This is my understanding as to why this was
changed, but I have heard from vets that the two are interchangeable
in terms of dosage, etc.
