This kind of caught my attention and made me wonder............I got a prescription of prednisone today for myself due to having a bad reaction to my allergy shots. On the insert that came with the medicine, it says, "This medicine may lower your ability to fight off infections. Avoid contact with people who have contagious diseases." I'm assuming this is the same medicine given to ferrets with insulinoma. Do you think the same thing applies to them, that they are more susceptible to our colds, the flu, ECE, etc., when they're on pred? Just wondering......... Susan D. [Posted in FML issue 3219]
