Reading about Prednisone.
I find that too much prednisone leads to:
Hyper thirst and hunger,
thinning skin and hair loss
elevated liver enzymes, which can damage the liver.
I got a full slicker brush off Jack when I brushed him, and before AD, I got almost nothing.  It could be because the weather is warming up, but poodles don't shed.
This IS too much prednisone.
I'm starting an experiment, giving him half his dose of Prednisone, or 5mg/ day.  If he gets lethargic or loses appetite, I'll know to go back to the larger dose.
