Prednisone/prednisolone is a chemo drug, and it is not at all unusual for it to cause quite pronounced shrinking of tumors. Unfortunately, the effects are usually short-lived, and after a while, the tumor grows again. > the pred dosage was .50cc every 12 hours, the pediapred is 1.5ccs every >12 hours. Is this normal?? The bottle says the following: 30 pediapred >6.7MG/5ML SOLN MPI The generic version that I have is 15mg/5ml or almost 3 times the concentration of brand name Pediapred, so tripling the dose going from one version to the next makes sense. There are also some versions that are 5mg/5ml, so you have to be very careful is adjusting doses if you change brands. >besides the fact that she hates the taste and .50ccs was hard enough I've had good luck mixing it in chicken gravy. Make sure she eats it all though! I hope your little one does well. Linda International Ferret Congress http://www.ferretcongress.org [Posted in FML issue 5068]
