I used brand name Pediapred for a number of years, obtained from a human pharmacy. Then, quite a few years ago, my pharmacy only carried the generic. I tried it and the ferrets didn't seem to take to it. I had them order Pediapred for me, which they did. At one point, I ended up with another generic and it worked beautifully. I have been using this generic brand for probably 8-10 years now. I have never had a problem with it. In fact, my vet has started using this also. It is the same as Pediapred and is considerably cheaper for the 120mL bottle.

As long as it is the same formula, it should be fine. We all take generic drugs all the time It is so easy to administer. The ferrets just take it and move on. I feed a small bowl of soup and then give it to them when they finish. Katharine Florida [Posted in FML 7558]
